THE PRESENT.

The machine Of the past was cumbersome heavy.
running noisy, ungainly and inconvenient. One b,
one these defects were attacked, new machine
coming 70 the front as having removed defect
another as having got rid Of some other until II hai
become true, that by the force of competition almost
any Of the standard machines of to-day nosaess 4
greater or less degree Of merit and any Of Them are
as Tar in advance Of the oldtme machines can bt
conceived
Sewing Machine Co, located at Springfield o., a city
with worldwide fame for the excellency Of its man
ufacures. At their factories here they are engaged
s6iy ss3Ieiy anu exclusively in the manufacture Of the
"ROYAL ST. JOHN" machine which does not base
It's claims for superiority any Of the points
merit claimed by its rivals but boldly lays claim tC
every meritorious point to be found any other
chine, and in addition II claims possess many unique
and valuable features entirely peculiar to itself In
every possible demand and requirement Of the people
have been fully met. With a large experience in tho
manutsctnre OF sewing machines, ample capital and
every desirable appliance for producing perfect work
its manufacturers have been able to embody 1t the
following requisite features:
list, Perfection of Mechanical PrincI-
ples.-Startng out on a radical new departure from
the system OF cams and cogs by which some Of the
existing machines transmit their notion and the syb-
tenn OF loose and yielding joints used by the remain
der, they adopted for the Royal St. John system en-
urely free from all cams cogs loose joints
ing the rotary motion of the main shaft into an easy
oscilating motion by means of plain diagonal
trio, and conveying the same to the shuttle and feed
without the Intervention Of single loose yielding
joint.
Next dropping the old heart for co onveying mo-
tion TO the needlebar and the resultant dip rest or
Irregular motion, tnty introduced plain, straight
cross-head securing regular reciprocating motion to
the neede-bar.
Next, they made use of take-up which derives its
motion entirely Independent Of the needle-bar and
not actuated by spring, but positive in both drec-
tons and not drawing the thread until the shuttle
passed through the loop.
Next they dispensed with the OF a spring used
by all machines to the back motion Of the feed
and adopted feed that was raised, moved forward
and brought back positively.
ed, Perfection of Nee hanIcaI Con-
sIructtOn.--To secure this, every portion Of the
machine, both iron and woodwork, is made by the
company, under the personal and ygilant supervision
of its president and his force Of skilled supernten-
dents. The most expensive aud best-construc ma
ehinery for specially producing each part Of the
chine is employed The very best material used and
all subjected to the closest possible inspection As
natural result OF machine perfect both in principle
and construction, there Is secured to the Royal ST.
John the following essential features:
LIGHTSEss AND EASE OF RUHHING.-Having no ir-
regular notions and being free from the joints found
in other machines, aud in addition possessing un-
equaled treadle motion, 1t stands pre-emineut as a
light and easy-running machine.
QUIETREss-This is also secured by the regular re-
ciprocatng motion of every part of the machine. In
all machines with irregular diferentia motion, Any
increase Of speed necessarily produces great increase
Of noise, which is avoided iu our machine. The Roy
al st. john becomes quieter and easier running with
age and use Instead Of wearing loose and rattlin
as must be the with cams and loose joints, the
wear n our machine only tends to smooth the bear
ings and reduce the friction.
DURABILITY.-This desirable feature follows a
natural consequence from the construction describ-
ed. The less the friction of machinery, the less the
Mears tue ireer IL IL from irregular motions anu
shocks, the less the wear. No other machine offers
you the same freedom from wear the Royal ST.
John, and In other does the which does
affect the action Of the machine so little.
As judge Of machinery you will be able to decide
upon the justness OF our claim that we offer what
other machines profess TO Offer and we now call your
attention to some features that other machine
claim, and which make ours au entirely distinctive
machine and therefore especially desirable. We refer
to this popularity, viz: In our machine IL matters
not phich iody II is run JOroard or backward II will
always sew in the direction without any differ
49, a al nE
the motion Of the machine frequently you
please and you could not tell from the closest exami
nation of the sewing that any change had been made
To sum up, we offer you machine possessing every
convenience that thought or inventive genius can sug
gest-having absolutely selfsetiDR needle, holes
to thr ad through except the eye Of the needle, loose
hand-wheel for winding the bobbn without the neces-
ity of unthreadng machine or removing work "a feat
which this company was the hrst to Introduce on
a sewing machne), simple and easily-controlled ten
better-made and more finely finished woodwork, and
cOnvenienees possessed by none other.
A Few Reasons why &c HReigns Su-
preme.-It is simple, easily-managed runs light
does great range Of work-in fact, possesses every
point merit claimed by other machines, and In add
tion has the following unique features:
1t has holes to thread in machine or shuttle, eX-
cept the eye Of the needle.
ii has no loose joints TO create lost motion.
II can be run either forward or backward without
loss change Of stitch.
It is, therefore, without competition.
1t is the machine the people want.
EE-Call and see 1t before you buy.
