The Hunt Loom Attachment
Promises a Revolution in
Weaving.
It's Economical Advantages Render Its
Universal Adoption
Necessity.

Weavers, mechanics and manufacturers
are taking a great interest in the new loom
attachment; and even capitalists are be-
ginning to see the great money making
possibilities of this machine.
J. H. Blgelow, master mechanic and
formerly superintendent of the Waltham,
Elgin and Springfield Watch Factory, now
owner of the machine works at 10 Steven
son street, in this City, says:
zone would suppose, after the old
methods of weaving had been in use for
thousands of years, that there was little
room for improvement in the looms, but
the idea of this loom attachment is new
departure, ingenious in its simplicity,
practical. cheap, efficient and durable. One
great point in its favor is its universal ap-
plication. believe it is destined to be the
method of weaving in the future"
Mr.. Hunt, the inventor, said: "My
father was weaver and in my young days
] learned that business. / saw the neces-
sitv and the possibility of an improvement
on the looms in use, and for thirty years
have worked almost constantly to get an
attachment to a loom that would enable
loom to run without stopping, and would

thread. | have succeeded, and now any
one can see it work. We will soon have
others built, and l will show you loom
that | can start to weaving at night when
1 go to bed, and in the morning when /
get up it will still be weaving.
aside from the advantages of running
without stopping and weaving with con-
tinuous filling thread, there are many
other points of saving. 1t saves waste
and power, and labor, and when desired,
it places in more than one filling thread at
once. In fancy weaving it places in various
colors of filling thread as the weaver de-
sres and does it automatically without
stopping the loom.
'sThe points of saving are so great that all
looms must use the attachment. l think
it will not be long till the weaving of the
world will be done with this attachment
on every LOOM"
d. M. Seaton, vice president of the Hunt
Loom and Fabric Company, was seen at
the Office OF the company at 504 Kearny
street, room 10, and said: We have now
one loom with this attachment in opera
tion and any one can see it. We will build
other sample attachments as soon as pos
sible. The Lawrence Manufacturing Com
pany are sending Us the latest style OF cot
ton loom on which to place this attach
ment. We expect to run them at $50 picks
minute. These attachments built in

we can sell them at 500 or we can rent
them at 50 per month. When we think of
the vast quantities of woven fabrics that
are made and consumed and of the 8,00O,-
600 looms now running in the world, and
that this loom attachment saves from 10 to
20 per cent of the cost of weaving, you
begin to understand the magnitude and
importance of this attachment.
No, our corporation will never be as
cecsad The SOeN Sh arcs of stOpk
now selling at 50 so per share will give us
all the money we require to carry out our
plans.
To fully realize the value and prospects
OF this attachment a person must under
stand the old methods of weaving and the
construction of looms now used all over
the world. Each one of these looms stops
500 times in ten hours. Then look at
loom with this attachment weaving with q
continuous automatic supply of filling
thread and running all day without stop
ping, and you want to sit down and think.
For the benefit of weavers and mill men
| desire to say that we will run a ten-foot
wide loom at the rate of ninety picks
minute and a narrow cotton loom at $50
picks per minute.
Some of our friends have criticized the
speed of the old loom on which we have
first placed this attachment. Let me say
that it keeps up steady gait of sixty-five
picks per minute and before Christmas it
will run at ninety.
Come and see it any day at o'clock at
209 Capp street, and l will show you the
greatest moneymaking machine in this
world
