A MANUFACTURING PROJECT.
An Opportunity to Locate a Large Sew
ing Machine Factory Here-It
Should Be Embraced.

ing Machine Factory Here-It
Should Be Embraced.
While WATERFOWL, with it's wealth
OF natural beauty and resources-its
advantageous location and splendid
traffic facilities-its fine public utili-
ties and cOvetOus situatiOn'in the heart
OF d rich agricultural community,
ranks high among the cities of our
commonwealth, it is an indisputable
fact that our city does not occupy the
position from a commercial point of
view that it might were we engaged
in more manufacturing enterprises
True, there are located here a number
of most desirable enterprises of this
sOrt-enterprises which we could not
well afford to lose and which are
generously approximations the great
need of WatertOWn, in order to make
a most substantial and noticeable ad-
vancement, is the institution of some
sort of manufac Glory that would create
a demand for large forces of skilled
labor. There are plenty of desirable
sites for the accommodation of such
an enterprise, and we hope some day
| to see them utilized.
One of the leading manufacturing
industries of the country is recognized
! to be the production of the sewing ma
chine. The extensive capital invested
in this branch and the accruing profits,
| together with the marvellous inventions
that have brought this useful house
! hold article to a high state of per-
| lection, present most encouraging
aspect. As an instance of the worth
OF this industry 10 community, let
us refer to the city of Belvidere, H.,
where a sewing machine plant was
established few years ago. Last
year the plant employed l, 800 hands,
earning from 81. 80 to s. per day, ac-
cOrding to the grade of their skill.
This force of wOrkmen means a pOpu-
latiOn of at least 5000. What an ad-
dition to our community an institution
! of this kind would be! And the best of
it all is that an opportunity is presented
right here in our midst for the ac-
cOmplishment of such project, if our
people will but join heartily in the
movement and with determination
push it to elimination. What is need
ed is capital. The patents covering
the best points of sewing machine
inventions that will produce something
never yet in the market-are owned
in this city and can be utilized both
for the city's advancement and for the
welfare of the projectors, if any should
agree to take hold of the venture.
The new patents have been thoroughly
tried and given every test, and have
been proven just the thing for the
present advanced age.
This machine possesses all the good
features Of all sewing machines, to
gether with many improvements none
others possess, viz: Automatic,shuttle
capable Ofhandling the finest textures
manufactured to the cOarsest thread
spun, together with all fancy threads,
such as silks, embroideries, chenilles.
arrasenes, wOrstedS, ETC., without
change Of tension; automatic tension,
both above and below, thus producing
an even stitch and elastic seam, with
a spool pin that cannot be tangled up
and one such as no other machine pos
sesses; an automatic tension release
that will permit of the filing of the
bObbin without unthreading the needle;
fOur-mOtiOn, nOn-clOgging feed that
never loses its hold on the goods
until the needle is down in the same,
thus inSuring a straight seam and
feed that will carry the work over I'M
even surfaces better than any and all
under-feed machines in the market;
also feed lever that may be changed
in an instant if desired for certain
work; take-up, or slack-thread con-
trOller operated by the main shaft
thus insuring perfect stitch at "a high
rate of speed as well as a slow one; a
vibrating presser foot under braider,
etc.
1t is positive machine throughout,
admitting Of extreme changes from
short to long stitches with the least
change Of tension Of any vibrative
shuttle machine extant, and it is a
self-evident proposition that any COM
pany bringing out a sewing machine
embodying SO many new and dis
tinctive features could not only com
mand their choice Of dealers in every
city in America, but could demand
and obtain a handsomely profitable
price for their production.

factory.
