dred-aDd-fifty machines. These ma.
chimes are all operated by motor
power, doing away with all pedal
work incident TO a family sewing
machine. The machine Is started
and stopped by y simple touch of a
lever, and the operator has no work
to do other than to guide the mater
ial. Some of the machines are high
speed ones, making as many as $500
strokes minute, and affording an

Each operator makes only one GER

Is paid for according to the number
of pieces made, afrording an active
girl the chance OF making a larger
salary than would ordinarily be paid
for days work. From five TO ten
dollars week should be a fair aver
age earning; some will be able to
make even more.
The Company, recognizing the fact that

to their homes TO spend their Sun

Saturdays and open later than usual

will send down several of their best
lady operators as instructors, and
those who are so Fortunate as 10 re-
ceive the benefit of several weeks
instruction under these capable and
experienced ladies will be far better
lifted TO earn more than those who
come in later. Another urgent
reason for commencing as soon as
the factory begins work, which will
be about November LIST, is the fact
that some of the machines have a
larger earning capacity than others,
and the first to come will get all the
plums-the best machines.
The Company has contracted for the
erection OF ten handsome and con-
yenient cottages upon its property,
to be rented TO the families of the
operatives. Each cottage will be
expected TO furnish not less than
two operatives TO the factory, either
from the family of the tenant, or as
boarders. A congenial party of four
or five girls could rent a cottage to-
gether, and thus rerder their ex-
pense much less.
Every effort will be made by the manage
ment TO secure only girls of the best
character and to maintain the high
est moral standard.
