makes four different stitches the Lock, Knot,
Double Lock and Double Knot, and the same
machine. Each stitch being alike on both sides of
the fabric.


1t has the reversible feed motion, which enables
the operator by simply turning a thumb b-screw, to
have the work either to the right left to stay
any part of the same fasten the ends of the seams
without turning the fabric.


Changing the length of the stitch and from ono
kind Of stitch to another can readily be done while
the Machine is in motion.


Every stitch is perfect in ITSELF making the seam
secure and uniform.


1t is almost noseless and can be used where quiet
necessary.


Its motions are all positive there are springs to
get out of order and its simplicity enables the most
inexperienced to operate it.


It viii lot oil the dress of tho operator, as all the
machinery is on the top of the table.
1t is the most rapid sewer in the world, making
FIVE stitches to each revolution.


Its stitch is the wonder of ALL because of its COM
bined elasticity, strength and beauty.
1t does the heaviest or finest work with equal ia
ciity without change of tension machinery.
Every machine has one of Jencks Patent Hem
mers attached, (the right to use which we controO
enabling the operator to turn any width of hem de-
sired.


There is no other Machine which will do SO large
range of work as the Florence"


1t does not require finer thread on the under side
than it does on the upper.


The needle is more easily adjusted than in any
other Machine.


1t will sew across the heaviest seams from one
to more thicknesses of CLOTH without change of ten
sion or breaking of thread.


1t is fully protected and licensed by Elias Howe,
Jr and his associates, and our own letters patent.
To avoid the strain on the eyes, bent posture, close
application, and fatguing care heretofore necessary
on large proportion of work done on sewing
chimes, now furnish each Machine with "Barnums 3
Self-Sewer." which guides the work ITSELF and is of
incaculable value especially to inexperienced ope
ratOrs.


While possessing the above and many other ad-
vantages the Florence is sold at corresponding prices
with other frst-claSs machines.
