Il makes four different stitches. the Lock, Knot,
Double Lock and Double Knot, on one 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-scrcw. 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 one
kind of stitch to another readily be done while
the Machine is in motion.


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


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


Its motions all positive: there are no springs to
get out of order. and its simplicity enables the most
inexperienced to operate it.


1t will not oil the dress of the 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
cility, without change of tension or machinery.
Every machine has one of Jencks Patent Hem
mers attached. the right to use which we contro)
enabling the operator to turn any width of hem de-
sired.


There is no other Machine which will do so large
range ofwork as the Florence


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


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


1t will sew across the heaviest seams, or from one
to more hcknesses 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 the eyes, bent posture close
application, and fatiguing care, heretofore necessary
on a large proportion of work done on sewing ma
chimes, we now furnish each Machine with "Barnum's
SelfSewer" which guides the work ITSELF and is of
incalculable value, especially to inexperienced ope
rators.


While possessing the above, and many other ad-
vanages the Florence is sold at corresponding prices
with other frst-class machines.
