THE WILLIAMS, Made of the very best English steel, has been made and sold
throughout continental Europe for the past twenty-five years. Nearly t*o million now

their working, bnt are handsomer, and greatly superior in material and finish. All tho
above machines are first-class, and are warranted for the term of five years.
WILL SELL TO BE PAID FOR NEXT FALL.
Lay aside prejudice, do not select a machine merely because your mother or yowr
neighbor has it, and likes it. This is an age of thought and improvement, and you
should avail yourself wf the progress when it is in your power. Do not buy a machine
because it has been a long time ou the market, and publishes a large number of sales,
most of them have little merit now, and what they did have vanishes, when they are
compared with later and improved machines Machine needles for all
