WITH ATTACHMENTS For All Kinds of Work. is f st winning favor in the household, as shown by the rapidly increasing sales. This Mew Family Machine is capa ble of a range and variety' of* work such as was ouco thought impossible to perform by machinery. We claim and can show that it is t ie cheapo t, most, beautiful, delicately arranged, nicely a ljusted, easily operated, and smoothly running of all the family sewing machines. Jt is remarkable, not only io the lunge ami variety of its sew ing, but also for the variety and thff. rent kinds ot texture w'.icn it will sew with equal t; cilily and perfection, using silk twist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or coarse, making the inter elastic lock stitch, alike on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus, beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with great strength and uniformity ot stitch, and, in a moment, this willing and never wearying inst ument may be adjusted for fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or the tucking of tarlatan, or ruffling, or al most any other work which delicate fingers have been known io perform. Ours having long been t he popular and practical machines for manufacturing pur poses, some dealers, using ‘-the tricks of trade.” take advantage of this in trying to persuade purchasers that our Family Ma chine is not ,-qu .l, for family sewing to our Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing purposes But purchasers—and they are apt to examine carefully before choosing— have not been n ei-oiv persuaded, but con vinced thatour m;w family acliine embod ies xew and essential principles—simplicity of construction ; ease *of operation ; uni formity of precise action at any speed; ca pacity for range and variety of work, fine or coarse - leaving all rivals be ind it.
