WITH ATTACHMENTS For All Kinds of Work, is f st winning favor in the household, as shown by the rapidly iner rising sales. iiiiti New Family Machine is capa ble of a range and variety 01 worn suon as was once thought impossible to perform by maehinerv. We claim and can show that it is the cheape t, most beautiful, delicately arranged, nicely Adjusted, easily operated, aril smoothly running of all the family sewing machines. It is remarkable, not only for the range and variety of its sew ing, but also for the variety and different kinds of texture wbicn it will sew with equ.-G fi.cility 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 of stitch , and, in a moment, this willing and never wearying inst alment may be adjusted for fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or the tucking of tailatan, or ruffling, or al most any other work which delicate fingers have been known to 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 equal, for family sewing to our Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing purposes. But purchasers—and they are apt to examine carefully before choosing have not been merely persuaded, but con vinced that our new family” acliine embod ies new and essential principles—simplicity of construction ; case of operation ; uni fornuty of precise action at any speed; ca pacity for range and variety of work,’ fine or coarse - leaving all rivals be.and it.

It may be further stated that the sales of 1875, as compared with the sale of 1872, show a relatively large increas* beyond the sales of other makers. For instance, in 1872 wc sold 45.000 more machines than any other company ; whereas, in 1873, the sales were 13.1,254 Machines in Excess <f (T;r Highest Competitor.
