THE NEW WHITE HOSIZONTALFEED BEWING MAOHINE. TnE Latest Isipobtation — Its Sui-ekiob Advantages. It is so Bimple in construction that littlo or no instruction is required to become proficient in its use. A child can use it. It has a selfsetting needle. Its upper tension is easily controlled, and after being once regulated, is automatic, requiring no change for any kind of ordinary family work. It is the lightest running machine made, and is nearly noiseless— features whioh no lady can afford to overlook in tho selection of a sewing machine. It is adapted to any kind of sewing, from fcho lightest muslin and silk to the heaviest woollen or cotton goods, and guaranteed to execute any kind of work ever wanted in a family. It has the best treadle evor attached to a 6ewing machino ; it being so constructed aB to operote with perfect ease, and without fatigue to tho mo3t delicalo lady. Its working parts are case-hardened iron or steel, and co constructed thnt tho " lost motion" in all tha wearing parts from long and constant use can bo takon up by the ample turning of a screw. Its shuttle is self-threading, made of solid steel, and carries a larger bobbin than almost uny ofcher family sewing machine. The tension can bo changed without removing it from the machino. It has moro room under the arm than any other machine made, making it very desirable for dress ■ makers, seamstresses, tailors and others, who] often wish to carry tho fabric under the arm without crushing it. It has a device by which the bobbins can be filled without running the entire machine, thereby relieving it from wear for this purpose, as, also, relieving the operator of the necessity of removing the work or attachments, as is the caso in nearly all other machines. Ifc has a double steel feed, or a feed on both sides of the needle, which enables tho operator to carry the fabric through either sido of the needle, as may bo desired. This feature, combined with the large Hpaco under the arm, is found in no other machine, and is an advantage which should not bo overlooked. A guarantee given with overy machine.
