It is so simple iv construction that little 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 lor any kind of ordinary family work. It ia the lightest running machine made, and is nearly noiseless — features which no lady can afford to overlook in tho selection of a sewing machine. It is adapted to any kind of sowing, from the 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 ever attached to a sewing machine ; it being go constructed as to operote with perfect ease, and without fatigue to the most delicate lady. Its working parts are case-hardened iron or steel, and so constructed that the "lost motion " in all tho wearing parts from long and constant use can be taken up by tho simple turning of a screw. Its shuttle is self-threading, made of solid steel, and carries a larger bobbin than almost any other family sewing machine. The tension can bo changed without removing it from tho mnchine. It has more room under the arm than any other machine made, making it very desirable for dress- makers, seamstreaßes, tailors and others, who ,' often wish to carry the fabric under the arm without crushing it. It has a device by which the bobbins can be filled without running tho entire machine, thereby relieving it from wear for this purpose, as, also, relieving tho operator of tho necessity of removing the work or attachments, as is tho case in nearly all other machines. Ib has a double steol feed, or a feed on both sides of tho needle, which enables the operator to carry the fabric through either side of the needle, na may bo desirod. This feature, combined with tho large space under the arm, 13 found in no other maciino, and is nn advantage which should not be overlooked. A guarantee given with every machine.
