W DE VANISH ME ABES. General Manager TSPHE NEW WHITE HORIZONTALJL FEED SEWING MACHINE. The Latest ImpobtAtion— lts Stjeekiob Advantages. It is so simple in construction that little or no instruction is required to become proficient in its ÜBe. A child can use it. It has a selfsetting needle. Its upper tension is easily controlled, and .fter being onco regulated, is automatic, rei liring no chango for any kind of ordinary fu:nily work. Itis the lightest running machine made, and is nearly noiseless — features which no lady can afford to overlook in the eelection of a sewing machine. It is adapted to any kind of sewing, from the lightest muslin and Bilk to tho 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 so 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 bo constructed that the "lost motion " in all tho wearing parts from long and constant use can be taken up by the simple turning of a screw. Its shuttle is self-threading, made of solid steel, and carries a larger bobbin than almost any other family eewing machine. The tension can be changed without removing it from the machine. It has more loom under the arm than any other machine made, making it very desirable for dress- makers, seamstresses, 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, thoreby relieving it from wear for this purpose, as, also, relieving the operator of tho necessity of removing tho work or attachments, as is the case in nearly all other machines. It has a double steel feed, or a feed on both sides of the needle, which enables the operator to carry the fabric through cither side of the needle, as may be desired. This feature, combined with the large space under the arm, ia found in no other machine, and is en advantage which should not bo overlooked, A guarantee given with every machine.
