FASCINATION
Have jeu ever experienced the delight of effortless sewing,
and while you pressed your feet slightly en the controller, watched
the fabric glide magically bencnth the needle?
Have you known the joy of silent sewing, se iwisclcs3 that
ene could read aloud te you while you sew?
That is what the Electric Automatic docs for you, and there is
no bobbin te run out in the midst of the seam. There is no tension
te adjust for it automatically adjusts itself, while the seam it
makes is unexcelled in beauty and strength.
Yeu can sew upstairs or down, or en the perch, for it is
PORTABLE. It can be carried with ene hand.
It is the result of sixty years' experience, and is the Willcox &
Gibbs Sewing Machine Company's Intcst gift te womanhood.
