Clark's Revolving Looper DOUBLE THREADED FAMILY SEWING MACHINE The Revolving Looper is a late iinprovemeut on Ray mond's Latest Improved.) Warranted the best in tlie world for Family Use ! Price Within the Reach of Every Family. TRICE $35. Hemmer, Feller, Cinder A Tacking guage, combined, $5. rpHE reputation of this Machine is now fully eslablish- J edasthe most reliable Machine in the "market for family use, and has been attested too by thousands of the most respectable families in the Union. This Machine makes the celebrated " Double Lock Stitch," the ouly one made hy machinery that meets all the requirements of Family Sewing. Each stitch is tied twice, so that every one is securely fastened and wholly independent of all the other stitches for strength, so that if the seam is cut or every fourth stitch broken, the sew ing must hold good while the fabric will wear. The machinery which makes this stitch is a marvel of sim plicity, requiring no mechanical skill to manage it, nor does it require adjustment more than the mere change of thread and needles to adopt it to the character of the work to be sewed—coarse or tine as the case may lie. It will sew gauze laces, and all varieties and kinds of fab rics between and including heavy beaver cloth, without changing either needles or thread equally well, and re turn to either variety of work with perfect satisfaction. No other Machine ever offered to the public will do as much. A perfect Sewing Machine, one making a stitch an i sweriug all the requirements of the family, sewing coarse j and line*work equally well, was the great desideratum of ! the home circle, previous to the invention of EDWIN CLARK'S REVOLVING LOOTER. The stitch is beautiful, troug, and elastic, and will not rip in wear or in acci dental breaking a thread. Every Machine is warranted to give satisfaction or the money refunded.

Or by taking up arms against a sea oi printing ink, And opposing, end them." rpiiK proprietor of the Argus takes occasion in adver 1 ti-ing his Bindery to indulge in an uncalled for tling abottl a " sort of a concern," which is hoping " to delude the public." As 1 have opened a Bindery on mv own ac count, tlie inference is that if the public bring their binding to me, they are in no danger of being defrauded. For two years 1 have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and he has taken great pains t s itisfy the public i was the " best Binder in America," as the columns of the Argus will testify. Has he been all that tiire " deluding the pub lic ?" If I have been engaged in a fraud, he has been the principal. But 1 refer to my work during that time as evidence that there ha- been no fraud practiced. Having served a long apprenticeship at the Bindery business, 1 have resumed bu-iness here on my owu ai - count,as 1 know of nothing which prevent- me from fol lowing a legitimate and buwftil calling for my support.— j I shall endeavor by good work and attention to my bu-i uessto give public satisfaction.
