E. Clark's Revolving Looper
DOUBLE THREADED
FAMILY SEWING MACHINE
The Revolving Looper is a late improvement on Ray
mond's Latest Improved.)
Warranted the best in the world for Family Use !
Price Wilhiii the Reach of Every Family.
PRICE $35. .
Hemmer, Feller, Binder & Tucking guage, combined, $5.
TIIE reputation of this Machine is now fully establish
ed as the most reliable Machine t'n the market for
family use, and has been attested too by thousands of the
i most respectable families in the Uuion.
This Machine makes the celebrated " Double Lock
Stitch," the only one made by 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 neeules to adopt it to the character of the
■ work to be sewed—coarse or fine as the case may be. It
i will sew gauze laces, and all varieties and kinds of fab
-1 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
1 much.
s A perfect Sewing Machine, one making a stitch nn
' sweriug all the requirements of the family, sewing coarse
- and fine work equally well, was the great desideratum of
1 the home circle, previous to the invention of EDWIN
• CLANK'S REVOLVING LOOPER. The stitch is beautiful,
trong, and elastic, and xeill not rip in wear or in acci
■ dental breaking a thread.
i Every Machine is warranted to give satisfaction or the
an icy refunded.
We have a large list of references bnt will give the
names of ouly a few :

"To he, or not to be— Int is the question !
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous opposition.
Or by taking up arms against a sea of printing ink,
And opposing, end them."
J proprietor of the Argus takes o ension in adver
I tising iiis Bindery to indulge in an uncalled :->r fling
i about n " sort of a concern." which is hoping " to di-bule
the public." As 1 have opened a Bindery on my own ac
count, the inference Is that if the public bring their
binding to nie, they are in no danger of being defrauded.
For two years I have worked for Mr. PARSONS, and he
ha" taken great pains t s itisfv the public I was the •' test

connected with Normal training.
Those persons, therefore, intending to engage in teach
