. r pHF, reputation of this Machine is now fully establish-
X edaathe most rtliablt Machine in the market for
! family use, and has been attested too by thousands of the
most respectable families in the Union,
j This Machine makes the celebrated " Double look
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-
I plicity, requiring 110 mechanical skill to manage it, nor
' does it require adjustment more than the mere change of
e thread and needles to adopt it to ihe character of the
~ work to be sewed—coarse or fiue as the case may be. It
[1 will sew gauze laces, and all varieties and kinds of fab
; rics between and including heavy beaver cloth, without
J! changing either needles or thread equally well, and re
turn to either variety of work with perfect satisfaction,
d No other Machine ever offered to the public will do as
8 much.
y A perfect Sewing Machine, one making a stitch an
' swenng all the requirements of the family. sewing coarse
IJ and tine work equally well, was the great desideratum of
1. the home circle, previous to the invention of EDWIX
CLARK'S REVOLVING LOOPER. The stitch is beautiful,
.. troog, and elastic, and will not rip in wear or in aeci
j dental breaking a thread.
Every Machine is warranted to give satisfaction or the
money refunded.
