Price Within the Reach f Every Family. I'RICE $35. Hemmer, Feller, Binder & Tucking gnage, combined, $5. rip HE reputation of this Machine is now fully establish -1 id as the moat reliable Machine in the market for family use, and has been attested too by thousands of the i most respectable families in the Union. 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 stiteli 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 fine as the case may tie. It will sew gauze lares, and all varieties and kinds of fab rics between and including heavy beaver cloth, without I changing either needles or thread equally well, and ro -1 turn to either variety of work with perfect satisfaction, j No other Machine ever offered to the public will do as ; much. j A perfect Sewing Machine, one making a stitch an swering all the requirements of the family, sewing coarse . | and tine work equally well, was the great desideratum of the home circle, previous to the invention of EDWIN I CLARK'S REVOLVING LOOPER. The stitch is beautiful, i trong, and .elastic, and icilt not rip in wear or in acci , j dental breaking a thread. j Every Machine is warranted to give satisfaction or the . j mi ner refunded.
