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 Within the Reach of Every Family. PRICE $37. nemmer, Feller, Binder A Tucking guage, combined, $5. THE reputation of this Machine is now fully establish ed as the most reliable Xfaciiine in the market for family use, and haß been attested too by thousands of the 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 stitch is a marvel of sim plicity, requiring no mechanical :-kill 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 will sew gauze luces, 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 tierfcct ®ewing Xrachine, one making a stitch an swering all the requirements of the family.sewing coarse and fine work equally well, was the great desideratum of the home circle, previous to the invention of EDWIN CLARK'S Revolving The stitch is beautiful, trong. and elastic, and will not rip in tcear or in acci dental breaking a thread. Every Machine is warranted to give satisfaction or the money refunded. We have a large list of references but will give the names of only a lew : XIOVKOLTON, Pa., Feb. 27,1800. Xfr. R. F.
