For the following reasons :
It is light running and noiseless;
It is simple and durable ;

Ii oarriea more thrtmd in bobbin thin any other machine ;
It winds the bobbin without running the machine or throwing the driving band ;
It does One and onaree work without changing the tension ;
Its woodwork is made on a plan patented by this company, the table lops being
made of seven thicknesses of wood, with the grain crossed so as to prevent split

Pause, Fonder and Peruse I!
The invention of that Fnperlor and Com
pile Sewing Machine (The Family s-twing
Machine), marks one ol the most important
eras in the history of machinery, and when
we consider it# great usefulness and extremely
low price ($25), it is very difficult to conceive
of any invention for domestic uta of more or
ev»n equal Importance to fatniliea. It has
grfat capacity for work; heiutiful, smooth,
and quiet movement, rapid execution, cer
tainty and delightful ease Of operation, that
at once commends it above all others. The
working parts are all steel, strong and dura
ble, and will last a lile time ; the bobbins
hold 100 yard 8 of thread ; the stitch is the
firmest ol all the stitches made, neat and regu
lar, and can be regulated in a moment to sew
stitches from a« inch in length on coarse ma
terial down to the finest, so infinitesimal as
to be hardly discernable with the naked eye,
and with a rapidity rendering it impossible
to count them as Castas made ; *t lim more at
tachments than any other, and it does to per
leuiiin all kinds ot heavy, coarse, plain, fine,
or fancy needle- vork with ease, and far less
labor than required on other machines. It
nreds no commendation, the rapid sales, in
creasing demand, and voluntary encomiums
frum the press, and the thousnnds of families
who use them, amply testify to their un
doubted worth as a standard and reliable
household necessity, extending its popularity
each day. Machines smt anywhere to be ex
amitied before an.) motley is paid. AOKNIX
