SEWING- MACHINES MADE 11Y TIIE BRITANNIA COMPANY, COLCHESTER, ENGLAND, . combine the best parts of the best Machines (avoiding their defects) with some recent special improve ments, which no other Machine possesses. Every make of Machine however far removed from excellence, professes to be better than any other. The task of solecting a Sewing Machine is therefore rather a difficult ono, especially if the purchaser has no knowledge of liiachines, and has no other guide than tho representation of various dealers Many people convinced of the advantage to bo derived from using a Machine for needlework do not yet possess one because among so many they are unable to satisfy themselves as to which make is the best. As a practical man and an Engineer allow mo to point out some of the advantages of these Machines. They will do all that any other Machine will, and do it belter, including Hemming, Quilting, Felling. Cording, Binding, Braiding, Stitching, &c, &c , with a perfect stitch alike on both sides. They are fitted with an improved hreak, which prevents tho Machine turning the wrong way, and so entangling and breaking tlie thread. They make less noise than most Machines, and is the ne^ftst possible approach to noiseless. They are very simple, and will run for years without "costing a shilling for repairs. Every Machine is Warranted. Machines let out on hire, tlie payment for which goes towards the purchase. Machines of other makers taken in ex change. Repairs properly done. Needles for various Machines, Oil, Cotton, and Extras. G. W-.
