Every make of Machine, however far removed from excellence, pr< fosses to be better than any other The task of selecting a Rowing Machine is thevoforo rather a difficult one, especially if the purchaser has no knowledge of machines, and has no other guide than She representation of various dealers Many poop'c convinced of tho advantage to be derived from using a Machine for needlework do not yet possess or.c bocauso among bo 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 tho advantages of thr.se Machines. They will do all that any other Machine will, and do it better, including Hemming. Quilting, Felling, Cording, Binding, Braiding, Stitching, &<;., tt-c , with a perfect stitch alike on both sides. They are fitted with an istrKOVKD BIVEAK, which prevents the Machine turning the wrong way, and so entangling and breaking the thread. They make less noise than most Machines, and is the nearest possible approach to noiseless. They are very simple, and will run for years without costing a shilling far lepairs. Every Machine is Warranted. Machines let out on hire, the payment for which goes towards the purchase. Machines of other makers taken in ex change. Repairs properly done.

Reasons Why DOWNER'S KEROSENE OIL Shouldi be used by Consumers in preference to any • line Petroleum Oil. Ist. Tt is safe, having a lire test of never less than 125" b'ahrculicit. 2nd. Tt is finished by distillation, without treatment ■ with aci'ls ar:.l alkalies as tho last process. It is double distilled for the purpose of removing the acids and alkalies useil in the manufacture of all Petroleuml Oils, but which cannot be removed except by their process, 3rd. The Downer Oil being chemically pure, burns j with raoro brilliancy of flame; consuming less oil fora ' given amount of light. It sives less trouble, because j tho Lamps require less freruent filling, and the wick . less frequent trimming. 4th. Although tho Downer Oil costs moro per gallon than other oils, it is, in tho end, cheaper for the con sumer, because it gives a greater amount of light with consumption of oil, Your grocer may tell you he has on sale an oil in uality equal to Downer Oil. Don't believe this story. Downer Oil is quoted and known all over the world as the highest standard brand. This reputation has | been achieved by its having been made by a better process and more costly than others, which process i has been adhered to from the beginning, without re I gard to expense. j ttST N.B.— DOWNER'S KEROSENE is THE ONLY'BRAND ThatJ will/give [entire], satisfaction in the Anucapnic *."..
