TAYLOR'S PATENT LOOK STITCH SEWING MACHINES Are not, like many others, made up of parts of variou Machines and called by some fancy name, but are a thoroughly Genuine Article, being well and substan tially made TiittouonouT. In addition to my strong recommendation of them, founded on practical acquantance with Sewing Mechanism, I have much pleasure in stating that they are giving unbounded satisfaction to all who have purchased them. Prices : - Hand Machines, £5 ss; Stand Machines, £7 7s to £8 Ss. Agent :— T. PEACOCK, OPTICIAN, QUEEN STREET, NEAR TTTK P.AKK OF NEW ZEALAND THE "SINGER" TRIUMPHANT; nnHE following abstract is taken -«- from the Custom-house report of the Melbourne Journal of Commerce, shown g the import value of Sewing Machines imported by Victoria during the year 1572- from the two leading Sewing Machine Manufacturers in the world. The Machines imported from makers of less note are not taken into con sideration :—Stats-fobd and Co., Agents for the Singer " Manufacturing Company, 4719 cases, value £24,9.->:>; Long and Co , Agents for the Wheeler and Wilson Company, 1035 cases, value .-CSG4G ; showing difference in favor of the "dinger" Machine of 3054 cases, value £1G,309 This extraordinary success of the ' Singer" has been mainly achieved by the Company's "New Family" Machine, which is universally acknowledged to be the most simple to earn, the easiest to work, unequalled for strength and beauty of stitch, and the most complete and perfect m mechanism and accessories for every variety of Domestic Sewing and Embroidery. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS of the "SINGER"* MACHINES M. A. ALDRICH, Agent, Shortland street, Auckland. C. E. WILLIAMS, Managor. Sa W OTGr MIuITFFS MADE BY THE 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 bo better than any other, lhe task of selecting a Sewing Machine is therefore rather a difficult one, especially if the purchaser has no knowledge of machines, and has no other guide than the representation of various dealers Many people convinced of the advantage to be 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 pest. M a practical man and an Engineer allow me to point out some of the advantages of these Machines. They will do ali that any other Machine will and do it better, including Hemming, Quilting, .telling, Cording, Binding, Braiding. Stitching, &c, &c., with a perfect stitch alike on both sides. They are fitted with an improved break, 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 wiil run for years without costing a shilling for repairs. 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. Needles for various Machines, Oil, Cotton, and Extras. *** G. W, HBSLO'P. m _ ENGINEER, Km FmiNGgSnop, YvWis Law,
