Every make of Machine, however far removed from excellence), professes to be better than any other. Tho task of selecting a Sewing Machine is therefore rather a rlifllcult.one, especially if tho 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 or.o 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 ma to point out some of tho advantages of these Machines. Thov will do all that any other Machine will, and dn it better, including Hemming. Quilting, Felling, Cording, Binding, Braiding. Stitching, &c, &c , with a perfect stitch alike on both sides. They arc fitted with an improved break, which prevents the Machine turning tho wrong way, and so entangling and broaking the thread. They make less noise than most Machines, and is tho nearest possible approach to noiseless. They are very simp'c, and will run for years without costing a shilling for repairs.
