The public are invited to inspect the premises and factory, where all the branches in the trade are carried on. SEWING- MACHINES 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, i Every make of Machine, however far removed from excellence, professes to be better than any other The task of seleoting 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 peop'e 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 best. As a practical man and an Engineer allow ma to point out some of the advantages of these Machines. They will do all that any other Machine will, and do it better, including Hemming, Quilting, Felling, Cording, Binding, Braiding. Stitching, &c, &c , with a perfect stitch alike on both sides. They are fitted with an improved break, which prevents tho Machine turning the wrong way, and so entangling and breaking the thread. They m,ake less noise than most Machines, and is the nearest possible ai.proach 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, tho payment for which goes towards the purchase. Machines of other makers taken in ex change. Repairs properly done.
