Me M A S T E E, 242, QUEEN STREET, OPPOSITE THE NEW MARKET. Sewing Machines. SEWING- MACHINES MADE BY THE BRITANNIA COMPANY, COLCHESTER, ENGLAND, combine tho best parts of the best Machines (avoiding their defects) with some rkoent 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 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 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 tho 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 better, including Hemming, Quilting, Felling, Cording, Binding, Braiding. Stitching, ftc, &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 tho nearest 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, tho payment for which goes towards tho purchase. Machines of other makers taken in ex chango. Repairs properly done. Needles for various Machines, Oil, Cotton, and Extras. G. W. HESLOP, ENGINEER, The PrrTiua Shop, Vttlcan Lanb. 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 tiikouuhout. 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.
