Sewing Machines. ■':-■ ■; <£~^s';** ■-::::■■_:- TAYLOR'S PATENT LOCK STITCH SEWING MACHINES Are, with confidence, recommended to the public not only as containing ImpoiWant Improvement*l, but also as being constructed throughout in the most substantial manner possible. They make the Lock-stitch by mean? of a shuttle working in an Klxijtic Dirhction in sucha position I that it is readily Accessible, at d where its action can be easily seen. This is acknowledged on all hands to be the most beautiful and noiseless Shuttle movement i ever invented. These Machines have obtained distinction at all the more recent competitions and have been awarded FIVE PRIZE MEDALS. Agext :— T. PEACOCK, OPTICIAN, Queen btkket, nkah tiik Bank or Nrw Zealand THE "SINGER" TRIUMPHANT. TH E following abstract is taken from the Custom-house report of the Melbourne Journal of Commerce, showirg the import value of Sewing Machines imported by Victoria during he year 1872 from the two leading Sewing Machine Manufacturers in the world. The Machines imported from makers of less note are not taken into con sideration :—Stanfobd and Co., Agente for the "Singer" Manufacturing Company, 4719 cases, valne £24,955 ; Long and Co , Agents for the Wheeler and "Wilson Company, 1635 cases, value £8040 ;-showing difference in favor of the " fcinger" Machine of 3084 cases, value £10,309. This extraordinary success of the "Singer." has been mainly achieved by the Company's "Ne-vv 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 in 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. Manager. SEWING- MACHINES MADE BY THE BRITANNIA COMPANY, i COLCHESTER, ENGLAND, j combine the best parts of the best Machines (avoiding I their defects) with some beoent special improve- i ments, which no other Machine possesses. Every make of Machine, however farfremoved from excellence, professes to be bettor 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 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 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, amJ do it better, including Hemming, Quilting, Felling, Cording, Binding, Braiding. Stitching, &c , &c, with a perfect stitch alike on both sides. They aro fitted with an improved break, which prevents the Machine turning the wrong way, and so i 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 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 dono.
