The Patent Elliptic Shuttle Movement of this Machine is acknowledged on all hands the QuieteEt, Simplest, and most beauti ful motion ever invented for the purpose. New and Valuable Improvements have also been added amongst others, a New Patent Shuttle, with only one hole to ;thread, and having its tension adjustable in the easiest manner possible on the outside. Besides this, it is much larger and holds considerably more cotton than those of any of the leading Maohines in use. This, with other improvements (which the public are invited to inspect), togf'lier with the substantial con struction for which thid Machine has always been celebrated, make Taylor's Patent the most thoroughly Genuine and Reliable Machine in the market.
