First i Be not misled by long and extravagant puffs in the papers about Machines which arc frequently made only to sell, and more frequently sold by those who, from their want of mechanical know ledge, can only parrot-like repeat the puff. 2nd} Beware of purchasing a Sewing Machine because it happens to be a few shillings cheaper, and have afterwards to pay dearly for it in worry, delay, and vexation. The undersigned, from his intimate knowledge of SewiD<? Mechanism, can onfldently recommend Taylor's Patent Sewing Machine as a really good, genuine, and well tested Machine. In addition to the Lock-stitch Machine, the Taylor Co. have introduced a good Twisted Loop Machine. Price, with extras, 2 Guineas.—lnspection invited at the Sole Agent's, T.
