LADIEsTI-AKE NOTE^OFTHIS :- Two important points should not be lost sight of in sele6ting a Sewing Machine. First i Be not misled by long and extravagant puffs in the papers abodt Machines which are frequently made only to sill, and more frequently sold by those who, from their want of mechanical know ledge, can only Iparrot-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 hie intimate knowledge of Sewiu<? Mechanism, can onfldently recommend Taylor's Patent Sewing Machine as a [really good, genuine, and well tested Machine.
