 and roughly built machines which are being advertised 

 at almost any price the purchaser is willing to pay. But

The Material— This machine is made of the 

 very best material. The finest steel is used for all 

 parts except those where experience has shown that 

 some other material will give better results. 



The Head allows a space of 7^2x5% inches — 

 ample for all kinds of family sewing. 



TfaeShttttle is a hardened steel cylinder open 

 at both ends, and is entirely Self-Threading. 

 The bobbin is long and holds a large quantity of 

 thread and can be wound without running the sew- 

 ing parts of the machine.

 der of simplicity and smoothness. 



The stitch I^egUlator is on the side arm,

 the inch. 



The Upper Tensiotl is simple and easily 

 regulated. Has quick tension release for use in re- 

 moving goods. The machine is entirely self-thread- 

 ing. No holes to pass the thread through except 

 the eye of the needle. 



The Presser Foot is used in an attachment 

 holder, and the foot-piece only is taken off when 

 attachments are used. All attachments have a foot- 

 piece to correspond, so they can be readily placed 

 in the holder. 



The Feed is the simplest on the market. The double 

 feed surface extends on both sides of the needle and insures 

 uniform feeding. 



The Stand is built to last and made of the best material. 

 Case-hardened cone bearings, so that all lost motion is 

 readily taken up. Large and heavy balance wheel, insuring 

 light and steady running. The iron nicely finished in black 

 enamel and provided with nickel casters. 



The Woodwork is made of carefully selected and well 

 seasoned oak, with oil-rubbed finish, which remains bright 

 and new for an indefinite period.
