No. 81. ** Saratoga" IPotato Peeler 
and Slicer, — {See Engraving.) — All the above 
machines are most useful in evcryhousehold \vho3 eapples, 
cherries, and pOi;Uoc3 ai.i to be 
cared for. Main^rntiurtid by the 
GooDELL Cv>., Aiitrim,N. H. V\q 
have never eeen the work for 
which these mnehines were con- 
trived, more rapidly or better 
done, than theij will do it. The 
Apples are pared, cored, and sliced 
with the greatest facility, and the 
Cherries are readily relieved of 
their stones, leaving the fruit in 
good shape. The "Bay State 
Parer and Slicer^has a new at- 
tachment to the Knife Head which 
cuts the Apple into slices, and 
places tlicm at one side in a :Iish 
on the table. The "Saratoga" 
slices and peels the pota'.o at one 
operation, and is a very ingenious 
and useful contrivance. ^^Only 
three subscribers, at gl.GO oncli, 
arc required to get any one of the 
above, except No. 80. which re- 
quires four. For sixteen sub- 
scribers at $1.60 each, we will send the ivlioleot them 
fre£, delivery unpaid. [Or we will supply any one of 
them nt the price named (sec Table).] Receiver to pay

No. 82.— Ileminp;tom Se^vina: Ma- 
chine.— Price reduced f>20.— " J. good Sewing 
Machine lightens the labor, and pro?notes the health and 
happiness of those at home.''' Any good sewiug macliine 
is a great treasin'e in any household ; we would as soon 
think of abolishing the plow, and digging up the fields 
with a spade, as of being without a sewing machine. Upon 
the mother's health, vigor, and serenity, largely depend 
the child's health, vigor, and success in life, as well as 
his moral character. The everlasting "stitch, stitch, 
stitch," the bonding over the work, the loss of sleep, and 
the lack of right exercise have brought tens of thou- 
sands to early graves, and seriously injured the health of 
millions upon millions. Reckoned in dollars, a sewing 
machine pays largely. If one cost $500 even, the interest 
on that, less taxes, would be about $32. The total sew- 
ing in most families is equal to at least 4 months of 
steady hand-sewing. If hired, this would cost, board in- 
cluded, $.1 to $10 per week, or $85 to $170 a year, thrcc- 
fourtba of which would be saved by using a sewing ma- 
chine that will work at least 4 times aefast. (cutting, 
basting, etc., included) ; or a saving of ?50 to $100, or 
more, each year. We say to evei'y man, Get your wife a 
Good Sewing Machine, even if you have to sell a favorite 
horse, or an acre or two of laud— get the sewing machine 
any way. If you can get a machine through our premium 
list, and thus save the cash it would cost, well— but get 
the machine, (^lultitudes have obtained them free 
through our premiums by collecting subscribers on rainy 
days and evenings. Almost any man or woman can readily 
do this. The premium list maybe collected in your own 
neighborhood and elsewhere.) We offer one of the best of 
the leading machines, one which has been thoroughly 
tested and gives entire satisfaction. While all of the high- 
cost machines are valuable, each has some excellence pe- 
culiar to itself. The Remington Family Seiviiig; 
ITEacliine has sprung rapidly into favor, as possessing 
the best combination of good qualities, namely: light 
running, smooth, noiseless, rapid, durable, with perfect 
Premium 83 
Lock Stitch. It is a Shuttle Machine, with Automatic 
Drop Feed. Its use is very readily acquired; it may be 
run at very high rate of speed: it is very durable; in con- 
struction it is of the best, and in design it is beautiful. 
—No charge for boxing the machines. They go safely 
as freight. Sending us 66 subscribers at $1.C0 each will 
secure one /?'ee. For free circulars, giving full descrip- 
tions of our Premium Machines, write by letter or postal 
to the Remington SetTing Macliine Co., 
Iliou,N. Y., or to No. 283 Broadway, New York City. 
]\o. 83, — "Family Scales. — These scales, 
combining the advantages of counter and platform scales, 
are peculiarly adapt- 
ed to household pur- 
poses. {See Engrav- 
ing.) They weigh 
from J ounce up to 
240 lbs. They have a 
scoop, or pan, for 
weighing flour.sugar, 
or other house stores, 
and a plaffoiin for 
heavier articles, and 
are just such an apparatus as is needed for in-door orout- 
door use, occupying less than 2 feet square. These 
scales are manufactured by the well-known Fairbakks 
& Co., No. 311 Broadway, New York, whose weighing 
fijjpnratus has long ranked as the standard in all parts 
of the country. Send to them for circulars, if desired. 
Send us 21 subscribers, at $1.60 each, and get these fine 
Scales free. — [We will also supply these scales on re- 
ceipt of the price, $14.00.] Receiver to pay cspressage. 
IVo. 81.— XTniversal Clo^lses "Wring- 
er. — {See Engraving) — A very usfiful^ time-saving, 
strength-saving^ clothes-saving implement, that should 
be in everij family. Here is a thing that is oi great \ii\\\c, 
" and no mistake about it." It will pay for itself several 
times a year in any family. The wringing out of clothes 
by hand is hard upon the hands, arms, and chest, and the 
twisting stretches and breaks the fibers with lever power. 
With this Wringing Machine, tlie garments are passed 
r.apidly between elastic rollers, which press the water 
out better tlian band wringing, and as fast as one can 
pick up the articles. A most important feature of this 
Premium 83 v-v::5^ 
Universal Clothes Wringer is the peculiar coff'-w^eeZ ar- 
rangement, which makes both rollers turn together, 
and always keep their place. Without tliese, the crank- 
roller will slip, and pull the fibers, and injure the fa- 
bric. A multitude of letters of thanks for these Ma- 
chines, given by us as Premiums, Iiave been received. It 
is easy to gather at tlie regular rate of $1.60 each, the 
16 subscribers, and this will secure B. present oi one of 
these very valuable $3.00 Universal Wringers. They 
are made by tiie Metropolitan Washing Machine Co., 
Middlefield, Ct. R. C. Browning. 32 Cortlandt St., N. Y. 
[We will supply one of these valuable machines on re- 
ceipt of the price, ^S.OO]. Receiver to pay expressage, 
No. 85.— The Crreat dictionary.— 
Worcester's LiBGE Pictorial Unabridqed Edition. 
containing 1854 three-column pages, with a 
multitude of illustrative engravings. (The work is a 
large quarto volume.) Most of the thoroughly educated 
men of the country consider this as by far the best Dic- 
tionary in the English Language. It gives the spelling 
and pronunciation of every word in the language with 
full explanations, and as a source of general information 
stands next to f Cyclopaedia. The Dictionary can bo 
called for at our oiBcc, or be sent anywhere by express 
or otherwise. It shoidd be in every family. Let a mul- 
titude of Boys, and Young Men, each get 18 subscribers, 
at $1-60 each, and each secure this invaluable work. A , 
great many have done so In the past. It is worth trying all 
winter, to get and own it ; but you can probably get sub- 
scribers enough this month to obtain it fj'ce. It is pnb- 
lished by Messrs. J. B. Lippincott & Co., Philadelpt'i.
