Beckwith 
Sewing Machine 
ONLY $20. 
We have offered as a Premium, and also for sale, for 
more than a year past, the Beckwitli Sewing 
Machine, which has been fully described ia previous 
numbers of this paper. We have already £iven and sold 
more than one thousand of these machines, and testi- 
monials of satisfaction have come from every quarter. 
The Beckwitli Sewing Machine Company has from 
time to time added improvements to their original Ma- 
chines, which have been sold for $19. They now manu- 
facture only 
THE BECKWITH PORTABLE 
FAMILY SEWING MACHINE. 
PRICE 820. 
Enlarged and Improved. Its Weight is 7 Pounds. 
PORTABLE FAMILY MACHINE. 
A new and very simple braiding-foot has been made, 
by which a child can sew on braid without the least 
trouble, following any desired pattern with ease ; also a 
new arm, spiral spring and lever for raising the presser- 
foot, all of which are now set in a position that leaves 
the needle free to be threaded. The joint is much en- 
larged, and the machine is otherwise greatly strengthen- 
ed and improved. The use of the braider-foot alone will 
be valued more than the cost of the machine. 
The $3© Portable Family Machine 
Comprises all the excellencies of the former machines, 
with many valuable improvements. Its size and power are 
increased, and its capacity thus very much enlarged, without 
impairing its portability. There have been added cam and 
eccentric movement, a balance-wheel, and also an oscillat- 
ing needle-clamp, by which the length of stitch can with the 
greatest ease be etianged to the finest shade of variation 
without touching the needle. 
Each of these machines is put in a neat, compact 
box, with hemmer and guide, oil-can with oil, thread, 
different-sized needles, etc., with full Printed Directions 
for using. 
To any one sending us $20, we will send one of the Machines 
(packed in a neat, portable case, with handle to carry it 
easily), expressage to be paid by purchaser. 
Xhe Machine as a Premium. 
We will give one of these $30" machines to 
any one who will collect and forward to us 
Thirty Subscribers to American Agriculturist

paid by the recipient of it.
