cient Knitting Machine yet Introduced.

Stitches, or 22 inches of Perfect

Any one who possesses a Bickford Knitting Machine can 
earn from $3 to $8 per day; for she may knit any thing or 
every thing that the most ingenious lady can knit or 
crochet, more nicely and easily, in one hundredth part of 
the time. Wool-growers and Farmers only realize -JO to GO 
cents per pound for wool ; but, by having it converted into 
yarn and knit Into socks or other goods, ft much larger profit 
may be obtained, as this brings the producer in direct con- 
tact with the consumer. Let Farmers' wives and daughters 
throughout the country, who long for move "pin money," 
think of this. No more useful and entertaining present can 
be made to a lady than one *>f these Machines. She will find 
it a never-failing source of pleasure and profit. Every 
Machine fa warranted to foe in perfect order, 
and to do just what is represented* 
We now have every thing in the most complete condition 
to manufacture this Machine, and have fitted an elegant 
store at 689 Broadway for head-quarters, where we arc 
ready to furnish Machines at retail, #r make the most liberal 
arrangements for their introduction, for which we want 
agents in every section of the country.
