CASTERS FOR SEWING-MACHINES, 
Combination of Patents. 
All ladies using Sewing Machines, have experienced great annoyance and much hard work in mov- 
ing their machines from one part of the room to another for the purpose of getting better light, sweep- 
ing, etc., etc., and have wondered why somebody would not get up a Sewing Machine Caster. Every 
one has wanted them and waited for them, and now here they are. 
With a set of these Casters the machine is allowed to stand firmly on its feet (not on the Casters) 
while sewing; but by an ingenious, simple, and self-operating device, it is allowed to rest upon the 
Casters for moving about. 
Manufactured by SARCENT & CO., 70 Beekman St., New York. 
sold by Sewing Machine Agents Generally* 
C^ On receipt of $2, we will forward a set of these casters, express paid, to the nearest express station, to any address 
in the United States north of North Carolina and Tennessee and east of the Missouri River. 
Beyond this boundary, a special arrangement as to expressage will be necessary. ' 
When ordering, be sure to mention the name and particular style of machine for which Casters are wanted.
