THE BICKFORD FAMILY KNITTING MACHINE. 
Santa Crcz, California, > 
April 15th, is?:. ) 
Dana Bickford, Esq.— Sir ; The Machine 
is giving the greatest satisfaction. Every 
one i3 highly pleased with the beautiful 
work made upon it. There are two families 
here who will send for two Nos. 3— like this 
one— as soon as possible. 
Very respectfully yours, 
Mrs. KATE HOUSE. 
TVestport, Ct. 
Dana Bickford, Esq.— Sir : I have used 
one of your machines only five weeks ; yet 
five weeks is long enough to convince me 
that it should find a place in every house- 
hold in the land, both old and young finding 
unending enjoyment in its use. Knitling- 
work la very well for the grandmothers to 
pass away the twilight hours with, hut a 
machine such as you invented reduces the 
time of fabricating articles to moments, 
instead of hours, and also puts in the power 
of any person, male or female, the means to 
earn a livelihood. 
You are at liberty to use the above as you 
wish. 
I am very respectfully yours, 
E. B. ADAMS, JR. 
The recent improvements on tUis machine 
make it one of the most perfect pieces of 
mechanism in the world. Every house- 
keeper in the country should see it, and 
judge for themselves, since it is now guaran- 
teed to meet every need of thehou3ehold. 
Any machine at this price that will knit 
20,003 stitches, or 3b inches perfect work, per 
minute— either in flat web, hollow tube, or 
circular form, iu any plain or fancy stitch 
that can be done by hand— will certainly be 
found more useful and convenient in a family 
than a sewing-machine can possibly be. It 
is very simple in its operation, and knits any 
kind of yarn, cotton, linen, silk, or woolen, 
in plain or fancy stitch of Knitted, Crochet, 
or Afghan work. 
Price $25 to $75.
