PANY’S IMPROVED SEWING MACHINES, manufac¬ 
tured at Watertown, Conn. Office and Warerooms, at 343 
Broadway, N. Y. 
These Machines have been in successful operation, in the 
hands of manufacturers and families, for the past two years, 
and in every case have given universal satisfaction. The 
Proprietors are now prepared to offer them to the public, with 
that increased confidence in their merits whicli the united 
testimony of their numerous customers has strengthened and 
confirmed. 
These Machines are entirely different from an v other, the 
principles on which they are made being exclusively our 
own. 
Among the advantages of this Machine over any others are 
the following: 
1. The simplicity of its construction, and the ease with 
which it can be kept in the most perfect order. 
2. The perfect manner with which the operator is enabled 
to stitch and sew the various kinds of work, from the finest 
linen to the coarsest cloths. 
3. It particularly excels in the rapidity witli which work 
can be executed; in that respect it has no equal. 
4. The littl epoiver required to propel them, enabling even 
those of the most delicate constitution to use them without 
injury to their health. 
We are now manufacturing a larger sized Machine, more 
particularly adapted to the sewing of leather, canvass bags, 
and the heavier kinds of cloths. 
An examination of our Machines is respectfully solicited 
at our Office, 343 Broadway. 37-19.
