THE BICKFORD 
Family Knitting Machine. 
The Original and only Practical and Effi¬ 
cient Knitting Machine yet Introduced. 
Sets up its own Work, and Knits 20,000 
Stitches, or 22 inches of Perfect 
Work per Minute. 
PRICES PROM $25 TO $40. 
Any one who possesses a Bickford Knitting Machine can 
earn from $3 to $8 per day: for she may knit anything 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 40 to DO 
oents per pound for wool; but, by having it converted into 
yarn and knit into socks or other goods, a 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. more “ pin money,” 
think of this. No more useful and entertaining present can 
be made to a lady than one of these Machines. She will find 
it a never-failing source of pleasure and profit. Every 
JUachine is warranted <o Ibc in perfect order, 
and to do just what is represented. 
We now have every tiling in the most complete condition 
to manufacture this Machine, and have fitted an elegant 
store at 689 Broadway for head-quarters, where we are 
ready to furnish Machines at retail, or make the njost liberal 
arrangements for their introduction, for which we want 
agents in every section of tiie country.

THE GENUINE MASON FRUIT JAR,

PORCELAIN-LINED CAP. 
This well known, popular and reliable Jar, by the appli- 
- cation of the Porcelain Lining 
to the Cover, combines all the 
advantages of a 
GLASS TOP JASS, 
with the simplicity of its origi¬ 
nal method of fastening. 
Its great superiority to all 
others will be made evident

lowing reasons, viz.: 
SIMPLICITY in operation, 
and readiness with which 
it can be sealed. 
STRENGTH and DURA- 
BILITY. 
EASE with which it can be 
OPENED, and without 
risk of breaking either 
Jar or Cover.

OPINIONS OF THE MACHINE. 
“ It is the very best for apple curers 1 ever saw, and wor¬ 
thy of universal adoption.”— Horace Greeley. 
“It is a most excellent machine.”—Rural New Yorker. 
“ It does the work a hundred per cent better and nicer 
than the most careful human liana.”—Rock Island Argus. 
“ I have had one for 12 years, and consider it worth $10 a 
year to any one who has many apples. An Apple Parer is 
of no account compared to it.”— Timothy Bancroft (Farm¬ 
er), Worcester, Mass. 
‘‘We place it in the first rank, and they should he found 
in every house where the fruit itselt is found.”—Davenport 
Democrat. 
“ I have had one for 10 years, and have probably pared, 
cored, and sliced a thousand bushels of apples with it. I 
write to set another, and some for my neighbors.”—“ Farm¬ 
er,” writing from the State of New York. 
“They gave perfect satisfaction. It is the only machine I 
have ever used that makes the canning business a profitable 
business.”— John Wood, Conyers, Ga.
