Beckwith Sewing Machine 
COMPANY. 
We are happy to assure our numerous 
patrons, who have so long patiently waited to 
receive our Portable Family Machine, that 
we are now on the eve of “receiving a full sup¬ 
ply, when we will be able to furnish them with 
as perfect a machine as mechanical skill and 
money can produce. Our long delay has been 
quite unexpected, and yet could not possibly be 
avoided. The careful adjustment of the multi¬ 
plicity of so many special tools and machinery 
to the accomplishment of one idea is a matter 
that requires much labor and care; but once 
accomplished, as it now is, all can rely upon 
the adaptation of all the parts to the most'exact 
accomplishment of its “end and aim.” 
We are now receiving the $20 machines, 
which are at once sent to our patrons, all of 
whom shall be supplied at as early a day as 
possible. 
The time is near at hand when the great 
masses who are waiting for just such a machine 
can be promptly supplied. Our facilities are 
the most ample, while our aim is to furnish all 
with the most desirable Sewing Machine ever 
produced, at less than one-third the usual price 
—a machine that all can use with ease, from a 
child to her enfeebled grandmother. 
For full particulars, please send for Circulars 
and Samples of work done on the Machine.
