of testimonials of delight from the recipients.

copy of Hearth and Home for six months, 
or one copy of the American Agriculturist for 
one year, to each person who purchases from 
us at the rates advertised—that is, $12 or $20-

simple braiding-foot lias been made, by which a child can 
sew on braid without the least trouble, following any de¬ 
sired pattern with ease ; also a new arm, spiral spring 
and lever for raising the presser-foot, all of which are 
now set in a position that leaves the needle free to be 
threaded. The joint is much enlarged, and the machine 
is otherwise greatly strengthened and improved. The 
use of tiie braider-foot alone will be valued more than 
the cost of the machine.

different-sized needles, etc... with full Printed Directions 
for using. On receipt of $13 we will send one of these
