The  Machines  made  by  this  Company  have  alAtays  been  noted  tbs 
simplicity,  a  merit  which  has  been  preservetl  in  this  new  style  and  com¬ 
bined  with  great  strength,  especial  care  having  been  taken  to  provide 
against  the  wear  and  tear  of  use  in  P^ictories  running  by 
STEAM  POWER. 
Actual  WORK  is  the  only  test  of  a  sewing  machine.  The  Weed 
Co.,  desirous  of  thorough  investigation,  are  prepared  to  place  these 
machines  on  trial,  feeling  confident  that  practical  work  will  convince 
intending  purchasers  of  their  merit.  Manufacturers  will  jilease  examine 
if  our  claims  are  not  correctly  made  on  the  following  points  : 
CONVENIENCE. 
The  large  space  under  the  aim.  From  needle  to  foot  of  arm,  9 
inches ;  from  needle  to  bend  of  arm,  1 1  inches ;  from  bed  to  bottom  of 
arm,  5  inches.  Easily  oiled,  threaded  and  cleaned. 
SIMPLICITY. 
No  cams  or  cogs  are  used,  a  continuous  circular  motion,  preventing 
vibration,  and  rendering  a  high  rate  of  speed  possible,  while  noise  is 
reduced  to  the  minimuin,  and  for  foot  power  the  ease  of  working  is 
increased  to  a  wonderful  degree. 
DURABILITY. 
Tho  wearing  parts  are  forged  and  hardened.  T.ost  motion  can  be 
taken  up  with  a  screw-driver,  thus  saving  cost  of  new  parts,  and  time 
consumed  in  fitting  them.  The  shuttle  Ixfing  carrieil,  instead  of  driven, 
wears  much  longer,  and  skijiping  of  stitches  i.s  fivoided.  The  needle 
socket  is  hardened  and  so  constructed  that  a  needle,  when  broken  in  the 
bar,  can  be  readily  removed.  Address
