GENERAL  FAVORITE 
Recently  perfected  and  offered  to  the  trade  by  the 
WEED  SEWING  MACHINE  COMPANY, 
Possess  many  advantages,  boUi  in  construction  aud  capacity, 
over  machines  now  in  use  by 
Tlie  Machines  made  by  this  Company  have  always  been  noted  for 
simplicity,  a  merit  which  has  been  preserved  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  Factories  running  by 
STEAM  POWER. 
Actual  WORK  is  the  only  test  of  a  sewing  machine.  The  Weed 
Co.,  desirous  of  thorough  investigation,  are  prejiared  to  place  these 
machines  on  trial,  feeling  contident  that  practical  work  will  convince 
intending  purcliasers  of  their  merit.  Manufacturers  will  please  examine 
if  our  claims  are  not  correctly  made  on  the  following  ])oints  : 
CONVENIENCE. 
The  large  space  under  the  arm.  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.  Eiisily  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  minimum,  and  for  foot  power  the  ease  of  working  is 
increased  to  a  wonderful  degree. 
DURABILITY. 
The  -wearing  jiarts  are  forged  and  hardened.  Lost  motion  can  be 
taken  up  with  a  screw-driver,  thus  saving  cost  of  new  parts,  and  time 
consumed  in  iitting  them.  The  shuttle  being  carried,  instead  of  driven, 
wears  much  longer,  and  skipping  of  stitches  is  avoided.  The  needle 
socket  is  hardened  and  so  constructed  that  a  needle,  when  broken  in  the 
bar,  can  be  readily  removed.  Address
