Rolled Plate Gold Watch Chains. 
Not many years ago a man who wanted a gold watch- 
chain was obliged to buy one that was made entirely of 
gold, but as improvements came 
in, watch-chains were made with 
a heavy plate of gold on the 
outside, so that now one is 
obliged to pay for only what 
shows on the outside. There 
are many kinds of chains in the 
market, and we have selected 
two of the most desirable. They 
are 14k. rolled plate, and will 
wear for years if properly cared 
for. They are gold soldered, 
which is a great advantage in 
chains of this class. Price for 
No. 1, $1 50, post paid (usual 
price $2.50 and more); or given 
for one new subscription at 82. 
Price of No. 2, $2 50 (usual price 
$3.50 aud more); or given for

This machine is

type, and is

For mauy years people justly complained of the burden 
imposed by a monopoly in prices on sewing machines. 
Patents have now expired, and we get an idea of the won¬ 
derful profits formerly made by the manufacturers. The 
old manufacturers still attempt to say that new machines 
are “ bogus ” and poor imitations. This is all nonsense. 
We have no hesitation in saying that the machine we 
offer is as well made as any before the public. It is a “ high 
arm” machine, with nickel platings, drop leaf walnut 
table, four drawers, also ruffler, tucker, hemmers and the 
usual extras. It is warranted for five pears. List price, 
$50. Our price, with yearly subscription, only $19. Or 
given for 30 new subscriptions at the club price of $1.50
