apparent the longer we use i . My wife makes all her

everything else site desires to sew. She lias recently made 
a heavy silk dress wii h it. and is now making a light, sum¬ 
mer dress. Havjcg cormeriy '.etr. ^^n turned to I lie use 
of first-class large machines, she greatly prefers the little 
Beckwith. Its ease of operation. Its simplicity, and always 
being In perfect order, together with the great convenience 
of taking it with lier wherever she goes, and of using it 
wherever she pleases, are considerations so greatly in its 
favor, that it must soon becomp the favorite of every house¬ 
hold. Tours respectfully,
