A Good Cheap 
Sewing-Machine at Last. 
We have been offering as a Premium, for some months 
past, the Beckwith new $10 Sewing Ma¬ 
chine, which has been fully described iu the American 
Agriculturist for March and April, 1872. We have already 
given and sold some hundreds of these machines, and test¬ 
imonials of satisfaction are coming from every quarter. 
See what the Peoj*le Say. 
Hundreds of letters have been received by us and by the 
Beckwith Sewing Machine Co., extracts from a few of which 
are given below. 
Sherman, Chautauqua Co., N. Y., Aug. 15th, 1872. 
Gentlemen : Having seen a notice of your machine in the 
Am. Agriculturist, and placing great confidence in what¬ 
ever that journal recommends, I was induced to send for 
one. We never saw the machine until it came by express, 
and had no instruction except what came with it, and iu 
less than half an hour after it was received my daughter was 
making a dress with it, with perfect success, which she com¬ 
pletely made with the machine. Other members of the 
family used it at once with equal success. I consider this, 
the Beckwith Sewing Machine, a most useful family 
machine, which" I cheerfully recommend to all. 
H. W. SPERRY. 
West Chester, August 15th, 1872. 
Gentlemen : In answer to inquiry about Beckwith Sew¬ 
ing Machine, I can say that it lias proved satisfactory. Our 
physician having forbidden a treadle machine to come into 
the house, for fear of my wife, who is in delicate health, being 
tempted to use it. I was induced to order a Beckwith. My 
wife, besides making up female wear of different materials, 
recently finished for me, in a most workmanlike manner, on 
the Beckwith, a whole suit, coat, vest, and pants, of French 
habit-cloth, which is equal, if not superior, to any I have 
had made in your city or elsewhere. It, like ail other 
machines, requires some common-sense application, and a 
little patience, until one fully understands it, and then there 
is little or no trouble. My wife, without any other guide 
than a careful observation of the rules contained in the lid 
of the box, has been able to run it successfully. We value 
it highly. W. P. TOWNSEND. 
Welborn, Fla., September 20th, 1872. 
Gentlemen: The sewing-machme came safely to hand, 
and on trial 1 find it complete. My wife says it is the dear¬ 
est little machine that ever was made, and slie would rattier 
sew on it than to eat—would not take $50 for it if slie could 
not get another. ..... 
Respectfully yours, W. CLAY MALLORY. 
Ludlow, Mass., August 26tli, 1872. 
Gentlemen : 1 received your machine in good order, and 
after using it four months, trying it on all goods, I can say 
that it far exceeds my expectation. To say that I am well 
pleased with it would he but saying little. 1 am satisfied, 
and think the $10 well'spent. 
Yours truly, Mrs. A. L. BENNETT. 
Lookout, W. Tenn., August 3d, 1872. 
Gentlemen fjWe received the Beckwith Machine safely 
the evening of August 1st, and, as this is probably the high¬ 
est testimonial you will ever receive, we have duly felt the 
responsibility of writing to you how the little wonderworks 
“ above the clouds.” We have taken two days to test its 
powers, and are most agreeably surprised. We expected 
nothing half so small, so pretty, or so useful. 
Your friend, MARY J. CHAPMAN. 
Defiance, Ohio, September 1th, 1872. 
Sir : We received your letter and machine In good time. 
We are perfectly satisfied. They will give universal satis¬ 
faction. I am a German; I landed in New York in 1852; 
been in Defiance County sixteen years. 
Yours respectfully, JOHN HEILSHORN. 
Plymouth, Sheboygan Co., Wis., June 10th, 1872. 
Mr. Barlow : We thought this the greatest invention for 
Its inches in the world. It has become a family necessity. 
Yours truly, Mrs. C. B. WILLEY. 
Mansfield, Tioga Co., Pa., September 27th, 1872. 
Gentlemen: Your machine is the most perfect piece of 
simplicity that I ever saw, and ours works, as those say who 
run it, “ splendidly,” Yours truly, 
JOHN H. PUTNAM. 
Fremont, Dodge Co., Neb., September 21st, 1812. 
Gentlemen : I received the $10 Beckwith Sewing 
Machine August 11th, since which time I have sewed gar¬ 
ments from a French lawn to a cloth, and it gives entire 
satisfaction.. 
Respectfully, ANNA C. WATT. 
No. 3, A. & G. R.E., Geokgia, April, 1872. 
Gentlemen: Seeing your improved machine advertised 
In the American Agriculturist, and relying on Orange Judd 
&, Co.’s statements, we sent to them and got one of your 
machines, with which we are much pleased. Have shown 
it to several friends, and I presume several orders will soon 
be sent to Orange Judd & Co. or to you. 
Respectfully yours, J. A. M. KING. 
New York, May, 1872. 
Gentlemen : It is due your laudable enterprise to state 
that, having had In my family one of the Beckwith Sewing 
Machines from its first appearance, its great merits are more 
apparent the longer we use it. My wife makes all her 
dresses ou it with ease and perfect satisfaction, as well as 
everything else she desires to sew. She has recently made 
a heavy silk dress with it, and is now making a light sum¬ 
mer dress. Having formerly been accustomed to the 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 her wherever she goes, and of using it 
wherever she pleases, are considerations so greatly in its 
favor, that it must soon become the favorite of every house¬ 
hold. Yours respectfully, 
LEANDER FOX, 2« Varick St., N. Y. 
Kknansville, Duplin Co., N. C., April, 1812. 
Gentlemen : The machine has been received, and works 
like a charm. Yours respectfully, R. H. BROWN.
