‘Beckwith 
Sewing Machines 
ONLY $12. 
ONLY $20. 
We have offered as a Premium, and also for sale, for 
more than a year past, the 
Beckwith Sewing Maclaine, 
Whioli has been fully described in previous numbers of this 
paper. We have already given and sold more tliaa one 
thousand of these machines, and testimonials of satisfac¬ 
tion have come from every quarter. 
We still offer the Beckwith Sewing Ma¬ 
chine, Improved, price $12. A new and very 
simple braiding-foot has been made, by which a child can 
sew on braid without the least trouble, following any de¬ 
sired pattern with ease ; also a new arm, spiral spring 
and lever for raising the presser-foot, all of which are 
now set in a position that leaves the needle free to be 
threaded. The joint is much enlarged, aud the machine 
is otherwise greatly strengthened and improved. The 
use of the braider-foot alone will be valued more than 
the cost of the machine. 
Each of these machines is put in a neat, compact 
box, with hammer and guide , oil-can with oil , thread ,, 
different-sized, needles, etc., with full Printed Directions 
for using. On receipt of $12 we will send one of these 
machines to any address, expressage to be paid by tho 
purchaser. 
The Machine as a Premium. 
We will give one of these $13 machines to 
any one who will collect and forward eight 
subscribers for Hearth and Home one year at 
$3 each; or sixteen subscribers to American 
Agriculturist for one year, at $1.50 each, ex¬ 
pressage on the machine to be paid by the re¬ 
cipient of it. 
THE BECKWITH 
PORTABLE 
Family Sewing Machine. 
PRICE $20. 
Enlarged and Improved. 
ITS WEIGHT IS 7 POUNDS. 
WhHe we continue the offer ol the Improved $12 Ma¬ 
chine as heretofore, we now offer the new 
Portable Family Machine, 
price $20, which comprises all the excellencies of the former, 
with many valuable improvements. Its size and power are 
increased, and its capacity thus very much enlarged, without 
impairing its portability. There have been added cam and 
eccentric movement, a balance-wheel, and also an oscillat¬ 
ing needle-clamp, by which the length of stitch can with the 
greatest ease, be changed to the linest shade of variation 
without touching the needle. 
To any one sending us $20, we -will send one of the Machine* 
(packed in a, neat, portable case, with handle to carry it 
easily), expressage to be paid by purchaser. 
S^TRY THE $20 MACHINE.^ 
The Machine as a Premium. 
We will give one of these $30 Machines to 
any one who will collect and forward to us 
Fifteen Subscribers to dearth and Home for 
one year at $3 each, or Thirty Subscribers to 
American Agriculturist for one year at $1.50 
each, or One Hundred at $1 each, expressage 
on the Machine to be paid by the recipient 
of it. 
Almost Aiy lady can readily secure the small 
number of subscribers required to get either the $12 or 
the $20 Machine as described above; or some friend can 
thus obtain it for her as a present.
