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 he 
threaded. The joint is much enlarged, and the machine 
is otherwise greatly strengthened aad improved. The 
nse 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 hemmer 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
