We Guarantee Each and Every
Machine Sold for 10 Years
With ordinary care a Joske sewing machine will last a
lifetime. These machines are handsome in design, splen-
didly equipped and the best finished sewing machines the
present market affords. The sewing head has an unu-
sually high arm, affording ample room underneath for
handling the class of material utilized in family sewing.
All the many features of importance and merit that you
will find in any of the so-called "standard" machines you
will find embodied in Joske machines. With each machine
we furnish, entirely free of charge, a full set of attach-
ments, filled oil can and book of directions, which makes
home sewing on the Joske machine easy and simple.
$5.00 Puts Any Joske Machine in Your Home
By paying $5 down and $1 a week you can secure any
one of these high-grade, tested sewing machines at about
half what they would cost you if bought in the usual way.
To be frank with you, the self-same machine, marked
with the manufacturer's name instead of "Joske Model,"
will cost you nearly twice the sale price quoted here.
You Use the Machine While Paying for It
It is easy to own one of these high-class, guaranteed ma-
chines and pay LESS than a POOR machine would cost
you. Joske machines are equal to the best. You may pay
more, but you cannot buy more.
