times the
FLORENCE SEWING MA-
CHINE CO.
have determined to
ItKDUCK PUKES.
and will hereafter sell their $65 Machine
for $45, und other styles in proportion.
THE FLORENCE
is the ONLY Sewing Machine that feeds
the work backward and forward, or to
right and left, as the purchaser may pre-
fer. It has been greatly I MP 110 VED
A ND SIMPLIFIED, and is far better
than any other machine in the market.
IT IS NOW THE CHEAPEST
The following are s»me of the, many
points iu which ibe FLORENCE excels ail
other Shuttle Machines:
In doing more Styles of work. Winding
and changing the Bobbin without re-
moving the goods. Sewing in op-
posite directions. Accuracy
ofteusiou. Durability and
strength of parts. Quiet-
ness in running. Choice
of S1DK or BACK
feed. Simplicity of
Shuttle. Ease of
threading. Light-
ness iu runuiug,
Elasticity ot
stitch. Mech-
auical princip-
les employed. In
refusing no kind of
goods. Ease of set-
ting needle. Lack of
wear ou thread. Fine-
ness and neatness of
stitch Rapidity and ease
in winding bobbins. Ab-
sence of cogs, cams and
springs. In saving of thread.
Ease and rapidity of regulatiug stitch.
In quality of hemnier and attachments Iu
variety and styles. In lack of needle
cutting cloth. In fastening ends
of seams, aud staying any part
of seam, Ac., &c.,
We challenged all competitors to dis-
prove any of the above statements.
After a thorough test of over twelve
years not a single FLORENCE has over
worn out in family use.
