THE BEST FAMILY SEWING MACHINE in the world. It comprises all the good points, and combines all that is valuable in the whole of them, besides which it has mzny important advantages possessed by no other machine. THE REVERSIBLE FEED enables the operator to sew either way; to fasten ends of seams without stopping or turning the , work. IT HAS THE SELF-ADJUSTING SHUTTLE TENSION. IT MAKES FOUR KINDS OF STITCHES. THE SAVING OF THREAD over machines making the chain or embroidery stitch will in one year be more than the cost oi the machine. THE LOCK STITCH, compared with the chain stitch, is less clumsy, — is less liable to be washed or ironed off, and does not, like the latter, form a network to retain dirt. THE EXAOr AND POSITIVE MOTION of every part, with no uncertain springs or brush pads, renders it almost impossible for a Florence Machine to get out of order, and enables evea an ordinary operator to use it successfully. IT USES THE SAME SIZE THREAD on both sides, and both sides of the seam are alike, THAT IT IS THE BEST, is evidenced by the fact that of the thousands sold in the United Kingdom during the past two years., none give dissatisfaction.
