It comprises all the good points, and; combines 'al: that is valuable in* the whole of them, besides wiiirh it has many important advantages possessed by no other machine. THE. REVERSIBLE FEED enables the operator to sew either way; fasten to : 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 THREAIi over machines making the 'chain or embroidery stitch will in one year be more than the cost oi the machine. . < • , THE LOCK STITCH, L 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 EXACT AND POSITIVE MOTION of every part, with ho uncertain springs or brush pads, renders it almost, impossible for a Florence Machine to get out of order, and enables even 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 THB BEST*, is evidenced by the fact that of the thousands* gold in the United Kingdom during the past two years, none give dissatisfaction.- V Ail extras, fifteen article's and one dozen needles FREE OF CHARGE.
