THE BEST FAMILY SEWING MACHINE in the world. It comprises all the good points and combines al. that is valuable in the whole of them, besides wmch 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 THREAD over machines making the chain or embroidery stitch will in one year be more than the cost ol 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 EXACT 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 even an ordinary operator to use it successfully. IT USES THE SAME SLZE THREAD on both sides, and botb 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. All extras, fifteen articles and one dozen needles FREE OF CHARGE. ALFRED OAKEY, SOLE AGENT FOR NEW ZEALAND Bridge-street. Four Doors prom McQeb's Hotel.
