THREE SILVER MEDALS AWARDED TO THE U X^ LORENCE." JC THE Highest Prizes for Sewing Machines ■WERE GIVEN TO THE "FLORENCE," In 1867, at the AMERICAN INSTITUTB, NEW YORK) the greatest honor attainable in the United States); Mechanics' Institute, in Lowell, Massachusetts, in October; EXPOSITION UNIVERSELLE, PARIS, in July; Manchester and Liverpool Agricultural Society's Centenary Exhibition, in August; and at Coventry and Midland Manufacturing Industrial and Art Exhibition, in October. 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 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 j the cost ol the machine. THE LOCK STITCH, compared with the chain stitch, is less clumsy —is less liable to be washed t)r 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 SIZE THREAD on both sides, and both sides of the seam are alike. TWO MORE GOLD MEDALS AND THAT IT IS THE BEST, is evidenced by tho 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 Bridoe-stkebt. Four Doors prom MoGeb's Hotel.

[Extract -from Letts, Sons, and Co.'s Monthly Circular, April, 1873.] " The Nelson Almanac and Year Book for 1873; Nelson, N.Z., R. Lucas and Son. "It is a clear sign of progress in a Colony when year after year its Almanacs and Handbooks increase in size, and seem to brim over with useful matter. Very lull infor,mation is given in the Nelson Year Book concerning the Customs tariff and regulations, population, mail routes; Government officials, law news, farming operations, local signals, and sailing directions, &c. The book doubtless is well appreciated in that part of New; Zealand, where it is inteoded more especially to circulate, and is also likely to prove of service to merchants and others in the old country taking an interest in the Colony."
