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 tbe machine. THE LOCK STITCH, compared with the chain stitch, is loss 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 SIZE THREAD on both sides, and both sides of the seam are alike.

[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 full information is given in the Nelson Year Book concerning the Customs tariff and regulations, population, mail routes, Government officials, law news, farming operations, lical signals, and sailing directions, &c. The book doubtless is well appreciated in that part of New Zealand, where it is intended more especially Jo circulate, and is also likely to prove of service to merchants and others in the old country taking an interest in the Colony."
