THE HAND, QINCE the introduction of Hand Sewing Machines, attempts have constantly been made to prove that they are fit) to supersede tbe original Treadle Machines, but intending purchasers are requested to examine the matter and decide for themselves whether their claims are well founded, and whether also the objections raised (frequently by interested parties) to the use of the Treadle caa be sustained by fads. The advertiser submits that each kind of machine is good in its proper place, — -the ts Hand " for those youDg ladies who may have occasion frequently to change their place of abode, or for those who are unable to give the small amount of time and trouble necessary to learn thoroughly the art (once acquired, of life long value), of using a "Treadle" Machine, and also for the very few who are physically unable to use tbe foot motion. But when the lady of the house desires to do a large quantity of sewing in the best manner, aud ia the least possible lime, A good Treadle Machine is unequalled. That the use of the feet in sewing is injurious to health is a matter upon which the " Doctors diffar," and any lady anxious upon that poinfc would do well to consult her own medical adviser, who, in giving his opinion, would perhaps make some slight distinction between the probable effects of usinj; a Machine which requires much power to drive it, and one which runs lightly, as does the " Wheeler and Wilson. The undersigned invites inspection of his stock of Machines suitable for all ordiuary work, and will be happy to procure to order from best makers Machines required for special purposes. A new lot of HAND MACHINES to arrive p9r ' Lutterworth,' direct from the makers, comprising both " Taylor's Improved," and " Taylor's Friction Whbbl " HAND MACHINES sold for Cash, and TREADLE MACHINES either ■for Cash or for " time payment," and Prices are now Reduced !
