TIE FOOT r.THE SAP, QINCE the introduction of Hand Sewing Machines, attempts have constantly been made to prove that they are fit to supersede the 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 can be sustained by faots. The advertiser submits that each kind of machine is good in its proper place, — the " Hand " for those young 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), bf using a "Treadle" Machine, and also for the very few who are physically unable to use the foot motion. But when the lady of the house desires to do * large quantity oi sewing •n the best manner, and iv the least possible time, 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 differ,'' and any lady anxious upon that point would do well to consult her own medical adviser, who, in giving his opinion, would, pethaps make some slight distinction between the probable effects of using a Machine which requires much power to drive it, ond one which runs lightly, as does the " Wheeler and Wilson. The undersigned invites inspection of his stock of Machines suitable for all ordinary work, aud will be happy to procure to order from best makers Machines required for special purposes, A new lot of HAND MACHINES to arrive per * Lutterworth,' direct from the makers, comprising both "Taylor's Improved," and "Taylor's Friction Whesl." HAND MACHINES sold for Cash, and TREADLE MACHINES either for Cash or for " time payment," and Prices are now Reduced !
