BLANEY JOHN T., dealer in sew- ing machines, No. 634 Maine street. Gen- eral agent for the White Sewing Machine. This machine possesses more advantages and satisfies those who use it better than any other machine on the market. We beg to call your attention to a few of the many ad- vantages combined in it: 1st .- It is the lightest running shuttle sewing machine. 2d .- It has more capacity and power than any other family sewing machine. 3d .- It is not complicated with cog-gear nor large cams. 4th .- It is the simplest and best con- structed machine. 5th .- Its working parts are case-hardened iron or steel, and so ar- ranged that any wear can be taken up simply by the turning of a screw. 6th .- It has a steel feed on both sides of the needle. 7th. -Its shuttle is comparatively self-threading, made of solid steel, and carries a larger bobbin than almost any other family sewing machine. 8th .- Its works are all encased and free from dust, and so arranged that neither garment being sewed, nor the opera-
tor, will become oiled. 9th .- It has a device by which bobbins can be filled without run- ning the entire machine, thereby relieving it from wear for this purpose, as also relieving the operator of the necessity of removing the work or attachments, as is the case in nearly all other machines. 10th .- It has a self-setting needle. 11th .- It is elegantly ornamented and finished, and its cabinet- work is unsurpassed. The result of this combination is the "White," the most dura- ble, the cheapest, best and largest family sewing machine in the world. If you need a machine, try it. You will like it and buy it. Also keeps needles and oils for all ma- chines, and attends to repairing.
