| TEXT | The rapid advancement in the manufacturing arts which so distinguish our American industries is a subject of interesting study. In almost every department of mechanics do our people excel, and the products of our workshops stand unrivalled in the markets of the world. This statement is particularly true with regard to sewing machines, in which the products of American genius are noted for their lightness, strength and general adaptability to the work required of them. One of the leading sewing machine companies in this country is that called the " Avery," which produces a machine that is acknowledged by the public as actually being the best, and possesses the qualities of being noiseless, rapid, light running, never fatiguing the operator, and is able to make eighteen ? hundred stitches in a minute. The construction of the Avery is upon a scientific and mechanical principle entirely new to sewing machines. The basis is simplicity, and the adoption of this admirable principle does away with all systems of cogs, cams and levers, together with all intricacies in gear and consequent difficulty in running. With these fundamental advantages the Avery loses none of the good points of other rival machines, but in their special peculiarities gains on many of them. It is a shuttle-feeding, lock-stitch machine, automatic and entirely noiseless. It is but little liable to get out of order, while at the same time, less instruction is necessary for beginners, and a delicate operator can attend Avery's machine without feeling seriously fatigued. It will execute heavy or light work or both in rotation, without any changes or extra attachment. It is claimed that this sewing machine is unsurpassed by any of its contemporaries, and is the best article for lady operators ever invented, and it will pay intending purchasers to examine this in-vention carefully before deciding on any other, because the best is always the cheapest. The trade is now very extensive, the house exporting to twenty-six different countries. The headquarters and showrooms are located at No. 912 Broadway, where the various styles and grades of these superb machines may be inspected. The Avery machine company is incorporated, and has a capital of $3,000,000, ample to enable it to bring the best materials and the most skilled workmen to make their machines all they claim for them. The president and manager of the company is Mr. J. M. Avery, a gentleman of the greatest energy, ability and integrity, justly meriting the success which has attended his well directed efforts. During the civil war he served as colonel in the commissariat for three years in the army of the Potomac and had charge of the tenth army corps. |
