American Enterprise.

No invention of the nineteenth century has worked a greater revolution in household economy or conferred more of a benefit on humanity than the sewing machine. The first productions were crude and uncouth in the extreme, and it was reserved for American skill ’•nd ingenuity to bring forth a machine of any practical value. In order to appreciate the great advancement which has taken place it is only necessary to compare one of the machines built during the infancy of the invention with one of the latest improved ‘ Light-Running New Home ” All the really good points contained in other machines have been utilized in its construction.— Many new 7 improvements and devices have also been added, the .esult of which is a machine as nearly perfect as it is possible to make one. For simplicity, durability, ease of management and capacity for work, the “Light-Running New Home” has no rival, and the happy possessor of one may rest assured that he or she has the very best the world affords.
