With the ordinary machine it is necessary to spend a large part of each day's work in winding and changing bobbins. The average bobbin holds les£ than 50 yards of thread. The average spool holds 200 yards. Think of the time you save and the labor! You sew direct from two spools of thread. The lower spool fits in the spool case, which answers the purpose of a shuttle, while the other is placed on the spool pin, as usual. You will not be annoyed by the lower thread running out unexpectedly in the^middle of a seam. The amount of thread on the lower spool is indicated by the condition of the upper spool. . Q,Fhe automatic tension is a genuine time-saver. It produces a perfed Stitch, without ad­ justment, on all classes of work. It saves the time necessary in changing tensions on ordinr ary machines.' This innovation in sewing machines--this triumph of the Twentieth Onturj*--is unique­ ly simple. It is easy to understand and to operate and you will soon become proficient in its use. In easy running qualities--in the wide range of work possible and in the points of per­ fect sewing and durability, the Eldredge Two Spool is pre eminent. To see it, is to want it --to try it, is to buy it. N. A. HUEMANN, WEST McHENRY Solo, Characters Mr. Bhrks *....... Peter Freund, Jr. Mrs. Briggs . . .Susie Baei Bobbie, their SOB....Peter F.
