Texas (from any direction) and push Into the
Interior and on to deep water on the Mexican
Gulf; but such was the case and It Is a fact
that the k at y is the first to get out of the Old
ruts and Improve Its facilities for handling
passengers and freight. As the early set-
tlers moved from old log cabins to the more
comfortable modernized houses, so has the
katy advanced and moved her passengers
irom Pullman Into
Wagner Palace Sleeping Cars.

It is a FIRST CLASS HICH-GRADEMACHINE!
Warranted for Ten Years.

Set (4 widths) and Binder, One Braider, (foot and slide.)
Besides this each machine is supplied with the following additional aooessorles:
One Hemmer and Feller, (one piece) Ten Needles, Six Bobbins, One Screw Dri-
ver, One Oil Can (with Oil), Cloth Gauge and Thnmb Screw, and a Book of

The Bplance-Wheel and many of the fine parts are nickel-plated, with other
parts finely enameled and ornamented, giving it a rich appearance.
The improved automatic bobbin winder is so simple that a child can easily
operate it—winding the thread automatically on the bobbin as evenly and reg-
ularly as the thread on a spool.
It has a self setting needle and self-threading cylinder shuttle.
The woodwork is the best that can be procured. It is finely finished and ol
modern design, making it handsomer than the ordinary style of woodwork, and
is at the same time of equal durability. It is finished in either oak or walnut
