This is the most useful article ever made. Every lady wants one and must have one. It can be attached to any table. It has a Spool Holder for sewing and basting thread, Emery Cushion for pins and needles, a Work Holder, and a Steel-edge Thread Cutter. It recommends itself as the most useful article ever invented. The illustration gives a very poor idea of what it really is. It must be seen to be appreciated. In order to introduce our old and reliable 8-page (48-column) weekly family story paper, The Yankee Blade, into thousands of new homes, we make the following extraordinary offer, which has never been equaled by any responsible publisher in the world. The regular subscription price of The Blade is, and always has been, $2.00 a year, but, if you will subscribe at once, we will send the Ladies' Sewing Assistant and The Yankee Blade, every week for one year, for only $1.25. Or, we will give the Sewing Assistant, free, for a club of two yearly subscriptions, at the above special rate, $1.25 each. The Blade contains in one year over 400 complete stories, besides a vast amount of miscellaneous matter that is alone worth more than is asked for all.
