Iry and Bob sew up the business
"I sure wouldn't
use anything else. 7 7
"I had another machine and I had nothing but trou-
ble. But when I got the Husqvarna, that was that." That's
Mrs. Dalton Finkbeiner talking. And when you realize that
she's speaking about a machine that now is 15 years old
it means a lot of satisfaction to us.
In all those years Mrs. Finkbeiner has spent not
more than $10 on repairs on that machine and she does
a lot of sewing, upwards of 20 hours a week.
For years she has sewn not only for her own family
but for anyone who will bring her some work for the
Husqvarna. When she moved into her new home she tells
us she had sewn drapes for half a dozen other homes be-
fore she gat around to her own. She once made all the
drapes for Ralph Sweitzer when the interior decorator
worked out of Exeter.
Mrs. Finkbeiner is so pleased with the 15-year-old
model she has now, she refused to even consider trading to
a new Husqvarna. "I can't find anything wrong with it."
The thing Mrs. Finkbeiner likes best about it is
that there is nothing complicated. "Anyone who can run
any mechanical device can run this one," she says. It's
sort of "instant sewing".
The Husqvarna (pronounced Husk-varna) is made
by the world's largest manufacturer of automatic sewing
machines, a Swedish firm that started out by making mus-
kets for the Swedish royal family in 1689. It's made over
2,500,000 sewing machines since 1872. (It still makes guns
and also electric ranges, bicycles, motorcycles, and a wide
range of other products requiring Swedish steel.)
What makes it so good to hold our loyalty (and
Mrs. Finkbeiner's) since 1950? Husqvarna has introduced
nylon gears to ensure silent running. It has patented the
world's only pinch-free and completely fool-proof sewing
machine shuttle.
It has a reduction gear that allows you to use the
full power of the machine at any speed. That means it's
just like the gears of a car—but without the clutch. You
can slow it down still using all the power for stitch by
stitch performance—without slipping, without delicate con-
trol on the pedal, without any difficulty. And that's some-
thing! See that feature demonstrated at the Exeter Fair.
Or try it out on zig zag or demand fancy embroi-
dery stitches from it. It's nothing to be afraid of. For zig
zag you simply dial the zig you need. For embroidery,
select the design, insert one of three cams, dial the setting
and sew. And here's where the genius sets in. You can
design your own embroidery patterns by simply varying
the setting to your notion. After 15 minutes fooling around
with this thing you're well on your way.
Now consider the free arm. Every sewing machine
should have a free arm so that you can do with the sewing
machine what you can do with an ironing board. Slip the
sleeve over the end and sew a flat, uncrumpied surface
without trouble. Best of all the free arm is not bolted on
like other machines. It's cast with the rest of the unit
from a single piece of steel.
If you've ever had the frustration of the shuttle
jamming, then you should also know that the Husqvarna
is the only sewing machine that can say it never jams—
and never needs oiling. It's the only one in the world, due
to exclusive patents.
And how's this for consideration. The motor is
equipped with a radio and TV interference filter.
Iry Armstrong is the sewing machine expert at
Hopper-Hockey. The perfection of the Husqvarna has en-
abled him to sell them year after year with no fear for the
Hockey-Hopper reputation.
Hopper-Hockey guarantees fast service should you
ever have any trouble. Parts are warehoused in Toronto
for easy accessibility and quick repair.
A great deal has happened to the sewing machine
in the last 10 years. From having a 'machine on which you
could sew only straight seams, it has become a versatile
tool, usable for every conceivable sewing job.
Much of this development is attributable to the evo-
lution of modern fabrics, which just cannot be sewn
properly without a modern machine. You cannot get good
results with an ordinary straight-stitch machine when sew-
ing jersey, flannel or tricot. For such fabrics you simply
must have a sewing machine that is equipped for special
seams — on the Husqvarna Automatic these are called
Utility Seams.
But a modern sewing machine should not only al-
low you to sew different kinds of seams—you should also
expect it to have a free arm, a jam-proof shuttle, and a
slow-speed gear. Trouble-free operation and access to rap-
id, good service are factors of importance. Long years of
experience and meticulous control provide a guarantee
for the reliability of Husqvarna sewing machines and first-
class service is insured by Hopper-Hockey.
If you enjoy sewing and 'would like to do more with
a fool-proof machine, then treat yourself to the most use-
ful of luxuries—the Husqvarna.
