patents; the first granted august IL, lS5l-e second
Aprit ID, lS52.-The only machine privileged to
use straight needle. Within short time it has
been awarded seven gold and silver medals at
Fairs in different States. In less than two wears
the great reputation of this labor saving machine
has been established in this country and in Eu-
rope What spinning machinery is to the old
spinning wheel, Singers Sewing Machine is to
the other modes of sewing. 1t has already tri:
umphed over inveterate prejuiices arising from
the sale OF imperfect and worthless machines. 1t
has been introduced extensively into large manu-
featuring establishments, and into the hands of
individual operators. 1t sews every variety of ma
terials, coarse or fine, CLOTH or LEATHER, with
marvellous rapidity and surprising strength and
beauty, performing the work as fast as ten per-
sons, and much better than it can be done by
hand. This machine is compact, ornamental,
durable, and is easily adjusted and operated Full
printed directions for using it furnished with
each machine. The price, with all apparatus com
plete, is 1925.
Some persons are endeavoring to sell Territorial
Rights for Sewing Machines which make double
tambour raveling stitch with TWO NEEDLES, and
| orders are received for such machines to be fur
nished for 1926. These machines are not in a form
to be of any practical use. The two needles cut
and weaken the materials sewed, and they use
twice the quantity of silk required for good ma
chimes. They are quite inferior to Wilson's, Lee
| row Il Bodgett's, and other machines which the
public have tried and rejected, and would be bad
property if they could be had for nothing.
Exclusive rights to use and sell to Others Singers
Sewing Machines, in any part of the territory Of
the United States not disposed of, will be sold on
reasonable terms, and so as to insure to the pur-
chasers immense profits. The right to make hes.
machines is necer sold.

visiting New York to buy goods, furnish conve-
nlent medium to procure machines; and draft,
