SINGERS SEWING MACHINES.


These celebrated machines are in practical and
profitable use in all parts Of the civilized world.
In all the various trades, and in sewing every sort
of fabric, either of cloth or leather, they have
been fully tried and approved, Sewing machines
of other manufacturers often fail to work, but
SINGERS MACHINES ALWAYS OPERATE
PERFECTLY, being strong, durable and complete
in cOntrivance and workmanship. A perfect sew
ing machine kept employed affords a clear profit of
81 900 a year but an imperfect one is a cause of
constant vexation and loss. The entire RELIABLE
ITY of our machines is one great reason for their
unparalleled popularity.
MACHINES FOR FAMILY SEWING,
of a frail and delicate construction, are rocom-
mended by other manufactures. Such machines
are made to catch the eye, not to perform substan-
tial work. The truth is, family sewing machines
ought to be stronger than any other, because they
go into less skilful hands than when sold to man
ulacturers, and are used for a greater variety OF
work. The machines which have proved best for
all other purposes must be best for family use, and
they are Singers. The speed of our machines has
lately been doubled, No other can compare with
them in quantity of work.
gss| New machines of the latest improved
style will be exchanged on liberal terms for old
sewing machines of our own make, or for oper-
alive machines of other manufacturers Local
agents wanted to sell our machens ~Gsa
N. BAH persons desiring full information
about sewing machines, can obtain il by applying
for copy of 81. NJ, Singer & Co.'s Gazette

This fact which gratifying to the advocates Of policy
