NASHVILLE SEWING MACHINE Co.
Sir: 1 am informed in your last communication
that you are done d" advertising my Nettleton &
RAYMOND S25 Machine; of this am panied TO hear,
because of the apathy Of the public sure to prevail
upon our ceasing TO write, am pleased to see you
admit in your yaledictory" that you did copy the
article headed "Cheap Sewing Machines, Frauds.
etc ;" from Singers Sewing Machine Gazette, Of
April 1st 1857 missprinted, '5S, private business
circular, and procured its insertion here IN the
newspapers at advertising rates, while you also ad-
NIT that it was intended to apply to Watson $40
Machine and not ours for ours was not IL existence
at that time So far good; it we're better Tor you 10
retract I must confess l do see something rich u
this the fact is you are lame and uniformed IN
all that pertains TO my Sewing Machine or its sta
tisties. that | am surprised in looking over your
correspondence that you could have yenIured so lar
as to have been ledintO newspaper controversy Tor
while your needy budget has been so 1ul OF schemes
you have not by their aid even maintained single
point nor one single date adequate to prove your
assertions or claims; while have here the docu
ments to prove officially all have maintained /
deplore your position in this matter, but being at
tackled how could do otherwise than defend my self!
Who will undertake the Hercuean task Of hlnderlng
for a moment the inventive genius Of this age
Better attempt to turn Niagara cup stream" for
CINE twenty years ago, costing thousands OF dollars,
has become Inc simple and neat Engine of to-day,
costing one fifth part the amount because less COM
pcated; 20 the difference is still more apparent IN
a comparison Of your Machine Withthe Netteton q
Raymond; hence the difference in prpe This IS no
idle talk, bat as true as Holy Writ, IL is to such
an invention we become partial 6nd feel 1t cur
duty to the public to maintain against 81 odds, when
attacked by you who feel aggrieved q our success
because Of our being able to furnish 3 good and
reliable family Sewing Machine st S25. You have
attempted hastily, and pursued too eagerly the
unequal task Of .rcrushing Out the hetltton &
Raymond Machine it can't be done
The public ViH Fave them, the more yol tamey
attempt to persecgte either the machine, or those
who vend them; therefore, advise that In future
you be more circUmspect and cautious IN any thing
you undertake, and never begin thing until you
FIRST consider how it is to be finished; for my word
for it, We are both able ami wiling to defend cur
rights from any assault you may be Wiling 10 uHder-
take. You undertook a dangerous task When you
attacked u.s. both in our character as we'll as our
machine Fen your very last as5erhpn-thdt we
dropped the Watson machine by force Of clrcumstan-
oes-is not true for we had lost interest besides
our money, six months previous TO any complaint
being made against that machine. Your assertion
that every court of ustic decided against It, Is ast
untrue, for the proprietors Of The Watson machine
have had the presumtiYe evidence Of Grover Baker
against it. miserable it isl kicked cut Of the U
s. court twice. aud never, but in one instance, has
single suit been decided against that machine and
that went by default, and against those IN no wise
interested in defendingIt Such the facts, how do
you like them? Thus you see [ will not even leave
you peg v hereon to hang an argument With these
obserVations leave you and your attacks, with the
pleasant reelection, that the public will soon have
the opportunity Of testing machine in Nashville,
and throughout Tennessee. Small profits are not
to be despised Can you prevent it Nous UsrTOHS!!
Yours, Very Truly, A, W. GooDELL.
