The famous success of the SINGER MANUFACTURE
ING COMPANY has stimulated many other com
panes to put forth all their energies and talents to
produce Il sewing machine that would eclipse OF
equal the Singer, but in every case they have sig
nally failed as is plainly shown by the fact that OF
all the travelling dgents-"runners or drummers'
of other companies. none have the assurance to
claim more than equality with the Singer, even
upon any special class of work.
There are many sewing machines, now offered to
the public that have their good points, and are OF
much assistance to the housewife and the industri-
Gus seamstress. Parties purchasing sewing ma,
chine of any sort, find the improvement on the old
fashioned way of sewing by hand so great aud
pleasing that they are naturally, but enormously
led to believe that they have the best until the spell
is broken by the introduction Of the Singer Of 1870
into neighbor's anily, which is sure, by the in
creased rapidity and ease with which it does every
kind of plain or fancy sewing, to awaken them to II
positive, although it may be silent acknowledge
ment of the painful truth that there are very many
varieties of work that easily executed upon the
Singer but that they must either he content TO do

Many of these points desirable, (and the
Singer exccs all ia each individual speciality but
the greatest made of these special points is by
the retail agent who parades them before the mex
pericnced purchaser with such fluent and earnest
style to entirely divert attention from the really
important bearings of the case. While other limo
cent local agents ignorantly represent that the ma
chine sold by them Is capable OF doing every 'af1e-
ty of work, equdl t. TIE singer, aud often do they
thus unconsciou;ly swindlt customers who cannot

SEWING MACHINE.
These Machines are manufactured by one of the
oldest, strongest, and most enterprising Compan-
les that has ever been engaged in the business in
the world. Throughout their immense nlannfac-
tories, which are kept in constant operation day
and night none but highly skilled mechanics are
employed Newly improved machinery is en-
ployed turning out each part finished to that me-
chanical eXactness. that every one Is perfect du-
plicate of the other in size, weight and finish. Al
new inventions are carefully examined and tested
and if approved, are adopted, regardless of ex

paid too dear for his whistle" 1t should be re-
membered that the Singer Manufacturing Com
pany has never made poor Machine-from the
very first twenty-odd years ago. They never buy
editorial notices or expend funds in 'log-rolling'
at Fairs to gain medals or premiums.
They simply make their Machines valuable as
money and science can perfect then-vllaee them
