These Machines, by their simplicity, durability,
s'7aar and the great range of work they execute,
have gained reputation truly

have gained reputation truly
enviable.
The famous success of the SINGER MANUFACTURE
ING COMPANY has stimulated many other com
panies to put forth all their energies and talents to
produce a sewing machine that would eclipse OF
equal the Singer, but in every case they have sig
all the travelling agents--''runners or drummers"
of other companies none have the assurance to
claim more than an 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 lndusri-
Gus seamstress. Parties purchasing sewing ma.
chine of any sort, find the Improvement on the old
fashioned way OF sewing by hand great and
plea sing that they naturally, but enormously,
led believe that they have the best until the spell
is broken by the Introduction of the Singer Of 1870
into neighbor's family, which is sure, by the in
creased rapidty and ease with which it does every
kind of plain or fancy sewing, toawaken them to a
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 be content to do
without, exchange at heavy pecunary saeri-
flee, their curvedneedled, frail-powereo, unrelia.

Various expedients are resorted to, that the pub
lie eye may be turned from the Singer for the pMr-
pose of introducing inferior maehines-yz, The
Button-Hole Dodge" The Over-Seamng," The
Double Lock k Knot Stitch Elastic stitch Twist
and Beautifully Ornrmented," "Strught Needle
"Sttch-Alik ke-on- both. Sides" Medals from Fairs
"yertical Feed Bars" "Noseess Running" Isl

Family shuttle Machines"
Many of these points are desirable, (and the
Singer excels all in ea,h individual speciality but
the greatest mate OF these special points, Is by
the retail agent who parades them before the mex.
perienced purchaser with such fluent and earnest
syle Us entirely divert attention from the really
important bearings of the case. While other inno-
ent local agents ignorantly represent that the ma
chine sold by them is capable of doing every varie
ty of work equal to the Singer, and onen do they
thus unconsciously swindle customers who cannot
afford to squander their substance upon Siided
follies and worthless rattle-traps.
Parties in quest of Sewing Machine should look
about them and learn what machine is most exten-
syely used in families tailor shops. shoe factories,

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-rolllnS
at Fairs to gain medals or premiums
They simply make their Machines as valuable

four hundred per day, and at that rate, even, are
unable to supply the demand.
