These Machines by their slnpiicts,
the great range of work they execute,
have gained reputation truly
The lannon's succcss Of the SINGER MANUFACTURE.
ING COMPANY has stimulated many other compah-
les to put forth all their energies and talents TO
produce a sewing machine that would eclipse or
equal the Singer, but in every case they have sig
nally failed as is plainly shown by the fact that OF
all the travelling agents-'runherS or dfummtrs
of other companies, none have the assurance to
claim more than an equality with the Singer, even
upon any special class of woA.
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 industrl-
Gus seamstress. Parties purchasing sewing ma
chine of ony sort. find the Improvement on the old
fashioned way of sewing by hand so great and

led to believe that they have the best until the spell
is broken by the Introduction of the Singer Of lS'o

kind of plain or fancy sewing, to awaken them 70 Il

the greatest made of these special points, Is by
the retail agent who parades them before the mex

style to entirely divert attention from the really
important bearings of the case. While other inno-

These Machines are manufactured by one of the

memhered that the singer Manufacturing Com
pany has never made poor Machine-fom the
very first twenty odd years ago. They never buy

at Fairs to gain medals or premiums.
They simply make their Machines as valuable as
money and science can perfect thcm-place them
in their sales Rooms, and leave the public to find
out their virtues in their own way. BY this straight
forward course they are now manufacturing about
four hundred per day and at that rate, even, are
unable to supply the demand.
