These Machines, by their simplicity, durability and
the great range of work they execute
have gained reputation truly
envlable.
The famous success of the SINGER MANUFACTURE.
ING COMPANY has stimulated many other compan-
les TO put forth all their energies and talents TO
produce a sewing machine thai would eclipse or
naIly failed as is plainly shown by the fact, that of
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 industri
GUS seamstress. Parties purchasing sewing ma.
chine of any sort find the Improvement % the old
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 or loIO
into a neghbor's family, which is sure, by the in
creased rapidity and ease with which it does every
kind of plain or fancy sewing, to oawaken them TO
positive. although it may he silent acknowledge
ment of tire painful truth that there are very many
varieties of work that are easily executed upon the
Singer, but that they must either be content to do
without, or exchange at a heavy pecunlary sacri-
fee, their curyedneedled, lrail-powered, unrelia-
ble-ten stoned, low-speeded or rave-stitched ma
chine for Singer Aeto Family Machine.
Various eXpedents are resorted to, that the pub

Many of these points are desirable, (and the
Singer excells all in each individual speciality but
the greatest made of these special points, is w
the retail agent who parades them before the mex
perenced purchaser with such fluent and earnest
style, to entirely divert attention from the really
important bearings of the case. While other inno-
cent 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 often do they
thus unconscionsly swindle customers who cannot
afford to souander their substance upon gllded
follies and worthless rattle-traps.
Parties in quest of Sewing Machine should look
about them and learn what machine Is most eNten'
sveiy used in families tailor shops shoe factories
and carriage factories. IT Is an acknowledged Jdcf
Freely admitted by all sering machine dealers, that
more than tcofhirds Of all the clothing TofR in fhfS
country By both seres chether custom made or ready
made, Is actually MANUFACTURED upon THE SINGER
SEWING MACHINE
These Machines are manufactured by one of the
oldest, strongest, and most enterprlslng Compan-
les that has ever been engaged in the business in
the world Throughout their immense manutac-
and nightD none but highly skilled mechanics are
employed. Newly improved machinery Is en-
poyed turning out each part finished to that me-
chanica eXactness, that every one Is perfect dti.
plcate of the other in size, weight and finish. All
new inventions are carefully examined and tested,
and if approved, are adopted, regardless OF ex-
pense, while the many impractical humbugs that
are patented are LEFT to grace some new wonder
and learn the purchaser when too late that he has
paid too dear for his whistle" 1t should be re-
membered that the Singer Manufacturing Com
pany has never made a poor Machine-from the
very first twenty-odd years ago. They never buy
editorial notices, expend funds in ''log-rolling
at Fairs to gain medals or premiums.
They simply make their Machines valuable as
money and science can perfect them-place them
in their Sales Rooms and leave the public to find
out their virtues in their 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.
