These Machines, by their simplicity, durability, and
the great range of work they execute,
have gained a reputation truly
enyjable,


The famous success of the SINGER MANUFACTURE
ING COMPANY has stimulated many other compan-
produce sewing machine that would eclipse or
equal the Singer but in every case they have sig
naly 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, ana are OF
much assistance to the housewife and the industr-
Gus seamstress. Parties purchasing a sewing ma:
chine of any sort, find the Improvement ON lhe oid
fashioned way of sewing by hand so great ana
pleasing, that they naturally, but enormously
led to believe that they have the best, until the spe
is broken by the introduction of The Singer 2 1870
into neighbours family, which is sure, by the in
creased rapidity and with which it does every
kind of plain or fancy sewing, to awaken them To a
positive although it may be silent acknowledse.

varieties of work that are easily executed upon the

Many of these points are desirable. tand the
Singer eXcells all in each individual speciality but
the greatest made of these special points Is by
the retail agent who parades them before the mex
pcrienced purchaser with such fluent and earnest
style to entirely divert attention from the really
important bearings of the case While other 1nno-
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 unconsciously Swinde customers who cannot
afford to squander their substance upon gllded

PARTIES in quest of a Sewing Machine should look
about them and learn what machine is most extern
svely used in families, tailor shops, shoe factories
and carriage factories. 1t is an acknowledged fttct

SEWING MACHINE
| These Machines are manufactured by one of the
oldest, strongest, and most enterprlsing Compan-
les that has ever been engaged in the business in
the world Throughout their immense manufac-
| tories, which are kept in constant operation day
| and night" none but highly skilled mechanics are
employed. Newly improved machinery is eGi'
ployed turning out each part finished to that me
chancal exactness, that every one is perfect dl.
plicate 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 huinbugs that
| are patented, 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 Machlne-from the
editorial notices, expend funds in "log rolling"
| at Fairs to gain medals or premiums.
They simply make their Machines as valuable as
money and science can perfect them-pace 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.
