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 Il sewing machine that would eclipse
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-''rnnners 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 many sewing machines. now offered to
the public that have their good points, and are of
much assistance 10 the housewife and the industri-
Gus seamstress. Parties purchasing sewing ma
chine of any sort, find the Improvement on the old

Many of these points are desirable, (and the
Singer exeeils all in each individual speciality but
the greatest use made OF these special points Is by
the retail agent who parades them before the mex

They simply make their Machines as valuable as
money and science can pe,fect 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.
