The famous success of the SINGER MANUFACTURE
ING CoMrAsf has stimulated many other ,., com, n
produce sewing machine that would eclipse or
equal the Singer, but in every they have sig.
naliy tailed, is plainly shown by the fact, that OF
all the travelling agents-'rnnners OF drunlners =
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-
seamstress. Parties purchasing IA sewing ma.
chine of any sort, find the improvement on the old
fashioned way of sewing by hand so great and
pleasing that they naturally, but enormously,
led believe that they have the best until the spell
is broken by the introduction of the Singer 9f 1870
into neighbor's family, which is sure, by the in
creased rapdy and ease with which il does every
kind of plain or fancy sewing, to awaken them to
positive. although it may be silent acknowledge
ment, of the painful truth that there are very many
varieties of work that are easily eNecuted upon the
Singer, but that they must either be content 70 DO
without, Or exchange, at Il heavy pecuniary sacri-
flee, their curvedneedled frailpowered, unrelia-
be-tensoned, low:speeded or raycstitched ma
chine for a Singer Ne,c Family Machine. 49,. .
Various expedients resorted to, that the pub
lie eye may be turned from the singer tor the pur-
pose of introducing inferior machines-viz, The
Button Hole Dodge" The Over-Seaming." The
Double Lock Knot Stitch, ,"Elastic stitch" Twist
ed Loop" Self, Adjusting Tensions" High Finish
"Stitch both. Sides Medals from FAIRS
vertical Feed Bars" 'Noiseiess Rnnning " Isl,
lent Feed" and last and worst OF all the ow-prced
Family shuttle Machines"
Many of these points desirable, (and the
Singer eXces ali in each individual speciality bnt
the greatest made of ths special points Is 10y
the retail agent who parsitles them before the mex
perienced purchaser with such fluent and earnest
style to entirely divert attention from the really
important bearings of the case. While other lnno-
cent local agents ignorantly represent that the ma
chine sold by them is capable OF dong every varie-
ty of work equal to the Singer, and often do they
thus unconsciously .swindlc customers " no cannot
afford to squander their substance upon gilded
follies aid worthless rattletraps.
Parties in quest of "A sewing Machine should look
about them and learn what machine is most exten-
sveiv used in families, tailor shops, shoe factories,
and rriage factories. 1t Is acknowledged tttct,
Freely admitted by alt se,cng Bdchne dealers, that
more than tro-hirds Of all the clothing in this
countru bu both seres hether custom made ready
made Is actually manufactured upon THE SINGER
SEWING MACHINE.
These Machines are manufactured by one of the
oldest, strongest, and most enterprl>ng 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 EN-
ployed turning out each part finished To that me-
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 humbugs that
are patented, are leit 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-
membrred that the Singer Manufacturing Com
pany has never made poor Machine-from the
very first tweDtyodd years ago. They never buy
editorial notices, eXpena funds in log rolling"
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 couree they are now manufacturing about
four hundred per day, and at that rate, even, are
unable to supply the demand
