These Machines by their simplicity, durablllty, ana
the great range of work they execute,
have gained reputation truly
enviable.
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 sewing machine that would eclipse or
equal the Singer, but in every they have sig
nally 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 industr
GUS seamstress. Parties purchasing a sewing ma
chine of any sort, find the improvement on the old
fashioned way of sewing by hand so great and
pleasing, tnat they are nanraily but err9neousy
is broken by the introduction of the Singer Of 1870
into neghbor's family, which is sure, by the in
creased rapldlty and ease with which it does every
kind of plain or fancy sewing, to awaken them to
positive. although it may be silent acknowledge
mcnt of the painful truth that there very many
varieties of work that easily executed upon the
Singer but that they must either be content to do
without, or exchange, at heavy pecuniary sacri-
flee their curyed-needled, rail-powered, unrelia-
ble-tensioned low speeded ravel-stitched ma
chine for Singer 4ter Family Machine.
Various eXpedients resorted to- that the pub
lie eye may be turned from the Singer for the pur-
pose of introducing inferior .1 machinesaviz The
Double Lock Knot Stitch Elastic Stitch, ""Twist-
ed Loop" "Self-Adusting Tensions, !" Hing Finish
and Beautifully ornamented straight Needle,
Vertical Feed Bars, !" "Noseless Running" silent
Feed" and last and worst of all, the low-priced-
Family Shuttle Machines"
Many of these points are desirable (and the
Singer excells 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
perenced purchaser with such fluent and earnest
style, to entirely divert attention from the really
important bearings of the case. While other inn0-
cent local agents ignorantly represent that the
chine sold by them is capable of doing every vare
thus unconsciously swindle customers who cannot
afford to squander their substance upon gilded
follies and worthless ratte-trapss.
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 fact,
Freely admitted By all se,c,ng machine dealers that
than teo-thirds Of all the clothing in this
country By both seres nhether 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 enterprsing Compan-
les that has ever been engaged in the business in
the world. Throughout their immense manufac-
n ae b hb IN ed
! employed. Newly improved machinery is en-
ployed turning out each part finished to that me-
chancal exactness, that every one is perfect du.
plicate of the other in SIZE weight and finish. All
! new inventions 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 poor Machne-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-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.
