all the travelling agcnts-"runners or drummers"
of other companies. none have the assurance 10
claim more than equality with the Singer, even
upon any special class OF work.
There are many sewing machines, now onered 10

much assistance to the housewife and the ndustri'
Gus seamstress. Parties purchasing sewing ma.
chine of any sort, find the Improvement on the old
