the great range of work they execute,
have gained a reputation truly
enNiable.
The famous success of the SINGER MANUFACTURE
ING COMPANY has stimulated many other compan-
les to put forth all their energies aud talents to
produce u sewing machine that would eclipse or
equal the singer, but in every case they nave slg-
nily tailed, rs is plainly shown by the fact that OF
all the travelling agents-"runners OF 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 lndustr
Gus seamstress Parties purchasing n sewing ma
chine of any sort, find the Improvement on the old
fashioned way of sewing by hand so great ana
pleasing, that they are naturally, but erroncousy
led believe that they have the best, until the spell
is broken by the introduction of the Singer Of 1870
into neighbor's family, which is sure, by the IN
creased rapidity and ease with which 1t does every
kind of plain or fancy sewing, to awaken them To
positive. although ii NAV I've silent acknowledge
ment of the painful truth that there are very many
varieties of work that easily executed upon the
Singer, but that they must either be content to do
without, or exchange, at a heavy pecuniary sacri-
flee their curved-nec dled, hailpow cred, uurelia-
blc-tensioned, low-speeded ravel-stltched ma
chine for Singer -Nec Fonilg Machine
Various cNpedients are resortcd to, that the pub
lie eye may be turned from the Singer for the pur-
pose Of introducing inferior machines-.viz, The
double Lock- KnoiSttc ".Ela,tic stitch, ""Twist-
ed Loop" "Self-Adusting Tensions" Hing Finish
and Beautifully Ornamented,D straight Needle
''Stch- Alike-oii-both-S Sides" Medals from Fairs
Vertical Feed Bars" "Noseless Running" silent
Feed" and last and worst of all, the ow-priceG--
Family shuttle Machines"
Many of these points are desirable, (and the
Singer eNCells 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
perienced purchaser with such fluent and earnest
style, to entirely divert attention from the really
important bearings of the case. While other inno-
local agents ignorantly represent that the ma
chine sold by them is capable of doing every varie-
Y of work eItnf to ne H"ger, anu often 90 aney
thus uncouscIously ewindfe customers who cannot
afford L, squander their substance upon gilded
follies and worthless rattle-traps.
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,

They simply make their Machines as valuable as
money and science can perfect them-place them
in their Sales Rooms, and leave the pubic to find
their virtues in their own way. BY this straight
forward course they are now manufacturing about
four hundred per day, ad at that rate, even, are
unable to supply the demand.
