AUGUSTA, MAINE.
These Machines by their simplicity durability, and
the great range of work they execute,
have gained a reputation truly

enviaDle.
The famous success of the SINGER MANUFACTURE
ING COMPANY has stimulated many other c0mpan-
les to put forth all their energies and talents to
produce a sewing machine that would eclipse or
equal the Singer, but in every they have sig
nally failed is plainly shown by the fact, that of
all the travelling agents-'Iiinners or dfummers
of other companies, none have the assurance to
lain 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 ndustri-
chine Of any sort, find the Improvement on the old
fashioned way Of sewing by hand great and
pleasing, that they are naturally but enormously,
led to 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 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 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 heavy pecuniary sacri-

ble-tensioncd, low speeded or ravefstiiched ma
chine for Singer Aec Family Machine;
Various expedients are resorted to, that the pub
lie eye may be turned from the singer for the pur
pose of Introduce ing inferior machines-viz, The
Double Lock Knot Stitch, Elastic stitch, Twist

Vertical Feed Bars ;" Noiscless Running" 'Sent

Family shuttle Machines"
Many of these points are desirable, land the
Singer cXces all in each individual speciality but
the greatest use made of these special points, is by
the retail agent who paradcs them before the mex
perienced purchaser with such fluent and earnest
style, as to entirely divert attention from the really
important bearings of the case. While other inuo-
cent local agents ignorantly represent that the ma
chine sold by them is capable OF doing every varie-
ty of work equal to the Singer, and often do they
thus unconsciously swindle customers who cannot
afford to sauander their substance upon gilded
iolliea and worthless rattle-traps.

ployed turning out each part finished to that me-
plicatc of the other in size, weight and finish All
new inventions are carefully examined and tested,
and if approved, are adopted, regardless of ex-

four hundred per day, and at that rate even, are
unable to supply the demand.
