These Machines, by their simplicity, durability,
and the great range of work they execute,
have gained o reputation truly
enviable.
The famous success of the SINGER MANUFACrUR-
ING COMPANY has stimulated many other com
panies to put forth all their energies and talents to
produce sewing machine that would eclipse or
nally tailed, is plainly shown by the fact, that of
all the travelling agents-"rnnners or drummers'
of other companies. none have the assurance TO
claim more than an equaltv 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-
GUS seamstress. Parties purchasing sewing ma
chine of any sort, fiud the Improvement the old
fashioned way of sewing by hand great and
pleasing, that they naturally, but enormously,
led TO believe that they have the hest until the spell
is broken by the introduction of the Singer Of 1870
into a neghbor's family, which is sure, by the in
creased rapidity and ease with which it does every
positive, although il may be silent acknowledge
ment of the painful truth that there very many
varieties of work that are easily executed npon the
Singer, but that they must either be content to do
without, or exchange, at a heavy pecuniary sacri-
flee, their curved-needled frai powered, nnrelia-
ble-ten sioneti, low-speeded or rave stitched ma

Many of these points are desirable, (and the
Singer eNcellS all in each Individual Specay) but
the greatest 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-
cent local agents ignorany represent that the ma
chine sold by them is capable Of doing every vare-
ty of work, equal to the Singer, and often do they
thus unconscously swindle customers who cannot
afford to squander their substance upof gded
follies and worthless rattle-traps.

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
ont 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.
