The famous success of the SINGER MANurAcruR.
ING COMPANY has stimulated many other COM
panes to put forth all their energies and talents to
produce q sewing machine that would eclipse or
equal the Singer, but in every case they have sig
naly tailed, is plainly shown by the fact, that of
all the travelling agcnts--'runneIs or drummersD
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. thathaye their good points and eef
much assistance TO the housewife and the indusri-
chine of any sort find the Improvement ON the old
fashioned way of sewing by hand so 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 a neighbours family, which is sure, by the in
creased rapidity and ease with which it doee every
kind of plain or fancy sewing, to awaken them to

varieties OF work that are easily executed upon the

Many OF these points are desirable, (and the
Singer excens all in each individual speciality but
the greatest made of these special points, Is by
the retail agent who parsdes 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 inno-
cent local agents gnorantly represent that the ma
chine sold by them is capable of doing every vare

pany has never made poor Machine-from the
very first twentyodd years ago. They never buy
editorial notices, expend funds in 'logroiling"
at Fairs to gain medals or premiums.
They simply make their Machines as valuable as
money and science can perfect them-piace 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
