L v,
| and the great range of work they execute,
have gained reputation truly
enviable.
The famous success of the SINGER MANUFACTURE
| 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 they have sig
nally tailed as is plainly shown by the fact that of
| all the travelling agcnts-'runners or drummersn
| 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 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 erroneousy
led to believe that they have the best until the spell
is broken by the Introduction of the Singer Of 1870
into aneghbors family, which is sure, by the in
creased rapidity and ease with which it does every
Kind of plain or fancy sewing, to awaken them to a
positive, although it may be silent acknowledge
ment, of the painful truth that there very many
Singer, but that they must either be content to do
without, or exchange, at a heavy pecuniary sacr-
ble-tensioned, low-speeded or ravclstitched ma
chine for Singer Ne'o Family h1chine.
Various expedients are resorted to, that the pub
lie eye may be turned from the Singer for the pur
pose of introducing inferior machines-viz, The
Button Hole Dodge" The Over scanning, "Ihe
Double Lock Knot Stitch Elastic Stitch, ""Twst-
ed Loop, ,""Self Adjusting Tensions" High Finish
and beautifully Ornrmented," 'strught Needle,n
Stitch Ahke-on-b Sides Medals from Fairs"

lent Feed and last and worst OF all the lowpriced
Family Shuttle Machines"
Many of these points are desirable, tand the
Singer excels all in each Individual speciality but
the greatestu made Of these special points is by
the retail agent who parades them before the mex
perlenced purchaser with such fluent and earnest
style, as to entirely divert attention from the really
important bearings of the case. While other nno-
cent local agents ignorantly represent that the
chine sold by them is capable of doing every vare-
ty of work, eguat to the Singer and often do they
thu. unconsciously swindle customers who cannot

Parties in qnest Of Sewing Machine should look
about them and learn what machine IL most extern
sively used in families, tailor shops shoe factories,
and carriage factories. IT is an acknowledged fact

These Machines are manufa ctured by one Of the
oldest, strongest, and most enterprsing Compan-
les that has ever been engaged in the business in
the world Throughout their immense manufac-
tories, which are kept in constant operation day
and night" none but highly skilled mechanics are
employed. Newly improved machinery is en-
ployed turning out each part finished 10 that
chShical exactness that every one il perfect du-
new inventions are carefully examined and tested
and if approved, are adopted, regardless of
pense while the many impractical humbugs that
are patented, are left to grace some new wonder
and learn the purchaser when too late that he has
paid too dear for his whistle 1t should be re-
membere1 that the Singer Manufacturing Com
pany has never made a poor Maehine-from the
very first tweHty-odd wears ago. They never buy
editorial notices, or eXpend funds in "logrolling'
at Fairs to gain medals or premiums.
They simply make their Machines valuable
money and science can perfect thcm-place them
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
unable to supply the demand.
