These Machines, by their simplicity, durability and
the great range of work they execute, :,
have gained reputation truly
The famous success Of the SINGER MANUFAcrtR-
ING COMPANY has stimulated many other compan-

produce sewing machine that would eclipse or
equal the Singer, but in every case they have sig-
nay failed, is plainly shown by the fact that OF
all the travelling agents-"runners or drummers"
of other companies, none have the assurance 70

the public, that have their good points, and are Of

PARTIES in quest of Sewing Machine should look

SEWING MACHINE
These Machines are manufactured 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-
and night" none but highly skilled mechanical are
employed. Newly improved machinery Is en-
ployed turning out each part finished to that me-
chancal exactness, that every one is perfect dn,
plcate of the other in size weight and finish. All
new inventions are carefully examined and tested
and if approved, are adopted, regardless Of ex-

and learn the purchaser when too Late that he has
paid too dear for his whistle" 1t should be re-

pany has never made poor Machine-ffom the
very first twenty-odd years ago. They never buy
editorial notices, or expend funds in "og-rolling"
at Fairs to gain medals or premiums. 20 8
They simply make their Machines as valuable
money and science perfect theIn--place them
in their Sales Rooms, and leave the public to find
out their virtues in their own way. BY thisetraght
forward course they are now manuIac turing about
four hundred per day, and at that rate, even, are
unable to supply the demand. @sft f14
