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

The famous success of the SINGER NJ MANUFACTURE
ING COMPANY has stimulated many other comran-
les to put forth all their energies and talents u
produce sewing machine that would eclipse or
equal the Singer, but in every case they have sig
nally failed is plainly shown by the fact, that OF
all the travelling agents-"runners or drummers"
of other companies, none have the assurance 20
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, a: are OF
much assistance to the housewife and tie industri-
Gus seamstress. Parties purchasing Il sewing ma
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 neghbor's family, which is sure, by the in
creased rapidity and ease with which it does every
kind of plain fancy sewing, to awaken them to a
| positive. although it may be silent acknowledge
nent 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-
fee, their curved-needle,, frail-powered unrelia-
| ble-tensioned low speeded or rayel-stitched ma
| chine for Singer 4Neao Family Machine.
Various expedents are resorted to, that the pub
lie eve NAV be turned from the Singer for the pur-
pose OF Introducing inferior machines-viz, The
ButtonHole Dodge" ''The OverSeaming," ''The
Double Lock knot-Stitch, ""Eastie Stitch, ,""Twist
ed Loop "Set Adjusting Tensions, )" Hing Finish
| and Beautifully Ornamened," "Straight Needle, y
stitch Alkc-on,b oth.sides" Medals from Fairs
Feed" and last and worst of all, the low-priced-
Family shuttle Machines"
Many of these points are desirable, (and the
Singer eXcells all i'll each individual speciality 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 ignoranly represent that the ma
chine sold by them is capable of doing every vare-
! ty OF work, equal to the Singer, aud often do they
| thus unconsCously swindle customers who cannot
| AFFORD to squander their substance upon gllded
! ule1 and worthless rattc-traps.
Parties in quest of a Sewing Machine should look
about them and learn what machine is most eXten-
sivey used in families tailor shops, shoe factories,
and carriage factories. II is an acknowledged fdct,
more than t,o-thirds Of all the clothing rorn in this
country By both seces, ioheher custom made or ready
MADE, as actually manufactured upon TIE SINGER
| SEWING MACHINE
These Machines are manufactured by one of the
| oldest, strongest and most eDterprlslnS Compan-
| les that has been engaged in the business i'll
| the world. Throughout their immense manuac-
tories, which Kept in constant operation day
and night" none but highly skilled mechanics are
employed Newly improved machinery is EN-
pOyed turning out each part finished to that me-
chanical eXactness, that every one Is perfect du.
pcate of the other in size, weight and finish All
| new inventions carefully examined aud tested
| and if approved, adopted, regardless of eX
pense, while the many impractical humOugs 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
membered that the Singer Manufacturing Com
pany has never made poor Machine-irom tn,
very first twenty-odd years ago. They never buy
editorial notices or eXpend funds in "log rolling
at Fairs to gain medals premiums
They simply make their Machines as valuable as
money and science can perfect them-place then
in their Sales Rooms, and leave the public to hnC
out their virtues in their own way. BY this straight
forward course they are now manufacturing abou
four hundred per day, and at that rate even, are
unable to supply the demand
