These Machines by their simplicity durability and
have gained reputation truly

The famous success of the SINGER MANUFACTURE
ING COMPANY has stimulated many other compan-
les to put forth all their energies and talents to
produce sewing machine that would eclipse or
equal the Singer, but in every case they have sig-
nay failed, as is plainly shown by the fact, that Of
| all the travelling agents-'runners or drummers"
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

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 neighbours family, which is sure by the In

kind of plain or fancy sewing, to awaken them to

SEWING MACHINEf
| These Machines are manufactured by one of the
oldest, strongest, and most enterprising Compan-
les that has ever been engaged in the business in

tories, which are kept in constant operation day
and night" none but highly skilled mechanics are

and if approved, are adopted regardless of ex.

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-from the
very first twenty-odd years ago. They never buy
editorial notices. or expend funds in 'log -rolling'
at Fairs to gain medals or premiums.
| 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
out their virtues in their 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.
