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 Il sewing machine that would eclipse or
equal the Singer but in every case they have sig
nay failed, rs is plainly shown by the fact that OF
all the travelling agents-'rInners 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 oucreu 10

much assistance to the housewife and the ndustr-

membered that the Singer Manufacturing Com
pany has never made a poor Machine-from the
very first twenty-odd years ago. They never buy
editorial notices. or expend funds in ''logrolling"
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 own way. BY this straight
