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
nally 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 are of
| much assistance to the housewife and the industri-
Gus seamstress. Parties purchasing sewing ma
chine of any sort, find the improvement on the old
fashioned way of sewing by hand SO great and
led to believe that they have the BEST until the spell
is broken by the introduction of the Singer Of 1870

Many of these points are desirable, (and the

the greatest made of these special points, is by
the retail agent who parades them before the mex

These Machines are manufactured by one of the
