From the above figures il will be seen that
our rivals in trade are far behind as, that the
popularity of what is known as our NEW
FAMILY SEWING MACHINE is steadily and
largely Increasing. We are not so vain as to
suppose that these large sales are due to supe-
riOr business capacity so much as to the merits
of orr machines. as well as the observation of
those who buy and use, and are personally in
tcrested in comparing the merits of the differ
ent machines before making a selection.
Few have denied, in fact it has been the hab-
it OF sewing machine dealers, till recently, to
speak in laudation Of our manuli curing ma
chimes, but in the same breath to deny the
merits of our machine for family sewing. 1t
was usual to say TO lady looking for sew
ing machine, If, madam, you want manu-
featuring machine, the Singer is the best" as
if we made but one kind of machine only, and
had no Fomiiy sewing machine at all, though
our New Fomity" was our greatest triumph,
and even then the tavorite, ever ready and
never worrying scamstress of many well reg
uatcd household Our machine, however, told
us own story in the great range and variety OF
excellent and beautiful family sewing which it
is capable of doing. and the sales show that its
story was not entirely disbclievcd or we would
not have sold last year l27 1913 machines, being
more than twice as many machines as there are
words in the English language, and all this ha.
been accomplished with little aid from exhibit
lions and fairs, excepting only the worlds fair
