From the above figures it will be seen that
our rivals in trade are far behind rs, that the
popularity Of what is known as our NEW
FAMILY SEWING MACHINE is steadily aud
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 or machines, as well as the observation Of
those who buy and use, and are personally in
/ crested in comparing the merits of the differ
en- machines before making selection.
eW have denied, in fact it has been the hab-
il of sewing machine dealers, till recently, 10
speak in laudaii0n Of our manuff curing ma
chimes, but in the same breath to deny the
merits Oh our machine for family sewing. 1t
was usual to say to q lady looking for u 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 Family sewing machine at all, though |
our " N,,o Family" was our greatest triumph, |
and even then the favsrite, ever ready and
never wearying seamstresR of many n we'll reg
nlated household Our michine, however, told
its own story in the great range and variety Of
excellent and beautiful family sewing which il
is capable of doing, and the sales show that its
story was not entirely disbelieved or we would .
not have sold last year 127 ,33 machines, being
more than twice as many machines as there are
words in tie English language, and all this has
been accomplished with little aid from exhibit
lions and fairs, excepting only the worlds fair
CONSTRUED by the homes Of the people
where we received the great award Of the high
est sales.
