From the above figures it will be seen that
our rivals in trade far behind rs, that the
popularity Of what is known as our NEW
FAMILY SEWING MAO HINE is steadily and
larpelv increasing. We are not so vain as to
suppose that these large sales are due to supe-
of or machines. as well as the observation of
those who buy and use, and are personally in
terested 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, 10
speak in laudation of our manuii curing ma
chimes, but in the same breath to deny the
merits of our machine for family sewing. II
was usual to say TO lady looking for II 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 Nee Fon,iig" was our greatest triumph,
and even then the iavorite, ever ready and
never wcarying seamstress Of many q well reg
ulatcd household. Our machine, however, told
rs own story in the great range and variety Of
excellent and beautiful family sewing which it
is capable Of doing. snd the sales show that It's
story was not entirely disbcleved or We would
not have sold last year 30 500 mac hines, being
more than twice as many machines as there are
words in the nglish language, and all this has
been accomplished with little aid from cxhiLi-
lions and fairs, excepting only the worlds fair
constituted by the homes Of the people
where we received the great award Of the high
est sales.
