THE attention Of all interested in sew

ED. BULLETIN
Dear Sir:-Allow me through the
columns Of your valuable paper to cor
rect some erroneous reports that are being
circulated in some parts of this county,
in regard to the american Combination
Sewing Machine" by persons interested
in and for other sewing machines. To
show to the public the alsurdity of these
reports, will mention few of them as
coming direct from those acting as agents
for other machines The first report con-
corning the durability of the american
Combination" was that it would wear
out in less than six months with common
usage; the last, as reported, was that no
one could use these machines too months
without its resulting in the machine com
ing to pieces and being entirely worth
less, and other reports of the same tenor.
AS concerns such reports as these
have but little to say, as 1t is evident to
every unprcjudiced mind that any per
son circulating such reports is so preju-
diced as to start any report that they
may hope to be injurious to the sale OF
those machines, and are 80 void of true
manly sense as to try to force civilized
people to believe them. The point to
which | wish to call particular attention
is this, that one acting as blocer onty
for another machine, (not being allowed
the rights of an agent,) so abuses the
highest and noblest gift of his Maker
that of truthfulness. as to state to one
who had purchased an eighty dollar
Coordination Machine" that the same
priced machine had been sold by me to
another party in this county at forty six
dollars l will here state that this report
is an absolute falsehood, and that l defy
the person who made this statement TO
point out single instance where | have
deviated from the regular price of said
machines For the merit of the "Amcri

will here state that I am fully. prepared
to warrant these machines as being all
that is claimed for them, and for home
proof of this | have abundant witnesses
who have Fought machines of me since
July 4th, who are using them with the
best of success. TO those who are inter

toned reports will say, that as men who
avoid the expense of patronizing theil
county papers as a means of directing
public attention to machines worthy OF
merit, but take the cowardly way Of ira

chase of the american Combination,
and endeavoring to divert their attention
from these machines by such absurd re
ports it is not strange that such men vii
when defeated resort to the lowest mean.
