4 MACHINES have been sold in this cltv f.,
the past fifteen years, and given better satisfac.

Of prominent citizens have voluntarily given ibos
testimonials and the variable success of other n,
chimes In the time fully corroborates the ,,a,s
cheap machines. Very many of our citizens bor.
been humbugged by The oil story put forth by
those selling snch machines, that they were e0uay
% good ss any itst-class machines and soma
have tie audsclty 10 claim that they are even ba,
te all IN ly warranted fer five years. The ayen,.
for the same mi ht represent them for I've m onth,
chimes would be in order, and then the owner Of
the machine must get the machine needles, re-
pairs, &C., the best way they could, no one being
responsible for the guarantee.
The success OF any such machine In its sales I.
no reason why It should awaken any malicious
feelings with any of the old-established compa.
nies for 1t does not, and we take occasion 70 DENY
It not only for ourselves, but for others. We do
not care bow MANY machines are sold By any such
parties, for the people soon learn 10 discI Inmate
and we in the end sell more machines.
When thsy have talked enough about old-estab.
lished BUSINESS houses being humougs, and the
large Gales made by the cheap machine GONNA.
niles, and their books will show that their talk can
be verified, they will he looked after BY tie pro.
per authorities and madet to pay for the use OF
their own (so-calledl patents. The cry OF hum.
buggery and that the representatives Of any first.
class machine cares how many cheap machines
are sold OF. fears their success, Is mere use Of
words used TO Gelude those who do not un.
derstapd 1t and that we sell ours by rum
ming theirs aswG. Is SO far from the truth
that we unhesitatingly say that We do not even
consider them honorable competitors Tor any
thorough machinist viii see by comparison Tint
the only competition is In the price. Any state
ment to the contrary Is Insult to the good sense
Of the people and u lib:l upon the reputation OF
any good mechanic who understands workman
ship and good principles. No first. class company
fears honorable com petition, but The competition
with the cheap trash foisted upon the market,
pretending to save the purchaser so much mouey,
is something that exists only In name and Is no
credit to the established companies TO recognize !;
and the cry Of hum 5uggery would more properly
belong to those who make II az tInst US, Is the
record OF the past fully shows. We sell the Grover
& Baker machines. AMI do il Siih)ut abusing any.
body ee or heir mach nes and do not believe
that a deserving p7ople VIII long patroD!le any
company that resorts to other meas.
They are sold on liberal monthly terms, and
sufficient guarantees given Tor their satisfactory
working and utility.
We sell machines at S25 and &35 which We will
guarantee to be as good as any cheap machines In
this Market but do not guarantee them to be a.
good as the GROVER & BAKER or any other
hrst-class machines, nor win any amount Of tslk
make them or any other cheap macnnes as good.
