ENTERPRISING GENTLEMEN.--J.
A. Stebbins & Co., agents for
the Howe Sewing Machine Compa-
ny in this city, are enterprising gen.
tlemcn, as is attested by the large
number of sales which they make
every duy. So extensive is the BUSH
ness they transact, that they are q
little behind in their orders, and are
obliged 10 use the most extraordinary
efforts TO keep up with the demand
for the machine which they repre-
sent. The Howe Sewing Machines
seem to be the greatest favorite with
the people, if we may be permitted
to judge the large and ready sales
with which they meet. Their sim.
plicity OF construction as we'll rs
marvellous rapidity and accuracy are
wonderful, and challenge the admi-
ration of all. The low price for
which they are sold, though last, is
not the least of their vast advantages.

are bound to become known and
liked by almost every family In the
State.-Dubuque Telegraph.
