THE SINGER MANUFACTURING CO..
sold in the United States S6,7S1 Machines.
I'm 1920,
We sold 127 1893 Machines, showing an excess
beyond the sales of 1869 of over 10000, and as
shown below over forty-four thousand Ma
chimes more than any other company.
The reader may naturally ask If this is mere
boasting; in answer to which we have to say,
that those figures, and the ones given below,
arc from sworn returns made by licensees to
the receiver appointed by the owners of the
most valuable sewing machine patents, who
license the companies of lesser Importance.

1000 more than any other company.
Some people may say that the cause OF leav-
ing our rivals so far behind, is because the
Singer has more agents at work in the field,
but this is by no means the case. For can
say that have sold at this agency SiSty-FouT

WE request the Ladies. and all others want
ing perfect Sewing Machine, to judge from
personal examination, this superior and excel
lent Machine. It rs no exaggeration to say
that it will execute greater variety Of sewing,
with fewer attachments and less labor, than
any Machine in the world! 1t is @ decided inn
provement on the older Machines in market !;
and the superior Skill Workmanship and ma
terials Employed in it's construction are guar
antee of accuracy, strength and durability, and
enable the Company and its Agents to WAR
RANT EVERY MACHINE THEY SELL 10 GIVE
ENTIRE SATISFACTION
1t is comparatively noiseless, and runs with
such case that the most delicate female can
operate it all day without fatigue. a Philadel-
phia weekly, speaking of this Machine, says ::
''In New England, the home of the. Sewing
Machine, the American Bhttonhole Machine
is without rival. Because it VIII do every
thing that any Machine can do, sewing from
the finest to the coarsest material, hemnnng,
telling, cording, braiding binding, gathering
and sewing on at the same time, quilting, ETC.,
letter than any other Macine. 2. Because the
tensions are more easily adjusted: 8. Because
il can work beautiful buttonhole, making as
fine pearl as by the hand. 4. Because it will
elnbroider over the edge, making a neat and
beautiful border OH any garment 6. because
it will work a beautiful eyelet hole. 6: Be
cause it can do overland Scanning, by which
sheets. pillow-cascs and the like are sewed
over and over. Z. Because YOU can quickly
raise and lower ti1c feed to sdapt it to thick or
thin cloth. s. Because you have short, deep
bobbin, by which the thread is constantly
drawn from the centre, the tension is consc-
ouontly cven Q. Because tho presscr-foot
turns back, that tho cloth may be easily re-
moved after being scwed. Because it is two
Machines in one, and has no springs to break,
and nothing to get out of ordor."

ANECDOTE OF ARTEMUs WARD

In his lecture on Artemus Ward, Mark
Twain tells the following:
When Artemus was very young, he and
a companion got hold of pack of cards and
learned to play euchre. Artemus was per-
fectly fascinated with the game, and played
it as often as he had an opportunity; but it
had to be done on the sly, and he had to
hide his cards from his parents. So, when
he was looking out for place to hide them,
the boys thought the safest place where they
could put the cards was in the pocket of the
minister's black gown, under the very egis
of the church. don't know what agis
means, but it's a good word, and l suppose
it's all right. Well, the old minister was call
ed on to baptize convert, and as he went
down into the water wearing a gown, the
cards began to come up to the surface and
float off. The boys, who were on the bank
watching, though in great fear, kept their
eyes on the cards. As it happened, there
came up first two bowers and three aces.
Of course, the boys were thrashed, and an
old aunt of Artemus proceeded to lecture
him on the enormity of the crime. "Why,"
said she, Gust imagine how the poor man
must have felt when he saw the cards COM
ing up! l should have thought he would have
tainted, and don't see how he got out"
"Well, said Artemus, II don't see how
be could help going out on such hand"
