The immense business of the Howe Sewing
Machine Company OF this city may be conceived
from the fact that they have manufactured
during the seven months OF this year. ending
August /, SO, 600 Sewing Machines.
They manufactured in the twenty-five work
ing days of July, 1880 completed machines,
which Is 500 machines for each working day,
besides manufacturing the full parts OF l25
machines daily, which are sent from here to
their factory In Scotland, to be set up or ''as
sembled . Ii will be seen from this that this
one maau'actory is making over one frst.class
Sewing Machine per minute. during every work
ing day of the year. This company, with all
its faculties, are unable to keep up with Its
orders, aud is doing everything possible to in
crease them.
1t can safely be computed that they will COM
plets not less than 10000 Sewing Machines
the present year. and as the lowest wholesale
price of their cheapest machine is S45, the
product of their manufacture will not be less
than q, 500 900.

of manufacturing industries Of this city, but
