Growth Of the Business

One of the most thriving and prosper
Gus enterprises of the present day is that
conducted by the Domestic Sewing Ma
chine Company, the chief Michigan agen-
cy of which is atANo. PA Jefferson ave
nue., and is in charge of Mr.. B. Eldridge.
The head office of the company is in New
York, where huge building is now be
ing constructed for their occupation on
The corner of Union Square and Broad
way, to be eight stories in height and to
cost 100000 The workshops are at
Providence, r. l., where ey are already
of great capacity and will shortly be in
creased in size
The agency here was est ablished a lit
tie over year ago and at j rst transacted a
small business, which, however, has now
increased to gratifying proportions, an
average OF l5J machines being sold each
week. The company estimates that
throughout the country the, sale of their
machines for the past year will reach fully
1890.

gantly furnished and showing specimen
machines. In the latter, four gentlemen
are now req Tired to transact the office
business, correspondence. ETC., which was
ofimerly carried on by one man with ease
On the second floor the machines are adj
justed in one room and set up in another
On the third floor machines are stored in
large numbers and on the fourth whole

castings on hand is frequently from so to
10 tons, and often the sale of machines is
limited only by the possibility OF obtain
