MORE ABOUT SEWING MACHINES.
Common Sense-Startling Disclosures
Read Carefully, it will astonish, prof.
.. it, and crafty you.

The manufacturers and agents in the interest
of other Sewing g. Machines, represent that the
AMERICAN SEWING MACHINE is of NO account
That it will wear out in q short time and advise
persons desiring to purchase Sewing Machines to
Buy any other Sewing Machine than an Ameri-
can" The reason they so falsely represent the
American Buttonhole and Overcoming Sewing
Machine ia that their bread and butter depends
upon it, for wherever the American is introduced,
its reputs ton il established and the calling of its
enemies ended. as people will buy no other Ma.
chine The American Buttonhole, Overcoming
and Sewing Machine Company, with its immense
factories and large stores and warerooms in Phil
adelphia, together with its large capital employed
exclusivel in the Sewing Machine interest can.
not and dare not, make anything but the very
best quality of Sewing Machines. 1t has too much
money and interest at stake. No person
should entertain a superstition for moment that
the American Sewing Machine Company would
place upon the market Sewing Machine that is
not first class in every respect; knowing full well
that any other than first class machine would be
total failure and bring financial ruin to its stock
holders chagrin and modification to its officers
and great satisfaction to its enemies and competi
tors. Notwithstanding the unprecedented sue
cess and popularity OF the American Sewing Ma
chine there are still q few incredulous people
easily Influenced by the representations ola few
leading machines and relying on the merits of
is a true test the Wheeler q Wilson lie the second
best In the market, and who will believe that p
net even the man himself that has the article in
the HERALD about Sewing Machines. People at
this time and age of the world are not so easily
humbugged: they read and think for themselves
Now in conclusion have only this to say: Be-
fore buying Sewing Machine, examine every
one in the market and make q Tote of everything
that is said detrimental to the American Machine
then carefully examine tht American, and Grover
& Baker. Try them, tie st them thoroughly, COM
pare them to the representations made regarding
Them by their enemies and you will be perfectly
satisfied that the American, and Grover & Baker
Sewing Machines are good, reliable first class
machines, and you can save ten dollars by buying
either of those machines.

NEEDHAM & WoLTz, whose beautiful
parlors are the remark of all who have
seen them, sent this Office an invitation
last Saturday evening to call over in force,
and partake Office cream and strawberries |;
being particularly fond of those two deli
cacies, we went. Their ice cream was such
as they always make, of the very best, their
strawberries rich, large and delicious, and
their psrlors were arranged in the best
style. The ladies parlor up stairs is as
nicely furnished as any we know of in the
State; neatly papered, finely carpeted, the
windows draped with lace curtains, the
walls hung with beautiful pictur es, forming
a pleasant retreat where the Gehcacies may
be eaten without molestation. These gen.
tlemen also have a complete stock of con-
dictionaries, cigars, etc.. bake fresh bread
every day, get up warm meals at all hours,
and in fact keep a first-class restaurant.

OUR COUNTY FAIR.-On our Supple
ment will be found the new Premium List
for our County Fair, to be held the latter
part of August. More changes have been
made in the list than any previous year.
The premiums have been greatly increased
and many new ones offered all have been
arranged with more system, and we hope
will create even greater interest than
heretofore, and secure good attendance,
not only of persons, but articles. 1t is a
matter of great credit to US throughout the
State that we have such magnificent fairs,
and we believe it adds more to our county
popularity, and does more to attract pub
lie attention to US, than almost anything
else. Our premiums have always been
large; they are this year more 80. They
have always been paid in cash at their
face, and it will always be SO. Persons
competing may be sure that il successful
they will not be discounted one-half or
more as has been done by some societies
On account of depleted treasures. Now is
the time to begin preparations for the
Fair.
