The Singer Sull Triumphant.

AT the Vienna Exhibition the Singer re-
ceived the Medal of Merit, the Medal of Pro-
gress, and three other Medals for superiority
of productions. These are the highest Sew
ing Machine awards at Vienna. The Singer
received all the medals awarded to either of
the competing machines, and two medals
more than any other obtained. Then, in the
name of Truth, what is it that prompts people
to claim recommendations for the Diploma of
Honor. The fact is, no Diploma of Honor
has been given to any Sewing Machine Com
pany.
But immeasurably more valuable is the
WORLDS AWARD as shown by sales-proved
by sworn returns to the owners of the princi-
pal Sewing Machine Patents-which last year
amounted to two hundred and nineteen thou
sand, seven hundred and f1fty-eight (2l9,1 ,15S)
| machines, nine out of ten of them being for
family use. This is over $4,000 more Sewing
Machines than were sold by any other COM
pany during the same period, and over one
quarter of all the machines sold in 1872.
These enormous sales are owing to the long
tested merits of the SINGER Machines, which
meet the wants of the public in superiority
and simplicity of construction and eapability
for great variety and excellence OF work.
That the users of Sewing Machines find these
desirable qualities in the SINGER beyond all
others, is shown by the sales above given,
aside from the awards of international Juries
