FOUR HUNDRED THnuSANn

of their Machines in use, although having ex-
listed but sir gears, while the Company which
claims to have the most in use has only about
twice that number, though having existed for
ttceaty gears. They are now manufacturing
over six hundred daily, or one per minute,
and at that rate can hardly supply the de-
mand
Very many persons are in need of first
class Sewing Machine, yet do not feel quite
ready to pay the full price at once, and are
sometimes led into purchasing an inferior ma
chine, at less cost, because machine Of some
kind is really NEEDED in every family. And
then again some say, 81 will get me cheap
machine now it will perhaps do my work
at present, and win learn TO run amachinc,
and sometime will get better" To all,
both high and low, we would say: When you
select Sewing Machine You should be as
particular as yon need TO be in selecting
family horse. See that il has reputation
unexceptional see that ii is made for endar-
ance see that it is sound; see that il is always
ready 10 90; see that il has no bad tricks; see
that it can do all kinds of work see that it
is in good health, Sc that il will not need con-
slant docsoring; see that yon get one you can
depend upon to do all the work, and do it
just when you need it done and above all don't
buy balky horse, nor balky machine. A
poor Sewing Machine is worse than none,
and constant source Of trouble. Many of
what are called selling points in a machine arc
simply frivolous, and intended to tickle the
fancy of those who are sold 1t is no great
recommendation in a horse for family use that
it can walk on three legs, and SO useless tricks
in Sewing Machine should be avoided -
Substantial excelenc;es only can stand the
test Of time and use The Howe Machine has
stood the test, and to-day over four hundred
thousand are in use throughout the civilized
world II is not sold al an ddoaace Of
Fifteen Dollars over New York Prices,
like some of its competitors, but is offered on
such easy terms that persons Of moderate in
come can obtain one by paying small monthly
installments, and thus in time become pos
sessed of a machine that IS not cheap in any
sense of the word, but one that will earn its
cost many times over, and be constant source
of relief and comfort.
