THE SINGER SEWING MACHINES.
SEWING MACHINE SALES FOR 1873.


The table OF Sewing Machine Sales for lS-3
shows that our sales last year amounted To
232, 4ff two hundred and thirty-two thous-
and, four hundred and fOrty-iourl Machines
being a large increase over the sales Of the pre-
yious year tlS72l
The table also shows that our sales Exceed
those Of any other Company, for the period
named, by the number Of II3.2Jf Machines,
or nearly double those OF any other Company.
IL NAV further be stated that the sales Of 1873
as compared with those OF 1872, show a relative
ly larger increase, beyond the sales OF other
makers than of any other year.
For instance, in iS72 we sold $4,000 more
than any other Company, whereas, in 1873, the
saICs we're II3.25f Machines in Excess Of
our Highest Competitor.
These figures are all the more remarkable,
for the reason that the sales Of the principal
Companies in 1873 are LESS THAN THEIR
SALES IN 1872, whereas, as has been shown,
OUR SALES HAVE LARGELY INCREASED
The account OF sales is from returns made 10
the owners OF the Sewing Machine patents.
II will hardly be denied that the superiority
or the SINGER MACHINES Is fully demon
strated-at all events, that their popularity in
the household is unquestionable.
