332, ,4f4 two hundred and thirty-twO thOus-
and, four hundred and forty-four) Machines,

those of any other Company, for the period
named, by the number of II3.25A Machines,

as compared with those Of 1872, show a relative
ly larger Increase, beyond the sales OF other
makers than of any other year.
