His Trials and Ultimate Success.
In October. 1874, he formed rough wood
and wire model, which sewed by using two
threads, with the aid of shuttle and
curved needle, with the eye near the point.
He had not the means to buy the raw mate
rial necessary to make machine after his
model A friend, Mr.. George Fisher, ad-
first sewing machine in May, l545. This
machine sewed all the seams of two suits
of wooden clothes, and the sewing outlasted
the cloth.
Doubt and Opposition.
Mr.. Howe was at first told that if this
machine should prove successful cit would
reduce all tailors to beggary )" Its practical
value was also doubted. 1t was smiled at
as an ingenious toy although on one occa-
sion it sewed five seams faster and betteI
than they could be sewed by five of the
swiftest sewers that could be found. How
ever, it was
Patented In September, 1s46.
Still, not purchaser could be had, and his
friend Fisher-who had advanced him about
$1,000 for tools and materials, and to main
tain his family while he was completing his
observation-disclosures disheartcned and gave
up all hopes of it.
First Bought and Used in England.
In October, 1876, his brother Amasa 3.
Howe, took the machine to England, where
it was approved and purchased by William
Thomas, of Cheapside, London, for $50
pounds sterling. This sum also gave Mr..
Thomas the right to use as many others il
his business as he desired. Mr.. Thomas
then had the invention patented in Eng
land; but he broke his promise to pay Mr..
Howe 3 pounds for every machine sold. 1t
has been estimated that Mr. Thomas has
received profit of 81 100000 from the $50
pounds be invented in this machine.
Trials In England-Resurnt to America.
Being extremely poor, with family to
support, and receiving no encouragement in
this country, Elias Howe, Jr, went to Lon
don with his family, in 1S47. and there
worked for Mr.. Thomas, adopting the ma
chine to the manufacture of cOrsets. But
owing to dishonorable treatment, Mr. Howe
separated from Thomas, although his ext
gences were such that he was compelled to
sell machine for pounds, (though worth
so ponnds), and also to pawn lis first ma
chine and letters patent. to pay bis expenses
back to America. He reached New York,
after two years absence, in April, 1S49, with
but fifty cents in his pocket. Here he found
employment in ms chine shops. But his sor-
rows we're nov increased by the death Of
his wife. in Cambridge, Mass, (where this
great public benefaetOr now, too, lies buried)
and by the loss of all his household goods,
which had been embarked in vessel
wrecked off Cape Cod.

of Elias Howe, Jr Master of Mechanics, that
" This machine is mechanically correct, and does
not CHANGE" and hence they have been com

Factories, Number of Operatives, etc.
For several years Immediately previous to
his death, Mr.. Howe was actively engaged
in increasing the facilities for manuflctur-
ing these Sewing Machines at Bridgeport,
Conn. He succeeded in organizing a COM
plete system, combining perfection of work
manship with the largest production, at the
smallest cost. In order to obtain these re-
suits, time labor, money, and the experience
freely contributed; and, further to facilitate
the manufacture and sale,
The Howe Machine Company
was organized, and the business is carried
on in that name, under the supervision of
his son-in-iaw, Alden B. Stockwell, Presi-
dent, and Levi S. StOckwell. Treasurer, of
the Company. The number employed at
Bridgeport, Conn.,, on machines alone, is
about 1900; at Peru, Ind, on all the wood
work used, about $50; in Glasgow, Scot
land, on machines alone, about 1000; and in
New York city about $50; making total of
about 1000 operatives when all the facto-
ries are running in full, and producing, as
we nave said, about 800 machines per day.
The number of styles is about Is, ranging
from $50 to $3.50, according to amount of

with other facts of Importance to all buyers
and users.
HOwe's First Attempt.
Elias Howe, Jr., Inventor of the Sewing
Machine, was born at Spencer Mass, in
1919. (He died in Brooklyn, l.. L., in 1867. }
His father was farmer and miller. He
worked in the mill at an early age, al d
there received his first idea of machinery
He was subsequently, employed in factories
and machine shops in Lowell, Cambridge
and Boston. He married at the age Of u,
being then a ipurneyman machlnisI at SO
week. In lS43, when extremely poor, he
first conceived the idea of a machine for
sewing. At first lie invented "A needle,
pointed at both ends, with the eye in the
middle, that should work up and down
through the cloth, and carry the thread
