The Singer Sewing Machine.

Over one million and a half in use. The
the world. As an evidence, the Singer, Rem
iugton and Wheeler & Wilson were invented
about the same time and put into market, and
at the present day the Singer has over one
iuilon and half in use, the Wheeler 4 Will
son has about five hundred thousand and the
Remington has the small, Insignificant num-
Der o. five thousand nine hundred and fifty
three, which can be seen on the upper end OF
the needle burr which makes the Remington
the last choice OF the people, and they would
not have sold one quarter that number had
they not odd them under 4 fictitious name.
Eor many years the Remington machine COM
pany have attempted to force their machines
on the market as the Remington, but failed,
which reminds me of several occurrences.
Fifteen years ago the third day OF July, / was
in Bloomington Illinois, stopping with q
friend by the name of ID. IL. Horner. There
were two agents at the place, the Wheeler Il
Wilson and the Remington. The Wheeler g.
Wilson agent had confidence enough in his
machine TO sell it on Its own reputation, but
the Remington agents confidence Jailed him.
ami he attempted to sell 1t as the improved
Weed. Some i've years ago, while i was sell
ing the Howe, l happened to meet an agent
that was selling the Remington. lie had as
little confidence IN his machine As the 1rst
one l met, and he attempted to sell it as tie
improved Howe, and have been creditably
informed that the Remington agents are sell
ing their machines here as the improved
Singer, which is false. There is no improved
Singer except the original one, which cannot
be sold in the Southwest except by or
through me. Those who wish to buy the
Remington are welcome to, but deem it my
duty to inform the good people OF the South
west, through the columns of your paper, SO
they will not be imposed upon in buying ina
chimes. 4 machine that cannot be sold on
its own reputation should not be sold ON the
merits of machine that has been long tried
and proved, without doubt, the best in the
world. The impositions offered are OF the
deepest dye. W. MASON,
General Agent for the Southwest.
