The Singer Sewing Machine.

: Over one million and half In use. The
most durable and highest running machine in
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 CAV the Singer has over one
million and half in use, the Wheeler & viii
son has about five hundred Thousand and the
Remington has the small Insignificant num-
Der of five thousand nine hundred and inv.
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 hal
they not sold them under q fictitious name
For 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
friend by the name of ID. Ii. Horner. There
were two agents at the place, the Wheeler &
Wilson and the Remington. The Wheeler Il
Wilson agent had confidence enough in his
machine to sell it on Its own reputation, but
the Remington agents confidence failed him,
and he attempted to sell It as the improved
Weed. Some five years ago, while was SELL
ing the Howe, happened to meet an agent
that was selling the Remington. He had as
little confidence In his machine as the first
one met, and he attempted to sell it as the
| improved Howe, and have been credltably
informed that the Remington agents are SELL
ing their machines here as the improved |
H. s., -. =
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 1 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 ma
chimes. A machine that cannot be sold on
its own reputation should not be sold on the
merits OF a 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.
