Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1877-12-11

1t is not surprising when a gentleman wishes
to purchase an article which he desires to last
him a lifetime, he would take anything that is
brought unsolicited to his home or buy the first
article of the kind offered him. Now, if that ar
ticle should be "a SEWING MACHINE. Ifyou
fail to examine the superior merits of the DA-
Wis and test its qualities, you will be in the
same category with scores of others in this and
Rock bridge counties, who purchased other ma
chimes and now wish they oWaea the DAVIS.
From all directions hear of my machine be-
ing denounced as worthless, by parties who are
interested in the sale of others. An agent of the
Singer said to lady friend of mine, 1.-THE Davis
won't last no time, it will soon wear out, 1 saw
an old Davis out in The country the other day,
it was perfect old rattle-trap, and the. lady
had only used 1t 3 or years." All he said may
be true, and he could have said the salae of the
"old Singer"
/ DO naE sen the '.old navis." 1t is the NEW
ONE / SELL, and it ia warranted for tfUe years.
For the consolation of that agent will say
that some ladies appreciate the merits of his
machine, as eyinced by the fact that 1 sold to a
lady one had taken in exchange for Davis.
One agent for another machine said THAI fal-
