Mechanical ingenuity eliminated I'm
the invention of the Sewing Machine
and millions of toiling women were cl
evated from drudgery and poverty to
intelligence, industry and competence.
If this be true i'm the abstract as regards
the average sewing machine, with what
force must 1t apply to that marvellous
embodiment of all that Is useful and
beautiful i'm sewing machine mechan-
ism, the Victor Sewing Machine, which
has fairly ecliPscd all others, not only In
its adaptability to do all kinds of work
but in the ease with which 1t is done.
It may be said to have carried its ad-
mirers by storm Us soon rs its c;spabllity
for work became known. The aim Of
its inventor has been to discard every
useless complication peculiar to ordinii-
ry machines, and only familiarity with
the machine will enable our readers to
fully appreciate how far he has succeed
cd. 1t Is not too much to say the ma
chine will last lifetime. SalesroOm 81

Under the title--"American Inven-
tive Progress" Scientific American
of May 9TH, has a long and interesting
article, from which we make the fol-
lowing extracts:
"To show with what rapidity mvcn-
tors made improvements on inventions
cnlbodying original principles, says the
writer, IL may be noted that I'm the ear
ly days of the sewing machine l16 pat
ents were granted for improvements
thereon in a single year; and out Of the
2. OlO patenis issued i'm the year 1857,
Ij2 were for Improved cotton gins and
presses. 1874 for improvements on the
steam engine, and 1903 for novel devices
relating to railroads and improvements
I'm rolling stock. In the year l84S, three
wears after the publication Of this paper
was commenced, but ego patents were
granted: but under the stimulus ofpub-
fishing those inventions as they were
patented, ten years later, In 1858, the
number had increased skiold, reach
ing 3,710, while up to January 1, 1850,
as already stated, the aggregate OF pat
ents issued amounted to 7,467; since
that time and up to the present the to-
tai Is 18l ,015. siif M al
"And curiosity here leads us (adds
the editor) to review our own work, ex-
tending back, say, twenty years, or 10
1857, period during which 170, 745pat-
ents have been issued. We find, by
actual count, that 62,062 applications
have been made through the Scientific
American Patent Agency for Patents
In the United Stntes and abroad. This
averages almost ten applications per
day. Sundays excluded, over the entire
period. and bears the relation Of more
than one quarter TO the total number
Of patents Issued In this country up to
the time Of writing"
