A Huge Concern.

The manufacturers of the Genuine
Singer Machine state these facts !:
That they employ forty thousand
persons and eighty thousand horses.
Have their own steamboat and loco
motive transporting machines and
material between New York and
their Immense factory at Elizabeth.
N. J. The total estimate of offices
throughout the world is over four
thousand five hundred. Their fac
tory covers an area of thirteen acres
of ground, and every square foot is
daily used, beside most Of the shops
are three and four stories. The box
ing and Grating shop alone cut over
one hundred thousand feet of lumber
per day for boxing and cratIng ma
chimes. TIE drive the machinery in
this enormous affair six stationary
engines are required, which have the
combined strength of one thousand
horse power. -Four hundred men
are employed in the foundry, which
melts up sixty tons of iron every day
in the week. Just imagine two
acre field filed every day with cast
ings for sewing machines. The ne
cessity for this great factory Is the
constant demand for the Genuine
Singer machine, as the following will
show: In the year 1873 three-quar.
tiers of all the machines sold through
out the world were Genuine Singers.
and the following year they increas-
ed their sales over one hundred and
thirty eight thousand, and during
the year 1880 they sold over half a
million Genuine Singer Machines.
Still the demand is greater than the
supply. as subordinate offices often
have to wait fer machines. To those
who contemplate buying we would
say: Be on the safe side and buy
the Genuine Singer, and don't he
humbugged with some new kind of
machine that has lately come out,
and has no reputation or merit what
ever. If you wish a Genuine Singer
no Bogus call on or address I. w.
Slonaker, Oakland, Md, who is agent
for this world renowned Sewing
Machine.
N. B. Singer agents will adjust
the Singer Machine wherever they
find it, free of charge, regardless Of
the time it has been in use.

by the Treasurer OF which there was net available ball
ance belonging to the Treasury OF $14s,000OOO. On
October the total OF held for all pur-
noses in round numbers aggregated $33O,677OoO or
which amount the available balance for the Treas
ury Department was about $l42,5OO,OOO From the
latter amount should be deducted $2,000OOO OF bonds
purchased which included in the cash, leaving
$40 100000 OF available cash. The payment oil the
called bonds falling due October l. reduced the amount
of money held at that time considerably below the
amount held on September l. The amount determined
upon as reserve fund for the purposes OF resumption
as 40 per cent OF the outstanding legal tender notes.
