A Huge Concern.

The manufacturers of the Genuine
singer Machine state these facts !:
That they eriploy forty thousand
,Iersuns and eighty thousand horses.
Have their own steamboat and loco-
alative 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. The boxing and
Grating shop alone cut three hum
dred thousand feet of lumber per
month for boxing and cratIng ma.
chimes. To 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 1878 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 for machines. To those
who contemplate buying we would
say: Be on the safe side and buy
the Genuine Singer, and don't be
humbugged with some new kind of
machine that has lately come out,
and has no reputation or merit what.
ever. Ifyou wish Genuine Singer
mo Bogus call on or address 1. 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.
