The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1883-10-26

We see that the "W HITE' Sewing Ma
chine has again won the victory. A veal
ago, the Mich. S. M. & o. Co., took FIRST
premium on the WHITE" mt st. Johns
and at that time the local dealer declared
this should not be done again. SO he de
liberately prepared for the contest. He
arranged nice booth, entered Domestic,
Davis" and Household" machines. with
Mr.. Banker (the best operator the Davis
Co. had) and one other expert to work the
Davis" and Mr. Stevens (Gen'l travelling
agent for Domestic" Co. and two Other
fine operators to run the Domestic
Making flee fine operators to work against
the force sent out by the Mich. s. M. & o.
Co. TO work the WHITE. Yet the
WHITE" carried off first premium. and
Blue Ribbon on .fDe specimens (all the work
entered) done on the WHITE"
When we consider the strong opposition
this victory can be better appreciated. Nc
doubt the WHITE" really merits the
highest premium, but it requires energy
and push on the part of the agents to
bring out the good points. To show the
completeness of the victory we copy few
locals from st. Johns papers:
What captured the fair sex was the al
most endless specimens of fancy work
done on the White, Domestic and Davis
sewing machines, and the several opera
tors were busily engaged in turning out
additional specimens before the eyes OF
the interested multitude. The WHITE
showed the largest assortment of work
and carried off FIRST premium
Johns Independent.
The PREMIUM SEWING MACHINE, the
"WHITE" which took the cake at our
County Fair and has taken the Blue Rib
bon all over the State, should be handled
by some of our dealers in st. Johns'-ln.
dependent.
The hottest contest mt our late County
Fair was between the WHITE" the
domestic" and Davis" sewing machines,
but the "WHITE" took the Blue Ribbon,
rs it has done all over the State.- 81.
Johns Republican.
IT rs WONDERFUL how still and easy
the "WHITE" sewing machine does such
a great runge of work. 1t sewed from
thin cloth through lead, an iron spoon, q
shingle and back to thin cloth without
change of tension. OF course it took the
Blue Ribbon, it always does.-St. Johns
Republican.
Last week at the meeting of the Board
of Directors, the local agent entered pro
test asking to have some Of the decisions
of the judges reversed. The Board, after
celebrating upon Mr.. Reeds paper, ant
the answer Of Mr.. T. J. Wilcox--in be
half of the Mich. 8. M. & o. Co.--ont
member of the Board moved that vot.
of thanks be rendered the Mich. s. M. &
o. Co., which was carried unanimously
