paper the Spang New Family Sewing
Machines at very low prices; some per-
sons think they are too low to be.good.

were sewing machines sold in this coun-
try and in this county for $50, and

of them have not cost five cents for re.

ing as any S75 or Sl75 machine ever
sold. This was done while metal was
selling at not less than $50 per ton,
labor more than double what it is to-
day. To-day metal is worth about $40
per ton, labor very low, why can they
not be sold at these low prices ard at
profit? Further, the improved ma.
chinery th,re is now for working metal,
iron ard steel, or anything else, is
more than four times what it was
twenty years ago. Ten years ago /
