The nineteenth century will be record
ed as the most prolific In discoveries and /
inventions of any in the history of the
world. The telegraph, the telephone,
the electric light, the typewriter and
the sewing machinei with numbers Of
Others many Of VIII ich have be c. me In. |
Indispensable, will stand while the world |
lasts M monuments Of the skill, ingenui- |
| ty and patient research Of the men of |
the present age.
But among them all, perhaps the
most import tant, because II enters
more into the daily affairs of life, ia the
sewipg machine, and the inventors
when they studied and planned day and
might for many weary months 10 perfect
a machine that would save the drudgery /
of sewing ny hand, never dreamed Of
1.-The revolution IL would accomplish in |
tho affairs of the world, or that the day
would come in less than fifty years
when the great labor-saving invention |
would be found in almost every house |
lin the land. Neither could they bavel
supposed that other ingenious minds |
would add improvement after improve. |
Iment, until now, even novice can dol
work such as WAS. never thought OF by
Ihand workers.
The original ideas of these men were |
what all had az basis on which to |
Iwork, and almost every improvement
Iadded has been the means of forming a |
lnew company, until there are III illi0ns
lof dollars Invested, ard thousands Of
linen and women employed In the manu-
fac.ure and eale of sewing machines.
A mopg those who have for long
thine occupied prominent place az
agent and salesm an of machines In this
lefty are Messrs. Samuel Speakman and
Thomas Grinsell both OF whom are
well known for their long and active
connection with the Singer Company,
the first named having had an expe.
rience OF sixteen years, during which
he has sold over 10, ,000 machines, three
! fourths of which were disposed of in
this State, the total aggreGating 5000, 600.
Mr.. Grinsell has also been with the
Singer Company for number Of years,
and enjoys an excellent reputation AZ q
saiesman, and as fully understanding
Ieverything connected with the bushes
I | About the middle of last month theee
gentlemen rendered their designations
for the purpose Of engaging In business
for themselves.
In starting for themselves there were
a 1.-TWO things TO be considered; the first
was to secure the exclusive agency for
one or more machines, each of which
y Icomb bined all known improvements,a and
tsecond, to obtain suitable place for
the prosecution Of their business, and
Iwhere their expenses would be light, 30
THAT they would be enabled TO sell at
the lowest price. As soon as the differ.
lent manu- facturers learned Of their in
ltention to engage in business for them.
4 SO ives, they were almost overwhelmed
with offers of various machines, but
they finally concluded to select the New
tCrown machine, manufactured by the
old established Florence Company, of
Florence, Massachusetts, and the New
Homo machine, manufactured at
Orange, Massachusett as in their opin'
l., ion these two combined everything de-
sirable in a sewing machine.
AS place for conducting their bust
ness they secured the building at No.
10 East Seventh street, which they have
fitted up In O handsome manner, and
= fully stocked, not only with sewing
machines, but also variety of other
articles. The New Crown machines
rank among the best for simplicity dur.
sbility and effectiveness. They com
bine all the desirable qualities to be
found in any machine, and are in every
respect adapted for general use in fami-
: lies, and Mr.. 6peakman has expressed
buS tudb IL 10 tiO uCst hhh uicot
. perfect machine manufactured. The
shuttle ia self I'll reading, and holds 90
yards OF cotton, saving the necessity Of
frequently winding the bobbin, which
Is NO Objectionable in other machines.
al There Is no threading on top, eX-
!" cept through the eye of the needle, and
IL 1t has a perfect loose pulley for winding
!" bobbins, dispensing with the top motor
i. used on other machines, and which are
30 liable to get out of order. Will
IS. each machine there is complete set o.
nickel plated attachments in n velvet
lined case, which is handsome and
ORNAMENTAL. The Duplex Crown ma
lg chine can be easily changed, so tba
1t will make chain as well as a lock
L stick, and the change can he effected il
half q minute. The machine is o re
VI cent invention of the Florence Company
and its superiority has only been attain
ed after long and patient toll, and ;
tc series OF experiments extending owe
ID many years. The New Homo, the othe
machine for which they have til,
Exclusive agency for this State is als
H. first class in every respect, and com
bines simplicity, durability, reliability
Ojspeed, strength and beauty.
The manufacturers claim that 1t IL
uuequalled for ease OF management,ant
capacity for wide range of work. In ad
10 Idition to these very excellent machines
Messrs. Speakman & Grinsell have tht
.. Florence oil heating stoves, that are no

IL bath rooms, coneervatories, bed rooms
IN and in fact any cold corner of thu

y'iavailable. Placed in the dining room
Iofa cold morning when the fire Is low
they insure comfortable breakfas
hour, to say nothing of severe chill
which is not unfrequently the primary
cause OF protracted illness.
Purchasers of the heating stoves
n can readily supply themselves with the
cook drum for summer use, which II
ready for service at all times, as easily
lighted as q lamp, and diapenses will

coal fire during the heated term. Tht
