known and popular "Davis Sewing
Machine" They arc as happy as
tho day is long. They make every,
body with whom they have dealings
feel the same. Why is it? They
are med from the ordinary paths of
life, chosen more for their honesty
and responsibility than OH account
of mechanical skill, because this
"Davis" machine is tue very acme
of mechanical simplicity and requir-
es no skill in its manipulation. One

house amply demonstrates this fact
and its advantages become at once
apparent. 1t does not take the la
dy long to decide in favor Of this
machine. finding. as she does. that
she can do work OH 1t that would be
impossible on machines of the under

any knowledge of the Davis and
other machines, will tell you with
out hesitation that the Davis is in
comparably the BEST. Not only will
it perform more than double the
work possible with any other ma
chine, but the work is done with
halt the exertion and with an ease
that is as pleasing as it is surpris-
Ing.

finally decided TO recommend to Coun-
I'll that this last offer be accepted.
Considerable discussion was had, how.
before this was arrived at,
as to whether the rental at present re.
ceiyed from the small building was not
good enough interest TO warrant helding
lie property for a time longer, and
whether the sale otglch asmall slice OIL
the south side would not perhaps iniure
the value Of the remaining lO1 ieet 'front.'
