of any machine sell you breaks within two
years will give a new part free. For IL
years l have sold these machines and but few
have ever asked me for repairs. During this

machines claiming them to be good. But
they were not as good. Most of these COM

mers do not know who supply them
with repairs. Not with this company.
Their march has been onward and upward
and now they make over l 90. 900 machines
