Some of Those Which Enlist the At
tentfon of Visitors.
You will say this is proper heading when
you see the magnificent display of ornamental
and fancy work done by the Singer machines
at the Pavilion. AT an adjoining booth is a
congregation OF sewing machines, and here
you find one family as big the whole con-
gregation, fo1 the Singer Company has special
machines for every kind and class of work
that you can imagine, from hemming the
finest cambria handkerchief or stitching In
art embroidery representation of the down
upon q butterfy's wing up to stitching q tug
Tor the heaviest draft harness. There are
special machines for shoemaking stitching
button-holes, and, to our great surprise on e
for sewing on buttons. Indeed the whole ont
side of the booth Is enclosed by a fence made
of machines, each built for different specia |
purpose.
Kensington neutrality-suspicious. are drawn
on the fabric, and the operator uses a family
machine without attachments to work in the
shades and coors to make beautiful pictures
They change the thread as the artist in oil
changes his colors. How they blend them is
more than was revealed, but they make the
figures so life-like that you almost fancy that
the dogs may bark or bite.
Roman embroidery is very fine work, but
very easy to see an artist perform.
Flower pieces are attracting much atten-
ton, particularly q beautiful bouquet of
fuchsias, which the leading lady embroidered
in one evening. Rope silk and gold cord are
leading features, especially for the embroidery
of portieres. Curtains are made of thin
boiling and Ornamented with machine
wrought borders that make them decided
works of art.
Sofa pillows are SO embroidered as to make
elegant ornaments.
COUGHING may be seen IN its perfection as
used for lambrequins, table covers, etc. They
have also beautiful tray cloths and doileys,
1t seems as though some one of these me-
chimes could do everything one could imag-
inc, except to talk, and the ladies do that part
so charmingly that there is no inducement for
inventors in that direction. These goods may
always be found at the rooms of John r. AVIS,
general agent for this district at 500 street.
SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.
That is what we are all looking for and all
can find by visiting the exhibit of A. ]. Pom
mer in the gallery of the Pavilion. In the
first place you see the greatest assortment of
fine sewing machines. including the Improved
Domestic, New Home, Wheeler & Wilson s
New No. 9, White, Standard and Favorite
Then you get present of a fan, Presidential
badge, fancy card, fancy star or fire alarm
card.
Finally you receive a ticket emitting Won to
chance liz the drawing for one of those tine
machines which is to be given away at the
close of the fair.
Seven ladies are engaged in operating these
machines and showing the points in which
each excels. Some other year, when business
in the line of musical instruments does not
keep him quite SO busy at his stores, S29-S31
J street, Mr.. Pommer will exhibit some of his
fine Steinway q Sons, Z. Gobler Bros. and
Pease pianos.
HOME INDUSTRY.
There is an exhibit at the Pavilion of all
sorts and sizes of trunks, travelling bags.
valises, grip sacks. etc. There seemed to be
something designed to carry everything that
a travelling man ever has to display, except
his conscience. Sometimes they leave that at
home. This display represents home in
dustry operated by James Longshore at $50
K street, which is of great Importance as q
factor In the manufacturing prosperity of
sacramento.
