About 1000 are now in use in North
Carolina. You cannot say too much
in their favor.
The above offer was made in the
early part of this year, and shortly
atterward it was apparent from the
rect Revenue Act that agents could
not solicit orders for these machines
without laying themselves liable for
the $500 license tax. From 8 circular
recently sent out by Treasurer Worth
regarding pianos and organs it is in
terred that agents may solicit as much
as they please only so they do not sell
from a stock in this State, or sell their
samples. In the circular referred to
the treasurer says: Il have made the
most liberal construction that the law
will admit, the same as in case of sew
ing machines. All are liable except
those acting only a agents for man
u%taCturers or dealers outside the State;
who take orders and the instrument is
S)Id at the factory and shipped direct
ly to the agent on each order, or di
rectly to the customer. Those who ex
change for organs or pianos, and trade
in them, are clearly liable for the tax"
All that is said of pianos and organs
may be said of sewing machines
The Agency handles no class of
goods that is better value for the mon
3y than the Alliance sewing machine
and it should go into every Alliance
home in the land where a sewing ma
chine is needed.
Who will be the successful contest
