A TALK ON
SEWING MACHINES
With Spring sewing to be
done the need of Sewing
Machine is clearly apparent.
But think twice before you
buy! An order to any ma
chine dealer will fetch YOU one
in hurry; or more likely the
ubiquitous agent has found
you before there has been time
to look around. Good ma
chimes are numerous-but the
cost! 500 is the usual price
for a machine as good as can
be made-as good as tie
Quaker City .Se7oin.s II0chme
&c sell at $35.
There are fifteen special
points Of goodness about the
Quaker City Machine. We
didnt invent one of them. All
basic patents on sewing ma
chimes have long ago run out,
and any bright machinist can
build a machine. Ours are
built at a great factory whose
owner likes the big orders we
give. They cost us as much
probably, as machines cost
other producers. But there is
no wasteful expense in the
selling. We teach their use
here ; we don't trade for other
machines; we have no one to
protect but the retail pur-
chaser.
