Paris international Exposition, where
they show TO great advantage the cele-
brated Singer Sewing-Machine which
is used in every country on the globe,
both for family use and for manufac-
turing purposes. The writer was high-
" pleased with this display and OBJ
served with much satisfaction that it
was favorably commented upon by WIS.,

The Grand Prize was awarded by the
international Jury to Singer Sewing
Machines for superior excellence in de-
sign, construction, efficiency and for
remarkable development and adoption
to every stitching process used in
either the family or the factory.
Only One Grand Prize for sewing ma
chimes was awarded at Paris, and this
dtstinctionof absolutely superior merit
confirms the previous action of the In
ternational Jury at the Worlds Co.
lumbar Exposition, in Chicago, where
Singer machines received "a distinct
awards, being more than were re-
ceiyed by all other kinds of sewing ma
chimes combined.
Should it be possible that any of our
readers are unfamiliar with the cele.
brated Singer Machine, we would re.
specially advise that they call at any
of the Singer salesrooms which can be
found in all cities and most towns in
the United States"
