THE SEWING MACHINE,
Unsuccessful Inventions That Pre-.
ceded HOvve's Patent In lS46,

ceded HOvve's Patent In 1S46.
The technical beginning of the sew
Ing machine industry in this country
was Sept 10, 1886 when Elias Howe,
Jr., obtained a patent for what grew
into the first really practical sewing
machine Only three of the first Howe
machines were made, however, and
one of these was deposited in the pat
ent office in Washington as model.
1t was not until after 1850 that fac
tory for the making of sewing ma
chimes was built, SO the enormous bust
ness of today has grown up in a short
half century.
While HOwe's invention marked the
beginning Of Il successful industry, he
was by no means the pioneer in eff
forts to substitute mechanical for hand
sewing. AS far back as ITO Thomas
Alsop patented in England a machine
for embroidering. Another machine
for emhroidering in n loom was invent
ed by John Duncan in 1904, and twen-
ty-fivc years later another Englishman
named Heilman patented still another
embrodering machine.
The first recorded attempt at me-
chanical sewing was the invention Of
Thomas Saint who took out patent
in England In 100 for machine which
executed the old crochet stitch. It
was not success, but some of the
features Of the Saint machine appear
in the perfected machine of today.

France In 1880 the first sewing ma
chine put to practical use. Eighty Of
his machines were in use for sewing
army clothing in 1871. when mob de-
stroyed them because convinced they
would drive seamstresses out Of en-
ployment. Thimonnier built new and
better machines, but all his work was
again destroyed by angry artisans in
1S4S.
John j. GreenOugh took out the first
patent for sewing machine issued in
the United States in 1912. It was in
tended to sew leather, but was Of no
practical use.
Walter Hunt Of New York built a
sewing machine in 1884, but failed to
protect 1t by patent. After Howe's
machine appeared Hunt declared it
embodied the ideas Of his machine Of
1884. but he was unable to establish
his claim.
A small army Of inventors appeared
after Howe's patent had proved sue
cessful. and their genius was devoted
to perfecting every part Of the ma
chine. How well they have succeeded
is shown in the $500 patents for sew
ing machines and attachments issued
by the United States since 1850 and in
the fact that the American sewing ma
chine leads all others in every country

There have been greater names in
English history than that of Lord
Salisbury. but no minister could ever
point to so favorable condition of the
country and the empire as that which
attended his administration. He was
scarcely reformer, and was never an
enthusiast for the new tmpsrt.nsIn
and yet the people prospered and the
empire became more and more OF a
