A MODEL
FOR SEWING MACHINE
Old Fisherman Says 1t Also Gave Nat Herresho His Idea
for Building Cup Defenders

New England may owe lot to the
Goldfish. and the Western Coast may
hav, a tender feeling for the salmon,
but there is one fish for which the whole
Spanish mackerel." said the old fisher
man in a reminiscent tone. For, be-
sides being a fish of great commercial
valae, II has furnished the idea for the
Singer sewing machine. and a model
for the recent cup defenders
How could a fish furnish the idea
for sewing machine? Well, the Span
ish mackerel didn't exactly show old
man Singer how TO make machine. but
1t furnished him with the famous lock
stitch. which he patented. and which
made his machine what it is.
Have you ever noticed the seam that
runs along the side of a Spanish mack
erel? In this seam is the original lock-
stitch. old man Singer Used to be a
great fisherman. besides being an in
ventive genius, and he caught the idea
from the mackerel.
Model for the Reliance.
NAT Herreshoff is a frst-rate boat
builder. especially of those fancy ninety
footers that are only good for speed on
a fair weather day. And the reason
thai he can beat those Englishmen at
building 'em. is because he followed ma
ture. He picked out the speediest fish
in the water-the Spanish mackerel-
and modelled his boat after it. II you
notice the cut OF the Columbia's bow
and stern and compare them to The lines
of the mackerel. you will find them
