drophead improved Singer we had RIM
occasionally for IA years, but he told
of many imperfections about it and
SAID you can't never wear it out but.
1T will wear you out" and l decided
ia like to have machine that would
40 such nice sewing without touching
the goods. Husband shook his head: !:
he didn't fool him so easily, and left
us; but he stayed till he came in
again and was over-persuaded to sign
the note for $40. 1t was the first
thing of the kind had asked him to
do during 26 years of welded life.
We were busy canning and had com
pany, too, and l did not seem to real
ize the value Of the machine and be-
came dissatisfied next day when T
thought of our "Home Comfort RANGE
only costing 500 and the very highest
priced sewing machines in cata logues
with 3 months to test them in and
expenses paid both ways was only
S27 to $50. l commenced getting ner,
vous and worrying about it till TIE
deliverance and we told him we did
not want the machine at that price.
He said he had to deliver it. he had
gone ''to the trouble of taking It
here" l offered to give him SO fnr,
his trouble. He said ne could not do
it, and threshing machine came un
End husband went to his work and he
did sorry sewing, nothing to COM
pare with the agents work. Oh, how
worried and nervous I was. But he
told me that he was a poor man with
a wife and children to support and
his hand had been cut in a saw mil
and he did not have any other way
at all to support them, and if he fail
ed to deliver that machine they would
fire him at once and he would lose
his job; and he seemed to be in as
much trouble about it as l was. and
did sympathize with him on account
of his hand and he held the note, say
ing "sign right here, Mrs. Townsend. ~
AS l signed it l said, ''This says de
llVered satisfactorily and you know
this is anything in the world but sat
isfactorily.'' He picked up my ma,
chine and left before husband came
in Saturday P. NJ. Monday mornine
l sent samples of the sew 'ng to the
company stating the above facts. TIE
reply was, "We hold your note signed
by you and your husband" They
allowed us $25 for our machine and
| would not give it for theirs if
had it back. The agent said "we'd
save thread" that what we lose every
time the under thread just tangles
without sewing stitch" So when
the boss came last week and I told
him wanted to see him do the work
that the agent did he said will you
pay for the machine if l CAM"
said mot that price," but Jesus said
eff they sue you at law and take away
your coat, let them have your cloak
also. You have my machine now
take yours and have coat and CLOAK
without sueing at law" He replied
"Out Of nearly three hundred Gus
toners you are the only one dissat
isfied." l would like to know why he
came all the way from Ill. for to see
one dissatisfied customer after kav.
ing our machine and we had PROMISED
to ship his back and let him have
both machines and leave me with NY
fingers.
/ was taken right sick, could not
sit up, eat nor sleep well in some time
after my machine was gone and Gel

boss l wanted to see him sew like
the agent and handed him the worl
and he said he didn't have any goods
1 said there are 60 yards and handed
him piece Of yards. He said "Tht
piping goes through there" and lef
without trying to sew like it. VIVA
