Captain Saunders and two offi

to arrive at Honolulu early in the

sharply. It was tho faco of the

A rock on the right had been picked

SINGER SEWING MACHINES
Cannot be obtained through merchandise dealers. They are delivered
directly from maker to user only through the Company's own em
ployees. There, ig.as great a difference in the cost of making sewing
machines us there is in making watches. A cheap watch wilf indicate
time with fair accuracy for a short time. Fairly good stitching can be
done on some of the old patterns of cheap sewing amenities when they
are aew, but they always work hard, are noisy and soon wear out.
