IMPORTANT FACTS!
For the Public.
NEW EASTERN DEPOT
FOR THE WORLD RENOWNED
SEWING MACHINES.
Opposite the Post Office,
AUGUSTA, - - MAINE.
These Machines, by their simplicity, durability, and :
the great range ol' work they execute,
have gained n reputation truly
enviable.
The famous successoi the si.noer Mantfactuk- !
ixg Tomi'Any lias stimulated many other compan
ies to put forth all their energies* and talents to ■
produce a sewing machine that would eclipse or
equal the Singer, but in every ease they have aig- .
millv tailed, a.- i- plainly diou n by the fact, that of i
all the travelling agents—“runners or drummers’’ ;
—of other companies, none have the assurance to |
claim more than an equality with the .Singer, even ]
upon any special class of work.
There’are many sewing machines, now offered t » .
the public, that have their good point-, and arc of |
much assistance to the housew ife and the industri
ous seamstress. 1’arlics purchasing a sew ing ma-;
chine of any sort, find the improvement on the old
fashioned way of sewing by bend so great and
pleasing, thal’tbey are natural)c, but erroneously,
led to believe that they have the l>c.-t, until tin* spell ;
is broken by the introduction of the Singer of 1870 I
into a neighbor’s family, which is sure, by the in- ;
creased rapidity and ease with which it does every ,
kind of plain or fancy sewing, to aw aken ihein to a
positive, although it may be silent acknowledge- i
incut ot the painful truth that there are very many
varieties of work that are easily executed upon ihe
Singer, but that they must either be content to do
w ithout, or exchange, at a heavy pecuniary sacri
fice, their curved ueedlcu, frail-powered, uurelia
ble-tensioned. low-speeded or ravcl-stitehed ma
chine for a Singer Sue Family Machine.
Various expedients are resorted to. that the pub
lie eye may be turned from the singer for the pur
pose of introducing inferior machines—viz. “The
.Button-Hole Dodge,” “The over-'■seaming,'” “The
Double-Lock-lvnot-Stitch.”“Kla.-tic Stitch,” “Twist
ed Loop,” “Self-Adjusting Tensions,” “King Finish
and Beautifully Ornamented,” “Straight Needle,”
“Stitch AJikc-on-both-Sides,” “Medals from Fairs,”
“Vertical Feed Bars,” “Noiseless Running,” “Silent
Feed.” and last an#xvorst of all, the low-priced—
“Family Shuttle Machines.”
Many of these points are desirable, (and the
Singer’excells all in each individual speciality^ but
the greatest use made of these special points! is by
the retail agent who parades them be I ore* the inex
perienced purchaser with such fluent and earnest
style, a> h> entirely divert attention from the really
important bearings of the ease. While othei inno
cent local agents ignorant! \ represent that ttic ma
chine sold bv them is capable of doing every varie
ty of work, egual to the Singer, and *olien do tin y
thus unconsciously swindle customers who cannot
aflbid to squander their substance upon gilded
follies and worthless rattle-traps.
Parties in quest of a Sewing Machine should look
about them and learn what machine is most exten
sively used in families, tailor shops, shoo factories,
and carriage factories. It is an aclmotrledged fact,
ireely admitted by all seirtng machine dealers, that
more than tiro-thirds of all the clothing worn in this
country by bath sexes, whether custom made or ready
made, is actually manujactured upon THE .SINGER
m vv ing Maghi’m:
These Machines are manufactured by one of the
oldest, strongest, and most enterpr.-i’ng Compan
ies that has ever been engaged in the business in
the world. Throughout their immense manufac
tories, which are kept in constant opera*ion “d-iy
and night,” none but highly skilled mechanics are
employed. Newly improved machinery is em
ployed* turning out each part finished to that me
chanical exactness, that every one is a perfect du
plicate of the other in si/.i . weight and fini-h. All
new inventions are carefully examined and tested,
and if approved, are adopted, regardless of ex
pense, while the many impractical humbug* that
are patented are let! to grace some new wonder
and learn the purchaser w hen too late, that he has
“paid too dear for his whistle.” It should be re
membered that the Singer Manufacturing Com
pany has never made a poor Machine—from the
very (list twenty-odd yearn ago. They never buv
editorial notices’, or expend lnnds in “log-rolling'*
at Fairs to gain medals or premiums.
They simply make their Machines as valuable as
money and science cau perfect them—place them
in their Sales Rooms, and leave the public to find
out their virtues in their own way. By this straight
forward course they are m-w manutaeturingabout
four hundred per dav, and at that rate, even, are
unable to supply the demand.
WHAT IS THE SEW r ANIL! MMit.ll Uf I5IU7
It ! : the concentrated result of iweuiy years ex
perience in building Sewing Machines.
It uses very short -traight needle.-.
It makes the Shuttle or Lock-stitch alike up»u
both sides of the work.
It is very light running and has a silent feed.
It is very easily kept clean, and is always in
order.
It is less difficult to understand and learn to
operate than any other.
It has the most simple and easily adjusted ten
sion ever invented.
It is less liable to rust than any other.
It is so constructed that dust cannot enter it or
oil drop from it.
It works equally well upon the finest Lace or
heaviest Beaver < loth?.
It will hem millings of dress goods over seams
without any preparation.
It is very high-speeded, and requires very little
power to keep in motion.
It will out-wear any other Family Machine ever
made.
It will Hem. Braid, Fell, Cord Tack. Ruffle. Em
broider. Bind, Trim, «&c.
it costs $‘k> delivered at your house, set to run
ning and warranted.
Covers, Folding Tops,C abinets, according to fin
ish. $05 to $250.
The prices named above, are tin* cash prices at
the Manufactory, but knowing that the various cir
cumstances ol all will not admit of the rigid i . O.
1>. principle, it has been decided to divide the
amount into monthl y or in some cases weekly pay
ments, in sueh a manner as will best suit the con
venience of the purchaser.
This is done purely for the accommodation of the
patron, as no extra charge is made from the regu
lar cash prices.
No charge for Instructions in operating the sing
er’s upon any class of work.
