THE "SINGER" 57 TRIUMPHANT.Hp H E following abstract is taken -*- from tho Custom-house report of tho Melbourne Journal of Commerce, showing the import value of Sewing Machines imported by Victoria during ho year 1872 from the two leading Sewing Machine Manufacturers in the world. Tlio Machines imported from makers of less note are not taken into consideration :—Stanford and Co., Agents for tho "Singer" Manufacturing Company, 4710 cases, value £24,055 ; Long and Co., Agents for the Wheeler and Wilson Company, 103.'. cases, value £8040 ; showing difference in favor of tho "Singer" Machine of 3054 cases, value £10,300. This extraordinary success of tho "Singer" has been mainly achieved by tho Company's "New Family" Machine, which is universally acknowledged to bo tho most simple to earn, tho easiest to work, unequalled for strength and beauty of stitch, and the most complete and perfect in mechanism and accessories for every variety of Domestic Sewing and Embroidery. BEWARE OF IMITATIONS of tho "SINGER" MACHINES. M. A. ALDRICH, Agent, Shortland street, Auckland. 0. E. WILLIAMS, Manager. SEWING"! AC HUB S MADE BY in. BRITANNIA COMPANY, COLCHESTER, ENGLAND, combine tho best parts of the best Machines (avoiding their defects) with some kkcknt special improvements, which no other Machine possesses. Every make of Machine, however far removed from excellence, professes to be better than any other. The task of selecting a Sewing Machine is therefore rather a difficult one, especially if the purchaser has no knowledge of machines, and has no other guide than the representation of various dealers Many people convinced of the advantage to be derived from using a Machine for needlework do not yet possess . ono because among so many thoy are unable to satisfy themselves as to which make is the best. As a practical man and an Engineer allow ma to point out some of the advantages of these Machines. Thoy will do all that any other Machine will, and do it better, including Hemming, Quilting, Felling, Cording, Binding, Braiding, Stitching, &c, &c, with a perfect stitch alike on both sides. They are fitted with an iJtr_R.6vEDimi.A__, which prevents the Machine turning the wrong way, and so entangling and breaking the thread. They make less noise than most Machines, and is the nearest possible approach to noiseless. They aro very simple, and will run for years without costing a shilling for repairs. Every Machine is Warranted. Machines lot out on hire, the payment for which goes towards the purchase. Machines of other makers taken in exchange. Repairs properly done. Needles for various Machines, Oil, Cotton, and Extras. G. W. HE SLOP, engineer, The Fitting Shop, Vulcan Lank. nm.
