HOW much and yet how little most folks know about Sewing Machines. What work-doers, what eye-savors, what breadwinners they are is common knowledge. But how mai y know what a crust of “ expenses ” counts in the usual retail price of all Sewing Machines—not one in a thousand. It would astound sewing machine buyers if they knew what actual cost is and what retail prices would be, were machines sold on the same basis as shoes, or clothing, or book', or furniture, or almost any other merchandise. Why not sell thcmEo? Time was when patents forbade. But the batif nd icupoitnnt patents have expired. The i dis open to anyone. Namo3 have lost much of their significance. The they were, or are, can no longer monopolize excellencies. All of the wail of exclusiveness has tumbled down -except the cumbrous, costly way of selling goods. Wby shouldn’t it go too?

Here are the “EXPERT" Sewing Machines. The best machine that could be made by picking from all the goodness o ( othor machines. Taken all in all, we count it the BEST Sowing Machine on the market. THE "EXPERT” SEWING MACHINE. Mose Up-to-date in all Improvements Than Any Other. How can we make these little prices? Eaeily. We buy anti sell Sewing Machines as we buy and sell other goods. And We don't employ canvassers and pay them hall the selling price lor getting the business. We don't sell on instalments, and thus lose a part of the prioe of some Machines. We don’t send out instiuctors to give lessons at the customer’s house—instructions are given at the store. We don’t do the business in a reokless and expensive way and make the customer Stand the extra cost. Import Agent— WINGATE & CO., AUCKLAND. Gisborne Agent— MBS A. M. BROWNE.
