THIS SPACE RESERVED FOR NEW ZEALAND TWEED COMPANY. The “ Expert ” SEWING MACHINE.

HOW muoh and yet how little most folks know about Sewing Machines. What work-doers, what eye-Bavers,' what breadwinners they are is oommon knowledge. But how many know what a crust of “ expenses ” counts in the usual retail prioe of all Sewing Machines —not one in a thousand. It'would astound sewiDg maohine buyers if they knew what actual cost is and what retail prices would be, were machines sold on the same basis as shoes, or olothing, or books, or furniture, or almost any other merchandise. Why not sell them bo ? Time was when patents forbado. But the basic and important patents have expired. The field is open to anyone. Names have lost muoh of their significance. The they were, or are, can no longer monopolize excellencies. All of the wall of exclusiveness has tumbled down—except the oumbrous, costly way of selling goods. Why shouldn’t it go too? Here are the “EXPERT" Sewing Machines. The best machine that could be made by picking from all the goodness of other machines. Taken all in all, we count it the BEST Sewing Machine on the market. THE “EXPERT" SEWING MACHINE. Mobe Up-to-date in all Improvements Than Any Other. How can we make these little prioes? Easily. We buy and sell Sewing Machines as we buy and sell other goods. And We don’t employ canvassers and pay them half the selling price for 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 instructors to give lessons at the customer's house—instructions are given at the store. We don’t do • the business in a reckless and expensive way and make the customer stand the extra cost. ; ' Import Agent— WINGATE & CO.,
