beginning upon nxed and bouorable principles, long 
since their leading position in America was estab¬ 
lished, Abroad at London in 1862 they won the high¬

two competitors and were awarded the highest pre¬ 
mium, the ONLY GOLD MEDAL for Sewing Ma¬ 
chines exhibited; and lastly amid unparalleled com¬
