TUo table of Sewing Machine Sales for 1873 shown 
that our sales last year amounted to 
(two hundred and thlrty-vwo thousand four hundred 
and forty-four) Machines, being a largo increase 
over the sales of the previous year (1872). 
The table also shows that our sales 
EXCEED THOSE OF ANY OTHER 
COMPANY, 
for the period named, by the number of 
I 13,254 MACHINES, 
Or nearly double those of any other Company. 
It may be further stated that the sales of 1873, as 
compared with those of 1872, show a relatively larger 
Increase, beyond the sales of other makers, than of 
any other year. 
For instance, tn 1872 we sold 15,000 more Machines 
than any othor Company, whereas, in 1573, the sales 
were 
113,254 MACHINES 
in Excess of our Highest 
Competitor. 
These figures are all the more remarkable, for the 
reason that the sales of the principal Companies 
in 1873 are LK88 THAN THEIR SALES IN 
18?!i t whereas, as lias been shown, 
Our Sales have largely Increased. 
The account of sales Is from sworn returns made 
to the owners of the Sewing Machine Patents. 
It will hardly be dented that the superiority of the 
SINGER MACHINES 
Is fully demonstrated at all events that their popu¬ 
larity In the household Is unquestionable.
