The table of Sewing Machine Sales for 1873 shows 
that our sales last year amounted to 232,444 (two 
hundred anil thirty-two thousand, four hundred 
and forty-four) Machines, being a large Increase 
over the -ales of the previous year (1872). 
The Table also shows that our sales Exceed 
those of ant other Company, for the period 
named, by the number of 113,254 Machines, or 
nearly double those of any other Company. 
It maybe 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, in 1S72 we sold 45,000 more Ma¬ 
chines than any other Company, whereas, in 1873, 
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 Less than their Sales in 1872, 
whereas, as has been shown Our Sales have 
Largely Increased. 
The account, of sales is from the returns made to 
the owners ot the Sewing Machine Patents. 
. It will hardly be denied, that the superiority of 
the Singer Machines is fully demonstrated—at 
all events that their popularity "in the household is 
unquestionable.

30 1 O—Ot all tho great variety of beauti¬ 
ful shapes for fall polonaises we are 
persuaded that this is the most 
practical and stylish. Its wonder¬ 
ful simplicity is apparent to. all. 
It has the French back, with on¬ 
ly one seam; and thougu 
it is without side- forms, 
and not even a pleat at 
tho bottom of the 
waist, the one scam G 
is bo ingeniously ' 
shaped as to create 
f a modest and grace r ul pannier 
with re vers. It will be anprecia- 
ted by ladies who wish to prove 
their independence of dressma¬ 
kers by making their own cos- 
^ tumes. Tho most inexper¬ 
ienced will not fail to under¬ 
stand and put together suc¬ 
cessfully. It wiil be fa- j 
vored ior camel’s hair, j 
ladies’ cloth, etc., above / 
all others. Re¬ 
quires six yard3

\ the Bimplo and chaste 
fi triple cord of the 
i same, forming the 
’ trimming for the bot¬ 
tom. This style of 
trimming seems to 
lend a peculiar charm 
in forming a little 
half-closed fan. It is 
faced underneath with 
the Avne, showing 
both sides. It sets out 
just enough for the ef- 
feet now so desirable.
