F. D'ivver. Andbhso??, S. C, May 2-r>, 1872. Messrs. Reed & Broyles, Agents for American Buttonhole Machine?Sirs : In answer to tho request that I would, as a Machinist and Prac? tice Engineer, make a thorough examination of the American Buttonhole Machine,. I will now say that I have examined it thoroughly, overyjiart berag:separately tested, and 1 find that every part k well finished .tnd properly fitted to its place.. There is no slurring over the work, but every port being placed together ?with such exactness and simplicity,- that after having worked irpon and* repaired most of the styles of Sewing Mad lines that have been in the Southern market for several years past, I must say there is more skill and ingenuity dis? played in the construction- of this Machino than any I have ever examined. It not only makes the much admired lock-stitch,, and all the varieties of work done on any Machine, but it has permanently fixed to it a Buttonhole and Overseaming combination which I have never seen on any other Machine. The use of your Machine, with its various attachments, is easily acquired by a little patience and atten? tion. I am- well satisfied that your Machine is not only the cheapest, but is superior to any Machine now in the Southern market, and es? pecially in its motion?being the cam motion of a superior order. The Machine yen left for examination I will rcta:n. Respectfully.. R. FURMAN D1VVER. Letter from A. IT. Lester, A. M., Pro/essor of Wofford College. Wofforo College, Spartan buwj C. lln \ South Carolina, January 6, 1872. j One of the "American- Buttonhole, Over beaming and Sewing MiKihincs'' has been- used jn my family for nearly threo years. It was operated from the first with no other assistance than such, directions as were given, in the'small pamphlet of instructions which acvompa-nics it. The Machine has given the highest degree of satisfaction, and; is recommended for its sim? plicity of construction, the strength and dura? bility of its parts, the lightness of its move? ment, the variety, beauty and strength of the work which it does, and, what tho ladies so highly appreciate, the uniform facility with which it is operated. My wife expresses a de? cided preference for this Machine to any other wjrh which she is acquainted. A. H. LESTER. A CARD.

THOMAS J. WEBB. Countv Auditor. .Tun/- 20, 1S72 50 'J. JUST THINK OP IT! IN 18C9, THE SINGER MANUFACTURING CO. sold in the United Suites 80,731 Machines. IN 1870, "We sold 127.S33 Machines, showing an excess beyond the sales of 1809 of over 40,000, and as shown below, over forty-four thousand Ma? chines nioro than any other company. The reader may naturally ask if this is more boasting; in answer to which we have to say, that those figures, and the ones given below, arc from sworn returns made by licensees to the receiver appointed by the owners of the most valuable sewing machine patents, who license the companies of lesser importance. Now read the following statement carefully : In 1870 we? Sold over the Parham Sewing Machine Com? pany 120,007 Machines. Sold over the Finkle A Lyon Manufacturing Company 125,413 Machinesr Sold over the Empire Sewing Machine Com? pany 124,273 Machines. Sold over the ./Etna Sewing Machine Compa na 122,027 Machines. Sold over the Gold Medal S. M. Comnany 118,921 Machines. Sold over the American Button-Hole Com? pany 113,200 Machines. Bold over the Florence Sewing Machine Com? pany 110,173 Machines. Sold over the Wilcox A Gibbs S. M. Com? pany 98,943 Machines. Sold over the Weed Sewing Machine Compa? ny 92,831 Machines. Sold over the Grovcr A Baker S. M. Com? pany 70,431 Machines. Sold over the Howe Machine Company, 52, 077 Machines. Sold over the Wheeler A Wilson Manufac? turing Company 44,025, But the sales of last year, 1871, is still more astonishing. We sold 1S1.200. This was over 52,000 more than any other company. Some peoplo may say that the cause of leav? ing our rivals so far behind, is because the Singer has more agents at work in the field, but this is by no means the case. For I can say that I have sold at this agency Sixty-Four Machines .since the first January last; and I don't count a Machine sold when I simply leave it at a house on trial No, the great se? cret is this : that the Singer tells its own story.

Buttonhole, Overseaming and Complete Sewing Machine in One! 1 We request the Ladies, and all others want? ing a perfect Sewing Machine, to judge from personal examination, this superior and excel? lent Machine* it is no exaggeration to say that it will execute a greater variety of sewing, with fewer attachments arid! less labor, thau any Machine in the world: It is ? decided im? provement on the older Machines in market; and the superior skiW, Workmanship and ma? terials employed- irr its construction arc a guar? antee of accuracy, strength and durability, and enable tho Company ami its Agents to War? rant every Machine they feia to give entire satisfaction. It is crnnpiratrvofy noiseless, and runs with such case that the most delicate female can opcrato it all day without fatigue. A Philadel? phia weekly, speaking of this Machine, says '. "In New England, tho home of the Sewing Machine; the American Buttonhole Machine is without a rival?ly Because it wffl. do every? thing that any Machine can do, sewing from the finest to the coarsest material, hemming, foiling, cording,- braiding, binding, gathering and sewing on at the same time, quilting, etc., letter than auy other Mavine. 2. Bccauso the tensions are more easily adjusted. 3. Because it can work a beautiful buttonhole, making as lino a! pearl as by the hand. 4. Because it will embroider over the edge, making a' heat and beautiful border oA any garment. - f>. Because it will work a Beautiful eyelet hole. 6.? Bc? causo it can do overhand scorning, by which sheets, pillow-cases alul tho like aro sewed over and over. 7.- Because you can quickly raise and lower the feed to wrtapt it to thick or thin cloth. 8. Because you have a short, deep bobbin, by which the thread is ('onVtantl'y drawn from the centre, the tension' is conse? quently even. 0. Because the prcsscr-foot turns back, that tho cloth may be easily re? moved after being sowed. Because it is two Machines in one, and has no springs to break, and nothing to get out of order.''
