AT the Vienna Exhibition, the SINGER re? ceived the Medal of Merit, the Modal of Progress, and three other Medals for superiori? ty of productions. These arc the highest Sewing Machine awards at Vienna. The' Singer re? ceived all the Medals awarded to either of the competing machines, and two Medals more than any other obtained. Then, in the name of truth, what is it that prompts people to claim recom? mendations for the Diploma of Honor ? Tho fact is, no Diploma of Honor has been given to any Sewing Machine Company. Rut immeas? urably more valuable is "The "World's Award," as shown by sales? proved by sworn returns to the owners of the principal* Sewing Machine Patents?which last year amounted to 219,758 Machines, nine out of ten of them being for family use. This is over 40,000 more Sowing Machines than were sold by any other company during the same period, and over one-quarter of all the Machines sold in 1872. These enor? mous sales are owing to the long-tested merits of the SINGER Machines, which meet the wants of the public in superiority and simplici? ty of construction, and capability for great va? riety and excellence of work. It is remarkable not only for the range and variety of its sewing, but also for tho variety and different kinds of texture which it will sew with equal facility and pcrlection, using silk twist, linen or cotton thread, line or coarse, making tho inter-locked elastic stitch, alike on both sides of tho fabric sewn.
