SINGER'S SETTING MACHINES. THE MACHINE OF THE PERIOD. FOR simplicity of construction, lightness of working {may be worked by a child), strength, durability, beauty of stitch, and adaptability of every class of sewing, these machines stand unequalled. The fact that the Singer Company have received 170 first prizes and medals for their machines goes far to prove this, and a still more convincing proof is given by the growing popularity of the machines as evinced by the largely-increasing number of sales from year to year. Take the last five years in illustration — In 1875 there were 249,852 sold In 1876 there were 262,316 „ In 1877 there were 282,812 „ In 1878 there were 356,432 „ Inlß79(lastyear)therewere 431,167 „ These figures speak volumes in themselves. Owing to their enormous manufacturing facilities, and to the fact that the company have now a Branch Office and Agencies in every town in New Zealand, these machines are to be obtained at prices which place them within the reach of all, as the following list will show :—: — Singer's New Family (Treadle) ... £5 17b Singer's Combined Hand and Treadle £6 5s Singer's Medium (for Tailoring) ... £7 10s Singer's Hand Machine £4 10s Singer's No. 2 (Manufacturing) from £9 Machines may be had on the Hire Purchase System, by paying a small deposit and 2/6 per week until the payments amount to the price. Needles, Oils, Duplicate Parts, and Linen Thread, Silk, and Cotton always in stock, and sold at the lowest prices. Machines repaired by a competent hand at THE SINGER COMPANY'S DEPOT, Manners-street.
