SINGER SEW¥G MACHINES WE have much pleasure in informing < the Ladies of Greymouth and district that we have been APPOINTED AGENTS FOR THE LIGHT-RUNNING STANDARD AM) HOME COM- . PANION SEWING MACHINES, and ' trust that all intending purchasers will , call and examine the above before deciding on any other make. We give a few reasons why the Standard should have the preference : — ; THE LIGHT-RUNNING STANDARD ' Is almost Noiseless. , THE LIGHT-RUNNING STANDARD Never gets out of Order. THE (LIGHT-RUNNING STANDARD ; Lasts a Lifetime. ' THE LIGHT-RUNNING STANDARD ' \ Is elegant in appearance and finish. ■ THE LIGHT-RUNNING STANDARD '' Has more points of superiority than , any other machine in the world. THE LIGHT-RUNNING STANDARD Has a self -setting needle, which cannot be set wrong. THE LIGHT-RUNNING STANDARD Has an automatic tension, and when regulated rarely needs to be altered and as a rule the whole range of family sewing can be done without change of ten sion whatever. THE LIGHT-RUNNING STANDARD Has a large space under the arm, affording unusual facilities for doing all kinds of work THE LIGHT-RUNNING STANDARD Has a scale for regulating the stitch which enables the operator to readily ascertain the length of stitch without testing, and" alter same without stopping the machine. THE LIGHT-RUNNING STANDARD Has a spring tension, shuttle, and a bobbin that carries a large amount of thread. The tension may be changed without removing shuttle from machine. THE LIGHT-RUNNING STANDARD Is the easiest Operated. The HOME COMPANION is also a j first-class machine (hand or treadle), by the same makers as the Standard, and all who prefer Hand Machines should give this one a trial. It is so simple that a child can work it, and it can be seen at the agents. SMITH AND BABKLEY, Mawhera Quay & Mackay St., greymouth. Commission Agents. pi W.
