A. Wight, treasurer. A consid
erable sum was subscribed for
the purpose of buying uniforms

Necessities

o Luxuries.
Nearly everybody can afford the Necessities of life, but
only a few can have the luxuries.
Si Sooct Sewing T/fachine
is a necessity in every well regulated home, and every
family can afford one at the prices we make on them. The
high-priced machine—the price and not the machine making
it a luxury—does do better work than our low-priced ma
chines.
