THE LARGEST SALES BECAUSE THE MOST POPULAR.
The Most Popular Because the Best.
VERDICT OE THE LADIES.
THE stubborn fact shown by tlie oTicial returns, that the Singer Sewing Macbi ne
the only one whose sales have largely and steadily increased eveiy year, uninterrupt
edly—that last year the sales more than doubled those of the nest highest competitor,
and nearly equalled the sales of all the other companies combined, demonstrates beyond
all controversy that
THE SINGER SEWING MACHINE
is the most popular, because, in the estimation of the ladies of the country, is superior
to any other ma ufactured. The following returns of sales, sworn to by each company
tells the story:

The Atlanta Constitution.
Under its new management, the Atlanta

the leading journal of the South. Its en

ent portions of the country, and its series
of special telegrams from Washington while
the electoral commission was engaged in
consummating the fraud that placed Fadi.
c Jism once more in power in our national
councils are evidences conspicuous enough
to prove that no expense will be spared to
make the Constitution not only a leader in
the discussion of matters of public concern,

upon to settle
