At eighteen years he was a well grown
man, six feet high, and weigh'd one
hundred and eighty pounds \\ tweii"
. ty-one he was six inches taller, and
weighed two hundred and ten rounds.
Any growth after that was not noticed
until he v as twenty-four years old, and
then only by thesmailness of his clothes,
and he then measured in his stockings
six teet nine inches. Since then—he
is now thirty one years ot age—he has
attained the height of seven feet nine
inches, and is spill growing, this being
an increase of about two inches annu
ally. Some years he grows more and
some less, but this is his, average.—
While he ought to weigh at least three
hundred pounds, lie weighs only two
hundred and He is ex
cessively lank and gawky, and possesses
only one quality iu a large degree, and
that is hi > ability to walk, lie thinks
nothing of walking from home to Linden

reliable preparation ever in

of over forty years. When

loosens and cleanses the

THE NEW FAMILY
SINGER
Sewing machine.
WITH ATTACHMENTS
For All Kinds of Work.
is f st winning favor in the household, as
shown by the rapidly increasing sales.
This Mew Family Machine is capa
ble of a range and variety' of* work such as
was ouco thought impossible to perform by
machinery. We claim and can show that
it is t ie cheapo t, most, beautiful, delicately
arranged, nicely a ljusted, easily operated,
and smoothly running of all the family
sewing machines. Jt is remarkable, not
only io the lunge ami variety of its sew
ing, but also for the variety and thff. rent
kinds ot texture w'.icn it will sew with
equal t; cilily and perfection, using silk
twist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or coarse,
making the inter elastic lock stitch, alike
on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus,
beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with
great strength and uniformity ot stitch,
and, in a moment, this willing and never
wearying inst ument may be adjusted for
fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or
the tucking of tarlatan, or ruffling, or al
most any other work which delicate fingers
have been known io perform.
Ours having long been t he popular and
practical machines for manufacturing pur
poses, some dealers, using ‘-the tricks of
trade.” take advantage of this in trying to
persuade purchasers that our Family Ma
chine is not ,-qu .l, for family sewing to our
Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing
purposes But purchasers—and they are
apt to examine carefully before choosing—
have not been n ei-oiv persuaded, but con
vinced thatour m;w family acliine embod
ies xew and essential principles—simplicity
of construction ; ease *of operation ; uni
formity of precise action at any speed; ca
pacity for range and variety of work, fine
or coarse - leaving all rivals be ind it.
Sewing Machine Sales 0f1874.
The table of sewing machine sales for
1874 show that ou> sales for that year
amounted to 211,667 machines, being a
bug - increase ovt r the sales of the previ

1873, as compared with the sale of 1872,
show a relatively large increas beyond
the sales of other makers. For instance,
in 1872 we sold 4-;J'•(.); more machines lliiii

The following is a correct report of the
sales ot sewing machines ina ie by the lead
ing companies dm mg the past tour years.
A careful examination of tiie figures will
show that the “SINGER” have largely in
creased each year, while on the contrary, a
corresponding decrease is shown in the sales
reported by all other companies. This is a
highly satisfactory result to us, an 1 is only
another that “merit a'ways has its re
ward.” #
