Why has the"New High Atm Davis" so rapidly and securely taken the front rank among Sewing .Machines? The fact that It occupies that position Is freely acknowledg ed, but the reasons are not so well under stood except by those familiar with the machine. It Is simpler In construction haying a less number of working parts than any other machine. It Is made of the best materials, and In the most workmanlike manner. It Is llht running. Its simplicity and the case with which the details of Its operation can be mastered bring Its best feature with In the reach of the most in experienced. It has the greatest number of attachments and automatic in their ac tlon, for doing every desirable style of woik. It has the "Vertical Fetd" an entirely new principle In Sewing Machines which enables It to do all kinds of work more per fectly and with greater facility than other machine, and many kinds of work entirely beyond the capacity of any other machine in the world. It has built Its pre-eminence on solid merit, and because It is entirely unlike, and better than Its rivals. Geo. . Nnsbanm. Apt, Bank Street. Lehghton.
