O When I Say That The Davis Sewing Machine leads all others, it is not merely to fill a column with au advertisement I moan that no other machine is so simple' I mean that no other machine is so finely made! And that no other machine is so easily run! The "Davis'' is polished like a watch; it will not kill a woman to run it; it will do more than double the variety of work, without bnstint;, than any other machine can do. All other sewing-machine men acknowledge this, but says, "Our's is the cheapest." But I say that to buy a cheap sewing ma chine is not economy. The Ix'st is al ways the cheapest.
