NOTICE.

After being engaged in litigation for nine years, The Singer Manufacturing Company, in a Chancery Suit recently heard before Vice-Chancellor Sir James Bacon, have established their exclusive right to the use of the name "Singer," as applied to Sewing Machines. The Public are cautioned that "Singer" or "Singer's" Sewing Machines are only made by The Singer Manufacturing Company, who keep them on sale at their offices in all the towns of the United Kingdom.

SINGERS SEWING MACHINES

BEWARE OF PERSONS, who, having no good trade repute of their own, use our name, "SINGER," to palm off counterfeit machines of inferior construction and manufacture. EVERY SINGER MACHINE has the Company's name printed on the Arm, and impressed upon the Brass Trade Mark Plate.

TO AVOID DECEPTION, buy only at The Offices of the Singer Manufacturing Company (formerly I. M. Singer and Co.).
