Revolutionize the Sewing Machine Business The A. H. Culver Furniture Company has secured, for Greater Butler, the exclusive selling agency for the “FREE” Sewing Machine. This may be the first time that you have heard of that machine, but it will not be tong until it is known throughout the entire world--because, For the first time in forty years, a lower-priced sewing machine is announced to be not merely “as good as” but y machine the world has heretofore known The “FREE” sets an entirely new standard in sewing machine merit, and its appearance undoubt- edly marks the beginning of a new era in sewing machine selling. It is the invention of Mr. W. C. Free, of Chicago, Ill. He is the president of a well Known sewing machine company, possessing one of the largest and most perfectly equipped factories in the United States. He has been a manufacturer of sew- ing machines for many years, after sixteen years of study and experiment. As a preliminary to the design of A BETTER SEW- @ ING MACHINE than had ‘}. ever been built, the inventor spent years in the study and analysis of ALL other as standard. Their points of advantage and their points of weakness were carefully noted. ALL the good points of ALL the the other makes are com- bined in the “FREE,” and the weak points avoided or amended.
