Pre-Christmas Sale of Discontinued Models of DOMESTIC SEWING MACHINES 434 Machines that were $30 N $ 394 Machines that were $35 W 86 Machines that were ws O 25 Each This splendid opportunity comes “just before Christmas,” because we dis- covered that the Domestic Sewing Machine Company were going to change their case styles next year, on three models, and we secured their permission to sell the entire stock of these particular models NOW, when so many husbands are looking for sensible Christmas gifts for their wives. Every Woman Knows—As Well as Our Mothers Knew— That There Is NO Better Sewing Machine Than the Famous “DOMESTIC” In TWO MILLION HOMES, the “Domestic” is the prize of thrifty women, who do their own sewing, or have the dressmaker come in to do it. The “Domestic” will do all that any other machine will do, and much that others will not. Mothers will have no other, because it not only SEWS LOCK-STITCH when they are doing sewing for themselves; but it also SEWS CHAIN- STITCH, when they are qewing clothing for the little folks, who require seams that can be “let down’’ when they grow. ~ lendidly made, in every detail, DOMESTIC SEWING MACHINES not only do the pest SEWING and the FINEST WORK, but THEY LAST FOR A LIFETIME. Throughout the country, where agents sell the “Domestic,” they get from $40 to $80 for them. These three models are sold regularly by us for $30, $35 and $40, While this selling lasta— which will be until ail are sold, or until December 80th, the price will be $25 Each, $2 Cash and $1 Weekly Delivered prepaid to any station within 500 miles of New York; or to your door, {f within our regular delivery routes.
