Opinioimof fh» Pressure! Public.
Moore’s Patent Sewing Machine.—There
has been one in our family for the last month
or more. It gives complete satisfaction and
is liked better the longer it is tried—it is sim
ple and easily worked, and does not seem lia
ble to get out of order.—[Texas Christian Ad
vocate.
Moore’s Sewing Machine.—This Machine
is one among the best, and is reliable and ac
curate on all descriptions of work.—[Daily
Gazette, Dayton, 0.
Moore’s Patent; the very best in existence.
Every family should have one.—[Evansville
(Ind.) Enquirer.
Moore’s Sewing Machine.—We have one in
our family, and our better half is very much
pleased with it, not that it is r eally better than
Grovers & Baker’s, but it is simple and cheap
er than they arc. It makes as beautiful and
substantial a stitch as anv of them, and will he
used by the masses of the people.—[Memphis
Christian Advocate.
(From B. Fulsome, Sumpter, S. C.)—Dear
Sir:—I am well pleased with my machine. I
think I can say, with ah truth, it is as good as
any of the machines that are now selling tor
$100. For a family machine I think it the
very thing.
To whom it may Concern : — I have thor
oughly examined the machine known as
Moore’s Sewing Machine, and candidly assert
that I consider it the best cheap machine I
ever saw, and in fact, the only really practical
one. i believe it to be all that is claimed for
it—-simple, strong and durable, and for a fain
ily machine, fully equal, if not better than any
it’her Sewing Machine in market, regardless
of price.—[H. H. Smith, Vice President of
the Ohio Mechanic’s Institute.
E. W. Martin, Attorney at Law, Pine Bluff,
Ark., writes: I think it the best machine I
have ever seen, which is, I believe, the con
viction of all who have witnessed its operation.
Rev. A. R. Winded, writing from Camden.
Ark., says, witn reference to a number of ma
chines sent to that place : ‘"The machines are
doing splendidly.”
(From R. S. Jones, firm of Jones. Brown &
Co., Memphis: “I have used Moore’s Sewing
Machine in my family about six months, and
it gives entire satisfaction It is simple and
easily managed, and does equally well all kinds
of family work.
The above notices are only a few of the
many which might be given, but these are
deemed sufficient to satisfy all reasonable per
sons of the superior excellence of the Moore’s
Patent. Every Machine is fully Warranted.
The low price of this machine, its adapta
tion to all kinds of family and plantation work
should recommend it to the consideration of
every family
