A true .Incident now and then, a .orap of history here and there concerning CVrre-Haute or her business Interests cannot fall to be eagerly read by all who appreciate the mplri progress of our beautiful city, and the prosperity of her business In general. We give in this connection a brtet account of oneof the line-.', most attractive and most prosperous establishments in the eity: You will find this elegant house at 76 Main street, a perfect parlor and occupied nythe H£^er Sewing Machine Company. This establishment was fitted up the 1st ol June, last, by Nofslnger A Josslyn and placed under the management of D.'J. Pierce -who has since couducted It lu the most successful manner. Commencing at iliat tlmedn one room with a sale of three or four machines per week, he has since tiecn compelled to secure two other rooms uachtiOOeetln length to accommodate his -itock, and now sells at tbe the rate of one housapd machines per year, involving a capital of nearly $100,0u0. Consequently, the. value of the stock has Increased irom less than $1,500 to lu-urly $30,000, and lie sales of-tho Singer Machine are far in .-xceas of any other s, wing Machine In the world and we are safe In saying that the prosperity of this establishment Is without 1 parallel In this West, since it hasb« coine necessary to carry a stock of nearly tour hundred machines, continually, they are now mtnt In large nuiubersdirectly from the manufactories at New York. The Ann has recently commenced a wholesale trade which is rapidly asMiming'mainmoth proportions. The enormous stiles alone oi the singer Machine are a sufficient guarantee d.- superiority, und rank as the olundard & wing Machine of the world.
