A CARD.

The White sewing machine maintains its steady course toward universal popu laxity. Wherever known it is recognized as possessing superior merit it is adapted to household purposes, and to manufacturing as well. Every White sewing machine from the start and wherever placed is doing first-class work. The White company have no occasion to present a new or another machine, neither do they need three or four entirely different constructed machines. Just the one White family machine is all that is needed it is perfect in its mechanical construction it is capable of doing a wider range of work than any other machine it is easier run ning runs quietly it is simple and durable it sells on its merits. I don't have to scheme around and buy some one in who is in position to control parties who are running sewing machines, in order to sell the White. No, sir! When I get so much on the wane that I have to work some plan to compel people to buy my machine, I will quit the business. While it is my misfortune yet not to be qualified to walk in that straight and narrow way that leads to that celestial throne above, I am free to say that I am conscious to a degree that causes me to shrink from becoming a party to a scheme which would place me in position to compel a class of people to buy my machine, to compel them to sacrifice whatever machine they may have, and this a class of people too, many of them, who are almost subjects of charity. I don't care to serve such a master—such principles—six days in the week and practice, or pretend, living a Christian one day in the week. All those who are thus imposing upon those helpless laboring women of this city, I should think could afford to be a great benefit to the charity organization that one day of consecration, and I would suggest that a committee of said organization be appointed to give them personal attention. I solicit the patronage of the people and promise that if I sell you a White sewing machine it is done on a fair, legitimate basis, and you can have the assurance that no such unfair and infamous practices are resorted to as in these wolves in sheep's clothing.

Come and buy a good, honest machine, and remember that at the White sewing maching office, 306 Main street, is kept a full line of needles and parts for all kinds of sewing machines also the finest work of art in embroidery and stamping is done here by Miss Fannie McFarland, who will be pleased to see her many friends. The combined efforts of Miss Fannio and tho White sewing machine are wonderful. Call and see some of the elegant specimens of fine embroidery which she has produced on the White, and with the practico of a very few days, which speaks volumes for the White as well as tor her, especially when you consider that she was with the Singer company twelve years and never knew anything of embroidery work of any kind such a thing as embroidery done on that machine was all Latin to her. In the next two or three weeks we wllPhave completed some extra samples of embroidery that will repay any one to see.
