Text on back reads, "NORWAY, Forms the Northwest extremity of Europe, occupying the North-west portion of the Scandinavian Peninsular. The Capital City is Christiania. The country is Mountainous and has only the two seasons, Summer and Winter. The early history is enveloped in fable, the really authentic beginning with "Fair-Haired Harold" in the Ninth Century. The people are a hardy, intelligent race. Our picture represents a young Norwegian in the unusual costume. His companion is The Universal Feed Machine, used in Shoe Repairing and Manufacture. Many of these machines, as well as thousands of our Family Machines, are sold yearly in the different cities of Norway." |
