| Text on back reads, "SWITZERLAND. SWITZERLAND is a favorite resort for the continental tourist. He finds himself among grand mountains, in rich, fertile valleys, where agriculture is the chief industry, and where the people are modest, industrious farm owners, generally educated. The Singer trade-mark is well known in Switzerland, and sewing-machines carrying this mark are to be found in the majority of Swiss cottages. This popularity is due not only to the superior excellence of these machines, but also to the liberal terms on which they may be purchased. Imitation the Sincerest Flattery. Cheaply made imitations of obsolete forms of Singer sewing-machines are offered by merchandise dealers to deceive an unwary public. SINGER SEWING-MACHINES ARE NEVER SOLD TO DEALERS. They go directly from maker to user, and can only be obtained from the Company's employees." Singer Stores in Every City. See Singer Store in YOUR CITY." |
