" THE following abstract is taken from the Custom-house report of the Melbourne Journal of Commerce, showlrg the import value of j Sewing Machines imported by Victoria during the year 1572 from the two leading Sewirg Machine Manafac'nrers in the world. Tlie Machines imported from makers of less note are not taken into con sideration :—Stanford and Co., Agents for the " Singer" Manufacturing Company, 4719 cases, v?.Uie £24,9.'5 ; Loxn anrl C^ , Agents for the Wheeler and Wilson Company, 103') cases, value £8040 ; showing difference hi favor of the " tingtr" Machine ot SOSI cases, value £l(i,S0!) This extraordinary success of the "Sinoer" has been mainly achieved by the Company's " New Famt-lt" Machine, which is universally acknowledged to be tlie most simvle to earn, the easiest to work, unequalled for strength and beauty of stitch, and the most complete and perfect in mechanism and accessories for every variety of Domestic Sewing and Embroidery.

SEWING- MA CHI KE S MABK BY THE BRITANNIA COMPANY, COLCHESTER, ENGLAND, combine thn best parts of the best Machines (avoiding their defects) with some rtcoknt special iaiphove- MRNXS, which no other Machine possesses. Every make of Machine, however f.ir removed from excellence, professes to be better than any other The task of selecting a Sewing Machine is theiefore rather a difficult rrie, especially if the purchaser lias no knowledge of machines, and has no other guide than the reprcsentalion of various dealers Many pcop o convinced of tlie advantage to be derived from using a Machine for needlework do not yet possess ov.e because among so many they are :unable to satisfy themselves as to which make is the best. As a practical man and an Engineer allow m« to point o?it fcutno r,f the advantages of thnse Machines. They will do all that any other Machine iwill, and do it belle, including Hemming, Quilting, Felling, Cording, Binding. Braiding. Stitching, &c, &c.,,with a perfect stitch alike on both sides. They are fitted with an improved tsheatc, which prevents the Machine turninr the wrong way, and so entangling and breaking the thread. They mnko less noise than most Machines, and is the nearest possible approach to noiseless. They are very simple, and will run for years without cos-ting a shilling for repairs. Every Machine is Warranted. Machines let out on hire, the payment for which gops towards the purchase. Mac!iines of other makers t»kon in ex changfl.

Reasons Why DOWNER'S KEROSENE OIL Should^ bo used by Consumers in preference to «ny m.ne Petroleum Oil. lsL'lt is safe, having a fire test of never less than j 125° Fahrenheit. i 2nd. It is finished by distillation, without treatment i with acids .ir.J alkalies ;vs the last process. It is i double distilled for the purpose of removing the acids j and alkalies used in the manufacture of all Potroleum Oils, but which cannot be removed except by their process, 3rd. The Downer Oil being chemically pure, burns ■with moro brilliancy of flame, consuming less oil for a given amount of light. It .fives less trouble, because I the Lamps require loss frequent filling, and the wick less frequent trimming. 4th. Although the Downer Oil costs more per gallon than other oils, it is, in the end, cheaper for the con sumer, because it gives a greater amount of light with, consumption of oil. Your grocer may tell you he has on sale an oil in uality equal to Downer Oil. Don't believe this story. Downer Oil is quoted and known all over the world as the highest standard brand. This reputation has been achieved by its having been made by a better process and more costly than others, which process has.been adhered to from the beginning, without re gard to expense. tf^-N.B.- D OWNER'S KEROSENE THE ONLY BRAND !
