Tho Sewing Machines made by tho Singer Manufacturing Company are acknowledged by common consent to be by far the best Sewing Machines that mechanical ingenuity has been able to produce. Although the Sin*er Sewing Maohines are comparatively late in tho field, yet the extraotdinary demand for them daring Iho past few years—as indicated by the successive nnnual sales—has obliged this enter prising company to incrca" 'their Factories to an extent that aeems almo incredible. Tho largest of their Factories is at Elizabeth. Now Jersey. Here, the main building has 1100 feet frontage; Forging Shops, 700 feet; Foundry,6oo feet by 100 feet; Cabinet Shop, 200 feet; Packing Shops, 200 feet; The main building has four floors: the Cabinet and Packing Shops have each three floors. Entire works employs 3.600 men. The yard contains 6 miles railroad tracks.
