popular. The agent for these indispensable articles in every well-regulated

established the business in 1881 at No. 148 Manhattan avenue, E. D. 

The premises occupied are elegantly fitted up and supplied with every convenience 
for the display of goods. The supply of sewing-machines is large, and includes 
both new and second-hand productions of nearly all manufacturers, the 
"Helpmate" and "New Home," however, predominating in quantity, quality, and 
variety of styles. Mr. Simpson makes a specialty of repairing sewing-machines, 
and executes all work of that kind skillfully and satisfactorily. 

Being a practical and experienced work-man, he can be intrusted with the most 
intricate and difficult work of this kind, he likewise keeps constantly on hand 
a full and complete stock of supplies, such as silk, linen and cotton threads, 
shuttles, needles, hemmers, fellers, and other attachments, also oil and oil-cans, 
belts, screw-drivers, etc., which are offered to customers at the lowest prices.
