About this Item
A nicely preserved folding pamphlet advertising Davis brand sewing machines, a line of vertical feed machines marketed to women as labor saving devices for making domestic tasks easy and efficient. Includes a lengthy pitch for the products, with a price list for the different models. Lists dozens of benefits of this line of machines (e.g. "It will make French folds", "It will gathering without sewing on", etc.). Three of the models are illustrated with model numbers. Measures approx. 5.5" by 3.25" folded, 5.5" by 13" unfolded. Printed in blue and black. Ink stamp of sales agent. The Davis Sewing Machine Company was founded in 1868 and became known for the efficiency of their "vertical feed" machines. By 1892, they had also began producing bicycles and eventually stopped producing sewing machines to meet the 1890s bicycle craze. Very good. Light toning, a couple minor short tears.
