Check out this vintage advertisement for H. Hanson’s Sewing Machine Agency’s carload sale of Wheeler & Wilson sewing machines. It comes from 1902’s
Seattle Mail And Herald, boasting a ruffler that will “ruffle everything but your temper” and whichever model you buy is sure to “turn drudgery into pastime.” Now that’s how to market a sewing machine! Though I’m afraid that if you heed the call to action today and go down to
215 Columbia Street looking for a sewing machine, you’ll only find
Pacific Northwest Title Company. I guess that sale really didn’t last forever. Click on the image for a larger view.

I just wanted to say that I have your feed coming into my livejournal and look forward to seeing what you’ll post about next! I’m an avid seamstress, so this is an exciting find!

Hey Mineke,
Glad to hear it, thanks for the kind words. I just hope that’s not the first and last sewing related post
