Description: 1885? One two-color TH card advertising the "New Remington Sewing Machine #3." 2¾" x 4¾".

The tortoise is carrying the Remington sewing machine on its back. It is hard for me to tell what the hare is doing! The card lists both a Broadway address in New York City and a factory in Ilion, NY. The verso has a stamped message from J. Ernest Hammond, Bauneg-Beg, Maine. The message invites, in part, the submittal of "names and addresses of 20 ladies that you believe would be interested in our goods or act as agents, and The Monitor will be sent you 6 months free." We also read "Ladies desiring to make money easily should send for wholesale lists" of items like sewing machine needles, spooler rubbers, and bobbins.
