Lays Cornerstone Singer manufactured sewing machines, more frequently called "iron needlewomen." He and his competitors did more than revolutionize wonan's lot by freeing her from the drudgery of endless sewing. They laid a cornerstone for the huge readymade garment industry which in the United States alone is an $11-billion a year operation. Singer's company also developed a device called "installment-plan buyling" and instituted the "trade-in allowance." All in all, the centennial of the patenting of the first practical sewing machine is a fine time for thought on the wonders of invention. The industrial revolution was in full swing when Singer came up with his idea. The flying shutte, the spinning jenny, and the cotton gin were replacing hand labor in manufacture.
The placid, rural faces of Britain and America were changing as cities sprang up around factories. operated machines were replacing the horse and the canvas sail. Clanking machinery was taking the place of the graceful spinning wheel and the leisurely hand loom, but there was one bottleneck. Mankind still 'relied largely on the flying fingers of womankind to make its clothes. At best hands could run off 40 stitches a minute.
Singers experimental machine zipped off 250 at one clip and soon chewed in and out of cloth a thousand and more times in 60 seconds. Not Original Inventor Singer, did not invent the sewing machine. He improved on it and made it practical. In 1735 Charles Weisenthal whipped up a contraption usland an the center. In 1790 an ing a needle, with two sharp points Englishman.
Thomas Saint. invented a stitching machine to work on leather. Barthelemy Thimmonier, a French tailor. invented a wooden machine and had 80 of them working on Army uniforms in 1841 when frightened competitors smashed them in the belief the things might ruin their livelihoods, Singer saw an imitation of Howe's machine. He quickly assessed the mistakes in its construction and with $10 in borrowed capital went to work on his own improvement.
He was to patent the improvements. Acceptance of the slow. Singer, showman and promoter, tirelessly demonstrated his product at county exhibitions. He and his associates. put out the first home sewing machine in 1856-the "turtleback" for $125.
That was a lot of money in those days, so his canny partner. Lawyer Edward Clark, hit upon the installment plan so that a family with modest income could acquire a sewing machine and have the use of it during the long period paying for it. What the sewing machine did for women of the 19th century is almost immeasurable. Up to the time the industrial revolution started, the only fit occupation for a was con: sidered to be matrimony. Once released from the abject necessity of constant sewing: women gradually allowed an ages old handcraft to fall into unpopularity.
The 1920's produced a generation of young women who actually boasted their ignorance of the needle the way their own grandmothers had talked big about their prowess of turning a fine hem. The freedom of wonien from the tyranny of the thimble literally changed the course of history. Women used their found leisure to contemplate the. social and political scene. This led them directly to the vote.
Women streamed into the labor marts of the world in increasing numbers. The envisioned bug-bear-technological employment caused by the newfangled machine--never materialized. Instead, new thousands of jobs were created. Whole new areas of opened up, new industries sprang into life. The sewing machine is as ubiquitous as sin.
The machines operate in mud huts of darkest Africa. in igloos beyond the Artic Circle. Specially built machines catch together gossamer nylon threads to make the sheerest hosiery. Others dig through inches of tough materials to provide equipment for heavy industry.

World War Il proved what a burden the remainder America was on this fine independent' state, which provided its alien friends in Washington with most of their naval brass and all of their Air Force.
