This section consists of bound records, which are available only on microfilm, and four boxes of loose advertising material and company publications. The loose materials are an artificial (and very incomplete) series of items selected from locations throughout the collection either because of their visual quality or because the material had been published. Included are advertising brochures, price lists, examples of early Singer logos and symbols, drawings of Singer buildings, examples of advertising and letterheads issued by competitors and by illegal users of the Singer name, publications issued for their salesmen by several Singer branches, examples of sewing and artwork produced by various Singer machines, instructions (including a sheet pertaining to use of Singer's 1851 machine), photographic portraits of salesmen (circa 1895), blank forms used by the company, and duplicate copies of some forms retained for exhibit purposes. The nine microfilmed volumes of advertising correspondence consist of letters from agents, newspapers, journals, publishers, and printers to Singer executive offices concerning the terms available for advertising space and proposals for advertisements. Also included are copies of agreements on costs.
