EDITORS COMMENTS
A peek into the past with this charming advertising postcard featuring the 'New Home' sewing machine, proudly made by Gonyea and Alba of Rutland, Vermont. Circa 1910, this image showcases the convenience and versatility of this sewing machine, allowing repairs to be carried out in the comfort of one's own home. The scene is set in a cozy parlor, where a mother and her sons are gathered around the machine, mending a pair of breeches. The treadle sewing machine, with its intricate design and detailed woodwork, is the center of attention. The amusing and humorous image captures the sons in an upside-down position, hanging from the ceiling, as they attempt to sew a trouser leg in an uncomfortable position. Their playful antics add a touch of fun and lightheartedness to the otherwise mundane task of repairing clothing. This postcard not only highlights the functionality of the New Home sewing machine but also evokes a sense of nostalgia and family bonding. The treadle action of the machine, a common feature during this era, adds to the vintage appeal of the image. Overall, this postcard is a delightful reminder of a simpler time, when mending clothes was a communal activity and a source of entertainment for the whole family.
