    Supplemental Information:
    American made their machines in
    Philadelphia
    (shown). Why was their exhibit in
    Machinery Hall
    when all the other sewing machine companies such as Singer and Davis had their exhibit spaces in the Manufactures Building? "The Official Directory" of exhibitors category explains why: sewing machines capable of
    stitching HEAVY fabric materials
    such as an industrial setting rather than at home were all placed in Machinery. I don't think this is one of a series of cards showing the main buildings, but was American's
    dedicated Machinery Hall ad
    .
    Condition:
    Excellent.
    Nice printing and bright colors (shown). No tears or stains (shown). Corners sharp (shown). No bends (shown). Backside winning number ad rubbed and lightly soiled (shown).
