The Sewing Machine Business and Patent Security
The security of patents spurs men of talent and capital to invest in sewing machines, with millions spent on invention, distribution, and instruction. Wagons travel the country selling on flexible terms, often to those with no money upfront, creating a heavy burden on the business. A canvasser averages one machine per week, with 15 to 20 percent going to the General Agent and manufacturers receiving about 30 to 34 percent of the retail price.
