Hide Profile

New York based sewing machine manufacturer founded in 1853 from a predecessor firm, I.M. Singer and Company, by partners I.M. Singer and Edward Clark.

The first to introduce treadle-operated household sewing machines and a pioneer of the installment plan, the firm quickly expanded through branch offices, including one in Chicago. Managed by James Bolton and his assistant John Voight, the Chicago office's pre-fire locations were 50 Clark St. and 111 State St. During his tenure as head of the Chicago office, Bolton, a machinist, designed the Singer New Family or Model 12 sewing machine.
