  This document represents a promissory-style payment note issued for the use and hire of a Singer sewing machine, reflecting the popular installment and rental system used by Singer in the late 1800s. Dated July 1879, it is signed by Eleanor H. Greene and remains a strong example of Victorian-era commercial ephemera.
