There are so many homes possessing and enjoying them that there are two certain articles of mechanical character that may be safely regarded as essential parts of the home equipment. One of them is for service; the other for entertainment.
The first mentioned is the sewing machine and the second is the phonograph or talking machine.
Homes of Lumberton and Robeson county enjoy unexcelled facilities for access and possession of either or both of these mechanical devices, just as they choose for Mr. J.B. Bruton, manager of the Lumberton office of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, also is the local agent for the Edison phonograph.
Mr. Bruton established himself here in these lines about three years ago and he has built a large clientele for himself in one or both lines in which he specializes. He has been serving the people well in both since he started.
The store of Mr. Bruton is a well appointed and conveniently located place, is large and roomy and comfortable and for the demonstration of records of which he carries a large and exclusive stock he has a sound-proof room.
In connection with the sewing machine agency Mr. Bruton conducts a business of doing fine hemstitching and fancy pleating. Skilled machine and hand operatives are employed and very beautiful and well executed work is produced.
Mr. Bruton is a native of Cumberland county having come to Robeson county about 10 years ago. He has always taken a keen interest in local affairs and is ever ready to put his “shoulder to the wheel” and give a boost where it will best advance the welfare of this section.
