It is officered by men well known in business circles here and men who give to the business their personal and undivided attention. In this way customers and patrons are assured of the highest possible grade of service and this they have learned to expect in placing their orders for ice cream made by The Dayton Ice Cream and Dairy Company. Its plant is sanitary, large and clean throughout and this is a principle insisted upon by the proprietors. We have no hesitancy in recommending to our friends that they give this concern a very liberal share of their patronage.

THE DAVIS SEWING MACHINE CO.
Dayton, Ohio
There is one factory in Dayton that has a reputation among employes for length of continuous employment that is rarely ever equaled. This factory is The Davis Sewing Machine Company, which now employs more than 1800 men and women in the manufacture of sewing machines, bicycles and various smaller screw machine and forge products. The institution was organized at Watertown, N. Y. in 1863 by Job Davis, the inventor of the Vertical Feed Sewing Machine. About 30 years ago the factory was moved to Dayton on account of the more central location and better railroad facilities. At that time several Dayton people became interested in the organization, and now it is owned practically entirely by Dayton residents. A hundred or more of the old employees moved from Watertown to Dayton at the time the factory was transferred, and a number of these are still connected with the organization. Last June the board of directors gave a banquet to their oldest employe upon the eve of his departure, after fifty years’ continuous service. To the banquet were invited all employes who had been with the company twenty years or more, and it was found that more than 200 were present who could boast of this unusual length of continuous employment. While the Davis Sewing Machine Company was originally founded for the purpose of manufacturing sewing machines, in 1895 it established a cycle department, and since then has grown to be the world’s largest producer of bicycles. The company’s output in 1917 was more than 100,000 bicycles, of which its two most prominent lines are the Dayton and the Yale. Its sewing machine business is of equal volume, and the company ranks among the five largest producers of sewing machines. Davis Sewing Machines are very well known, and the company also enjoys a large business with several wholesalers and mail order houses who sell Davis-made machines under their own name.
