Its title, *The Nation's Pride*, sets this card apart from the other sewing machine advertisements on the board by linking a household appliance to patriotic feeling. Manufacturers handed out trade cards like this one in the late 1800s to put their names in homes, and sewing machine makers were among the most prolific issuers, competing hard for the family market. The name Standard Rotary Shuttle identifies a particular machine, and the card shows how advertisers borrowed national sentiment to suggest that a well-made domestic product was a source of civic pride.
