| Text on back reads, "SWEDEN (The "Dalkullan"). The accompanying illustration is reproduced from a photograph by our agent at Stockholm, Sweden, and is the first of a series of similar subjects obtained by us in like manner to illustrate national costumes all over the world. The characteristic tall blonde of the northern races is typified in this instance by a "Dalkullan," or native of Dalarne, a mountainous interior district of Sweden, where the old fashions and costumes are preserved. The two great silver buttons fastening the flowing collar, the brooches at the throat and bow, the belt clasp and other jewelry are silver heirlooms; the apron is homespun, in brilliant colors, similar to a Roman scarf. Sweden has given to us Jenny Lind, Neilson and other sweet singers. We send annually to her many thousand "American Singers," silent but useful. For the Convenience of all Sewing-Machine users, there are Singer stores every city. Look for the Red "S" When in need of a sewing-machine, or accessories. Needles for all makes of sewing-machines."
