SALAMANCA,
A PROVINCE OF LEON, IN THE NORTH-WESTERN PART OF SPAIN. THIS
PICTURE IS AN EXACT REPRESENTATION OF THE COSTUME OF THE PEOPLE
OF THE PROVINCE, WHO ARE THE ANCIENT CASTILIANS. THEY ARE VERY
PROUD AND TENACIOUS OF PRESERVING THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
WARRIOR RACE FROM WHICH THEY SPRANG. THE SOLE OCCUPATION OF
THE MASSES IS AGRICULTURE. THE WOMEN ARE SMALL, DELICATE AND
VERY RESERVED. THE CAPITAL CITY OF SALAMANCA ABOUNDS IN INTER-
ESTING SPECIMENS OF THE ROMANESQUE AND RENAISSANCE STYLES OF
ARCHITECTURE, AND FROM ITS MANY COLLEGES HAS BEEN STYLED THE
OXFORD OF SPAIN. THE SINGER MANUFACTURING CO. HAVE THEIR OF-
FICE No. 30 PLAZA MAYOR, AND HAVE FURNISHED THIS PART OF OLD
CASTILE WITH THOUSANDS OF THEIR IMPROVED MACHINES.
THE SINGER MANUFACTURING CO.
