Ted Rathbun, store president, said that the sewing center came about after months of planning and building. Rathbun's now carries all the internationally famous sewing machines and has a complete sewing machine repair center on the premises, a selection of the most-wanted fabrics, patterns, findings and accessories. Also available is a shop-at-home service for draperies, upholstering and slip covers and a modern vacuum cleaner sales and service. Rathbun invites the public to see the new addition."
