Singer--which for years was sewing machines.

Well, since Ted hasn't said anything to keep us in stitches, I guess I'll have to mention that it was Elias Howe who invented the first modern sewing machine. Howe he did it makes for a howeling good story. It's said he dreamed of needles with the holes in the wrong end. I guess he got it awl wrong.
