Interesting because I believe a sewing machine was considered a key item
with which to start from scratch and be able to support yourself. There
is a tale in my family that one of my mother's great-aunts went from
Scotland to Chicago in the late 20's, just in time for the Depression,
came back with nothing and the family clubbed together to buy her a
sewing machine so she could earn some money to keep herself.

Yes. It says so on the third link where you see both sides of the postcard
that the machine is insured against all these events.

Can anyone tell me why the Domestic Sewing Machine Company postcardss
featuring pictures of major natural disasters? Was the idea that in the
event of floods, cyclones, etc., your sewing machine would still be present
and intact?
