Weeds Patent Sewing Machines.

THIS is the most reliable Sewing Machines ever
offered in this market, both in the quality Of its
work, its durability and simplicity. The opera
ton of it is easier learned thar that of any other
Machine, while it works with ease on the finest
silk or the heaviest cloth or leather, on either Of
which it works in q very superior manner; ma
king a straight evenly laid seam, much finer than
ordinary hand work, while both sides of the cloth
are stitched alike, rivaling in beauty the most ele-
CANT hand work, it rarely gets out Of working or
der or requires repairing, and Is so simple that an
operator can perform all ordinary repairs on it,
until it is worn out. With these advantages over
other Machines, we feel confident Weeds Patent
Sewing Machines will best meet the wants Of
Families, all kinds of Manufacturing Clothiers,
Tailors, Boot and Shoe Makers, or any others re-
curing a seam in their work. Harness and Sad
die Manufacturers will find this a Machine that
will dc their work in a rapid and substantial man
ner, and much nicer than the ordinary way
Families who req uire much sewing will find this
Machine peculiarly adapted to their wants, besides
saving laoor enough in a few months to pay for
it. Tailors will find a great saving by using this
Sewing Machine, besides being always sure of q
superior quality of work that does not rip easily,
and that looks much nicer than hand work. Boot
aud Shoe Manufacturers can save Thousands Of
Dollars by using this Machine, while for many
purposes, the work done on leather by this Ma
chine, is better than if done in any other way.
The editor o. the Cedartown Georgia. Patriot
says, When we purchased your Weeds Patent
Sewing Machine, we intended 1t wholly for family
use, but as it was recommended to sew on leather
we tried it on Harness and Carriage Trimmings
and many of our neighbors can testify to the SUI
periority of the work done in this way, both in
point of beauty and strength, and We feel conf
dent for this alone, the machine has saved labor
enough to pay its cost. One of our neighbers who
has a large plantation says, it is worth the wages
+ of his two best hands in the time it saves in ma
king clothes for the rest Every Machine you
have sold in this vicinity has given the greatest
satisfaction, and several intend to order Machines
from you soon.
Extract from a letter written by q gentleman,
owning a plantation near New Orleans. Your two
Weeds Patent Sewing Machines have been in
almost constant use since L bought them, and with
the best of practical results. In less than threa
weeks the TWO operators on them finished a COM
plete suit of clothes for each of my two hundred
and ten plantation hands, and / find the time saved
In using them one season, has more than paid theil
! cost.
Another Planter says, I used to employ tire,
or four hands in making clothes for the rest, bu
since I purchased your Weeds Patent Sewn,
Machine, one hand does the sewing for the Who'll
plantation, while my wife uses it for making nearl
! all the clothes of the family. / feel confident tn
; Machine pays for itself every three months.
We wish all who need D Machine to ex min
these, as they are the simplest and best for Fanil
use, Plantation or any other use where a stitch
required. Price of Weeds Patent Sewing Ma
q chimes 500 and $3.50.
