SEWING MACHINES.

- ATISfIED, after careful examination OF The
kCprncipal Sewing Machines worthy Of any cred
1t, that other one combines sc many prime quail
titles for general use ms that made by the WHEELER
AND WILSON Manufacturing Company, the sub
scrbers have taken agency for the sale of these
incompatible Machines. The price of n Machine
obtained of us will be the game If purchased di
recty of the manufacturers or at any one of their
agencies in the United States Every machine
sold by us will be warranted perfect in its work.
manship and ready for use. 10 all purchasers of
them practical instructions In the use of the ma
chimes will be given icithom charge, so that tho
luyer may thoroughly understand the principle of
the machno-what every part of it does-and how
the whole may be kept in perfect working order
with reasonable and skill.
We specify of the chief points of excellence
belonging to these machines
!. Perfection Of Stitch No stronger stitch is
made by hand-sewing 1t cannot rip any more
than the common back stitch of the seamstress, and
takes onetird less thread to stitch than that does.
The stitch Cine or coarse at the pleasure of the
sewer) is absolutely uniform, and is precisely the
same on both sides of the seam. This last quality
is of signal advantage, sometimes, in making
garment, because some parts are more easily nan
died in the making, by change of side.
2. Rapidity Of Execution. The saving of time
by its use is hardly credible by who has not
seen it in operation. good sewer will easily take
from n thousand to twelve hundred stitches in a
minute with it. The finest work does not tax the
| eyes the coarscst work by hand does
| 3. Stiffness and Ease Of Notion. The stiffness
| of its motion is surprising. a sleeping infant
would not be disturbed by in active work Mt its
ide a dozen of them going in n small room would
| be no bar to free conversation. No sewing machine
| is made or can be made to move with less noise or
| less effort.
| 4. Ease of adjustment, and DUabihy From
the peculiar principle of the machine, the fewness
of its parts, and the perfection of its workmanship,
the adjustments exceedingly simple and easy. 1t
is kept in working order with great ease, and with
good caro- we believe one will last ordinary life
time in family
;. SIZE Appearance and Price. The mod'um-
size machine--the specially adapted for family
use, and the chiefly used for all purposes, is
very compact in its structure, aud the handsomest
machine before the public. The price of this ma
chine is 500. No sewing machine really worth
having for family use can be got for less sum. 1t
sews every kind of material working equally well
upon silk, linen, wooden and cotton goods-scam
ing, quilting, gathering, hemmng, &c, with O
beauty and strength unequalled by any machine
that we have When wished the machines are
furnished with ornamental cases, in different styles
at from SllO to $40. The essential apparatus il
