AGENCY
SEWING MACHINES.

- ATISFIED, after careful examination of the
cprincipal Sewing Machines worthy of any cred
ii that no other one combines Sc many prime quail
ties for general that made by the WHEELER
AND WILSON Manufacturing Company, the sub
scrbers have taken agency for the sale of these
a comparable Machines. The price of Machine
obtained of us will DO the same as If purchased di-
rectly of the manufacturers or at any one of their
agencies in the United States. Every machine
sold by us will BIO warranted perfect in its work
manship and ready for use. To all purchasers of
them practical instructions in the of the ma
chimes will be given Without charge, so that the
luyer may thoroughly understand the principle of
the machine-what every part Of it does-and how
the whole may be kept in perfect working order
with reasonable care and skill.
We specify some of the chief points of excellence
belonging to these machines.
|. Perfection Of Stitch No stronger stitch is
made by thanksgiving 1t cannot rip any more
than the common back stitch of the scamstress and
takes one-trd less thread to stitch than that does
The stitch Zine 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 a
garment, because some parts arc more easily ham
died in the making, by change of side.
2. Rapidity of Erecution. The saving of time
by its use is hardly credible by who has not
seen it in operation. good sewer will easily take
from thousand to twelve hundred stitches in a
minute with it, The finest work does not tax the
eyes the coarsest work by hand doec.
g. Sadness and Ease Of Notion. The stiffness
of its motion is surprising. A sleeping infant
would not be disturbed by in active work at its
idc. dozen of them going in a small room would
be no bar to free conversation. No sewing machine
is made can be made to move with less noise or
less effort.
