SEWING MACHINES.
FOR TnE

=, ATIsFIED, after careful examination Of the
ISprincpal Sewing Machines worthy Of any cred
il, that no other one combines Sc many prime quail
tiles for general use that made by the WHEELER
AND WILSON Manufacturing Company, the sub
scrbers have taken an agency for the sale of these
incompatible Machines. The price of a Machine
obtained of us will be the as if purchased di-
rectly of the manufacturers or at any one OF their
agencies in the United States. Every machine
sold by will be warranted perfect in its work
manship and ready for use. To all purchasers OF
them practicai instructions in the use of the ma
chimes will be given wthom charge, so that the
luyer may thoroughly understand the principle of
the machine-what every part of 1T docs-and now
the whole may be kept in perfect working order
with reasonable 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 seamstress, ana
takes onstrd less thread to stitch than that does
The stitch Zine coarse at the pleasure oi the
sewor) 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 are more easily nan
died in the making, by change of side.
2. Rdpiduy Of Execution The saving OF time
by its use is hardly credible by one who has moi
seen it in operation. good sewer will easily take
from a thousand to twelve hundred stitches in .
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. sleeping inian
would not be disturbedby one in active work at it

| be no bar to free conversation. No sewing machine

| less effort
| L. Ease Of idjustment, and Durability. From
the peculiar principle of the machine, the fewncs
of its parts and the perfection of its workmanship

good care we believe will last an ordinary lii
time in family
