SEWING MACHINES.

- ATISFIED, after careful examination of the
iCprincipal Sewing Machines worthy Of any cred
it that other combines many prime quail
ties for general use as 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 If purchased d.
rectly of the manufacturers or at any Of their
agencio. in the United States Every machine

manship and ready for use. To all purchasers OF

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 back stitch of the scamstrcss, and
takes one-rd less thread to stitch than that docs
The stitch Zine 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 han
died in the making by change of side
2. Rapidny Of Execution. The saving of time
by its is hardly credible by who has not
seen it in operation. A good sewer will easily take
from thousand to twelve hundred stitches in
minute with ii. The finest work does not tax the
eyes as the coarsest work by hand does.
3. Stiffness and Eas. Of Motion. The stiffness
of its motion is surprising. sleeping infant
would not be disturbed by one in active work at its
ide. dozen of them going in 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.
4. Ease Of Adjustment and Durability. From
the peculiar principle of the machine, the fewness
of its parts and the perfection of its workmanship
the adjustments are exceedingly simple and easy 1t
