SEWING MACHINES.

s. ATISFIED, after careful examination Of the
>cprincipal Sewing Machines worthy of any cred
it that other combines Sc many prime quail
ties for general use as that made by the WHEELER
AND WILSON Manufacturing Company, the sub
scribers have taken agency for the sale of these
a comparable Machines. The price of n Machine
obtained Of us will DO the same as if purchased d-
recly 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. To all purchasers of
them PRACTICAL instructions in the Of tho ma
chimes will be given withom oharqs so that the
luyer may thoroughly understand the principle Of
the machine-what every part Of it docs-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 back stitch Of the seamstrcss, and
takes one-fhrd less thread to stitch than that does
The stitch Zine or coarse at the pleasure of the
scwer) is absolutely uniform, and is precisely the
same on both sides of the seam. This last quality
is of signal advantage, sometimes, in making n
garment, because some parts are more easily han
died in the making, by n change of side.
2. Rapidny of Execution. The saving of time
by its use is hardly credible by who has not
seen it in operation. A good sewer will easily take
from thousand to twelve hundred stitches in a
minute with it. The finest work does not tax the
eyes as the cOarsest work ny hand docs
3. Stiffness and Ease of Notion. The stiffness
of its motion is surprising. sleeping infant
would not be disturbed by ono in active work at its
ide. A dozen of them going in 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, aud Durability. 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 care we believe one will last an ordinary life
time in family use
5. Size, APPEARANCE and Price The medium
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
chino is 500. No sewing machine really worth
having for family be got for less sum. 1t
sews every kind of material, working equally well
upon silk, linen, wooden and cotton goods-seam-
ing, quilting, gathering, hemming, &C., with a
beauty and strength unequaled by any machine
that have wivn --;eh cd, tho machines are
