belonging to these machines. 80,

made by thanksgiving. 1t cannot rip any more
than the common back stitch of the seamstress' anu

The stitch Zine or coarse at the pleasure oil the
sewer) is absolutely uniform, and 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 nam
died in the making, by change Of side
2. Rapidny Of Execution. The saving OF time
by its use is hardly credible by one who has not
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 as the coarsest work by hand docs
2. StilIn,ss ami Eas, Of Notion The stiffness
of its motion is surprising. sleeping infant

less effort.
4. Ease Of adjustment, and Durability. From
the peculiar principle of the machine, tho fcwncss
of its parts and the perfection of its workmanship,
the adjustments dinghy simple and easy It

according to size, and style of mounting, plain
table or in ornamental cases &c. All are beautiful
in appearance and perfect in their working.
Tho medium size machine, is specially adapted
for family use is very compact in its structure, and
the handsomest machine before the public. II
scws 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 unequalled by any machine
that we have seen. They sold by us at the same
prices ms at the Factory Of the company, and fol
cash only.
The HEAIMER--an additional piece of mechan-
ism lately patented, very simple and ingenious,
is furnished for attachment to the Wheeler and
Wilson Sewing Machine, by means of which the
machine will hem without any basting or previous
turning of the hem. The price of the Hemmer il
IS. 1t adds greatly to value of the whole.
