SEWING MACHINES.

- ATISFIED, after n careful examination Of the
'Sprincipal Sewing Machines worthy Of any cred
1t that no other combines SO many prime quail
ties for general use rs 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 a Machine
obtained of will DO the rs If purchased di-
rectlv of the manufacturers or at any ono 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 use Of the ma
chimes will be given mthom charge, 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 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. II cannot rip any more
than the common back stitch of the seamstrcss, and
takes onebrd less thread to stitch than that does
The stitch Cline or coarse, at the pleasure of the
sewer) is absolutely uniform and is precisely the
same on both sides of the 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.
q Rapidity of Execution. The saving of time
by its use is hardly credible by one 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 by hand docs.

of its motion is surprising. A sleeping infant
would not be disturbed by one in active work at it.
