~ ATISFIED, after careful examination of the
tCprincipal Sewing Machines worthy of any cred
it that no other one combines many prime quail
ties for general use that made by the WHEELER
AND WILSON Manufacturing Company, the sub
scribers have taken agency for the sale of these
n comparable Machines. The price of a Machine
obtained of us will be the same as if purchased di-
rectly of the manufacturers 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 the ma
chimes will be given ,oithom charge, so that the
Luyer may thoroughly understand the principle of
the machinc-what every part of it does-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 IF Stitch. No stronger stitch is
made by thanksgiving. 1t cannot rip any more
than the common back stitch Of the seamstress and
takes one-trd less thread to stitch than that does.
The stitch (fne 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. Rapdny Of E1ecmion. The saving of time
by its is hardly credible by who has not
seen it in operation. good sewer will easily take
from thousand to twelve hundred stitches in
minute with it, The finest work does not tax the
eyes the coarsest work by hand doec
;. Stliness and Ease Of Notion. The stiffness
OF its motion is surprising. a sleeping infant
would not be disturbed by in active work at its
idc. dozen of them going in a small room would
be no bar to free conversation. No sewing machine
is made can be made to move with less noise
less effort.
A. 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 exceedingly simple and easy. 1t
is kept in working order with great ease, and with
good care we believe one will last ordinary life
time in family use.
.. Size, appearance and Price. The medium

chine is $780, No sewing machine really worth
having for family can be got for less sum. 1t
