FOR THE
WHEELER and WILSON
SEWING MACHINES.


SATISFIED, after n careful examination of the
tJprincipal Sewing Machines worthy of any cred
it that no other one combines SO many prime quail
ties for general 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 a Machine
obtained of us will be the same ms il 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 use of the ma
chimes will be given ,cithom charge, so that the
luyer may thoroughly understand the principle of
the machine-what every part of it does-and how
the whole may be kept in perfect working order
with reasonable and skill.
We specify some of the chief points of excellence
elonging to these machines.
]. Perfection Of Stttch. No stronger stitch is
made by thanksgiving. 1t cannot rip any moro
than the back stitch of the seamstress, and
takes oncrd 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 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. Rapidhy Of Erecmion. The saving of time
by its use is hardly credible by who has not
seen it in operation. 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 does.
3. ShAasss and Ease If Notion. The stiffness
of its motion is surprising. A sleeping infant
would not be disturbed by one in active work Mt its
ide. dozen of them going in a 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
A. Ease Of adjustment, and Durability. From
the peculiar principle of the machine the fcwncss
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 we believe one will last ordinary life
| time in family
| >. Size, APPEARANCE and Price. The medium
| size machne-the one specially adapted for family
| use, and the chiefly used for all purposes, is
very compact in its structure. aud the handsomcst
| machine before the public The price of this ma
| chine is Sl00 No sewing machine really worth
| having for family use can be got for less sum. II
| sews every kind of material working equally wei
| upon silk linen, wooden and cotton goods-seam
ing, quilting, gathering, hemming, &C., with {
| beauty and strength uncqualled by any machine
| that we have seen. When wished, the machines are
furnished with ornamental cases. in different styles
ut from $40 to $40. The essential apparatus il
precisely the same in a and they sold for CAST
only.
The IIEMMER-nn additional piece of mcchan

can be furnished for attachment to the Wheeler an'
Wilson Sewing Machine by means of which thu
machine will hem without any basting or previou
