WHEELER and WILSON
SEWING MACHINES.

- ATISFIED, after careful examination of the
cprincipal Sewing Machines worthy of any cred
that no other combines many prime quail
les for general that made by the WHEELER
M WILSON Manufacturing Company, the sub
cribers have taken an agency for the sale of these
incompatible Machines. The price of a Machine
obtained of us will be the same as if purchased d-
rectly OF the manufacturers or at any 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 cthom charge, 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 care and skill.
We specify some of the chief points Of excellence
belonging to these machines.
]. Prfcction IF .Shtch No stronger stitch is
made by thanksgiving 1t cannot rip any
than the common back stitch of the scamstrcss, and
takes onchrd less thread to stitch than that does.
The stitch Cine 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 ham
died in the making, by a change of side.
2 Rapidny Of Execution. The saving of time
by its use is hardly credible by one 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 coarscst work by hand does
3. ShHness and Ease Of Notion. The stiffness
OF its motion is surprising. sleeping infant
would not be disturbed by one in active work at its
idc. A dozen of them going in n small room would
be no bar to free conversation. No sewing machine
is made can be made to move with less noise or
less effort
L. 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 we believe one will last an ordinary life
time in family use.
). Size, appearance and Price. The medium
size machine-the one specially adapted for family
use, and the one chiefly used for all purposes, is
very compact in its structure aud the handsomest
machine before the public. The price of this ma
chine is 500. No sewing machine really worth
having for family use can be got for less 1t
every kind of material working equally we'll
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. When wished the machines are
furnished with ornamental cases. in different styles,
at from s 10 to $40. The essential apparatus is
precisely the same IN aU and they sold for CASH
only.
