SEWING MACHINES.

SATISFIED, after careful examination of the
Sprincipal Sewing Machines worthy of any cred.
II, that no other combines Sc many prime quail
tiles for general use as that made by the WHEELER
AND WILSON Manufacturing Company, the sub
scribers have taken an agency for the sale Of these
Incompatible Machines. The price OF Machine
obtained of us will be the as If purchased di-
rcctly of the manufacturers or 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 To all purchasers OF
them pracf,cai instructions in the use of the ma
chimes will be given without charge, 30 that the
luycr 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 of the chief points OF excellence
belonging to these machines.
|. Perfection Of Stitch. No stronger stitch Il
made by thanksgiving, II cannot rip any more
than the common back stitch of the seainstres ana
takes one-trd less thread to stitch than that does
The stitch (fino or coarse at the pleasure of the
sewer) is absolutely uniform, and is precisely the
same both sides Of the seam. This last quality
| is Of signal advantage, sometimes in making a
garment, because some parts are more easily han
| died in the making, by change of side
| 2. RaDidHV of Execution. 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 coarscst work by hand does.
3. StiinesS amt Ease Of Mytion. The stiffness
of its motion is surprising sleeping infant
| would not be disturbed by in active work at it;
| ide. A dozen of them going in small room would
be no bar to free conversation. No sewing machine
| is made can be made to move with less noise oi
| less effort
| 4. Ease Of Adjustment, and Durdbldy. From
the peculiar principle of the machine, the fcwness
of its parts, and the perfection of its workmanship
the adjustments are exceedingly simple and easy II
is kept in working order with great ease and witt
| good caro- we believe one will last ordinary life
time in family
). Size, appearance and Price. The medium
size machine-thc one specially adapted for family
use, and the one chiefly used for all purposes, il
very compact in its structure, aud the handsomes
machine before the public. The price of this ma
chine is 500. No sewing machine really worti
having for family can be got for a less sum. l
sews every kind Of material, working equally vel
| upon silk, linen, wooden and cotton goods-scam
| ing, quilting gathering, hemming, &c, with
| beauty and strength unequaled by any machin
that we have seen When wished, the machines ar
furnished with ornamental cases, in different styles
at from SllO to $40. The essential apparatus
precisely the all, and they are sold for CAST
only
The HEMMER-an additional piece Of mechan
ism lately patented, very simple and ingenious
can be furnished for attachment to the Wheeler an

machine will hem without any basting or previou
