SEWING MACHINES.

- ATISFIED, after a careful examination OF the
Sprincipal Sewing Machines worthy Of any cred
1t that no other one combines many prime quail
ties for general use as that made by the WHEELER
AND WILSON Manufacturing Company, the sub
scribcrs have taken agency for the sale of these
a comparable Machines The price Of a Machine
obtained Of us will he the same rs 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 use of the ma
chimes will be given mithom charge, so that the
luyer may thoroughly understand the principle Of
the machinc-whnt 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
clongng to these machines.
|. Prtection If Stitch. No stronger stitch is
made by thanksgiving. 1t cannot rip any more
than the common back stitch of the seamstrcss and
takes on,-rd 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 scam. This last quality
is of signal advantage, sometimes in making a
garment, because some parts more easily han
died in the making, by change of side
2 Rdp,dny Of Er,oution. 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 10 twelve hundred stitches in n
| minute with it. The finest work does not tax the
| eyes as the coarscst work by hand does
| 3. MHaess and Ease of Notion. The stiffness
of its motion is surprising. sleeping infant
would not be disturbed by one in active work Mt
ide. dozen of them going in r 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.
| 4. Eds, 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 case, and with
good believe one will last ordinary life
