SEWING MACHINES.

- ATlSFIED, after careful examination of the
'Sprtncipal Sewing Machines worthy Of any cred
it that no other combines many prime quail
ties for general use as that made by the WHEELER
and WILSON Manufacturing Company, the sub
scrbors have taken agency for the sale of these
a comparable Machines The price of n Machine
obtained of us will be the as If purchased di-
recty of tho manufacturers or at any one of their
agencies in the United States. Every machine
sold by us will be warranted perfect in its work
manshp and ready for use To all purchasers of
them practical instructions in the use of the ma
chimes will be given Uthom charge, that the
iuyer 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.
/. Perfection Of Stitch. No stronger stitch is
made by thanksgiving. 1t cannot rip any more
than the common back stitch of the seamstrcss and
takes onshird less thread to stitch than that does
The stitch (lne 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 a
garment, because some parts are more easily han
died in the making, by change Of side.
2. R1piday If 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 a thousand to twelve hundred stitches in n
minute with it. The finest work does not tax the
eyes as the coarscst work by hand doeC.
8. Stiffness 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 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 fewness
of its parts and the perfection of its workmanship,
the adjustments are exceedingly simple and easy. 1t
is kept in working order with great case, and with
good care we believe will last an ordinary life
time in family use.
.. Sise, appearance anil Price, The medium
size machinc-the specially adapted for family
use, and the one 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 500. No sewing machine really worth
having for family use can be got for less sum. 1t
sews every kind of material, working equally well
upon silk linen wooden and cotton gOOds-seam-
ing, quilting, gathering, hemming, &c, with a
beauty and strength uncqualled by any machine
that we have seen. When wished the machines are
furnished with ornamental cases. in different styles,
at from Sll0 to $40. The essential apparatus is

only.
