- ATISFIED, after careful examination of the
ISprncipal Sewing Machines worthy of any cred
it that other combines SO many prime quail
ties for general use as that made by the WHEELER
AND WILSON Manufacturing Company, the sub
scrbers have taken agency for tho sale of these
II comparable Machines. The price of Il Machine
obtained of will be the same as if purchased d-
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 use. TO all purchasers of
them prar,rai instructions in the use of the ma

luyer may thoroughly understand the principle of
the mnchino-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
belonging to these machines.
|. Perfection Of Stitch. No stronger stitch is
made by hand-sewing. 1t cannot rip any more
than the common back stitch Of the seamstress, and
takes onc-tird less thread to stitch than that does
The stitch Cline or coarse at the pleasure of the
scwer) 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 ham
! died in the making, by change Of side.
2. Rqpidny of Erecution. 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
