WHEELER and WILSON
sEWING MACHINES.

- ATISF1ED, after q careful examination Of tho |
ICprincipal Sewing Machines worthy Of any cred
II that no other one 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 the sale OF these
a comparable Machines The price of Machine
obtained of us will be tho as if purchased d.
roctly 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 Of tho ma
chimes will be given without charge, so that the
luyer may thoroughly understand the principle OF
the machino-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 seamstress and
takes onerd less thread to stitch than that does
The stitch (ine or coarse. at tho 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 parts are more easily han
died In the making, by change of side
2. Ropduy 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
minute with it, The finest work does not tax the
eyes as the coarsest work by hand docs.
j. ShitaeSS and Ease Of 4HOt,On The stiffness
| of its motion is surprising. sleeping infant
would not be disturbed by one in active work at its
| idc. 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
less effort
A. Ease Of Adjustment, and Durability. From
the peculiar principle of the machine the fcwnoss
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 one will last an ordinary life
time il family
>. Sisc, appearance aRd Pricr. The mtdiam-
SIZE machinc-the one specially adapted for family
use, and the chiefly used for all purposes, is
very compact in its structure aud the handsomest
machine before tho 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-scam
ing, quilting, gathering, hcmming, &c, with a
beauty and strength unequalled by any machine
that We have seen. When wished the machines arc
furnished with ornamental cases, in different styles
at from 81 10 to $40. The essential apparatus is
precisdyh the same IN al, and they arc sold for CASH
only.

Wilson Sewing Machine, by means of which the
