SEWING MACHINES.

- ATISFIED, after a careful examination Of the
Cprincpal Sewing Machines worthy of any cred
it that other 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 Machine
obtained of us will be the if purchased di-
recly 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

chimes will be given wthom charge, 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 some of the chief points of excellence
eOnging to these machines.
l. 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 one-hird less thread to stitch than that does.
The stitch Zine or coarse. at the pleasure of the
sewcr) 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. Rapdny 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 a
minute with it, The finest work does not tax the

the peculiar principle of the machine, the fewness
of its parts, and the perfection of its workmanship,
