AGENCY
FOR THE
WHEELER and WILSON
SEWING MACHINES.

~ ATISF1ED, after careful examination of the
'Cprincipal Sewing Machines worthy of any cred
that no other one combines sc many prime quail
les for general as that made by the WHEELER
ND WILSON Manufacturing Company, the sub
ribcrs have taken an agency for the sale of these
Incompatible Machines. The price of Machine
obtained of us will be the same as if purchased di-
rcctly 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 cuhom charge, that the
luyer 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
elongng 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 onethrd less thread to stitch than that does
The stitch Zine 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
garment, because some parts are more easily han
died in the making, by change Of side.
2. Rapidny of Execution. The saving of time
by its use is hardly credible by who has not
seen it in operation. A 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 dOeg.
B. Sadness and Ease Of Notion. The stiffness
OF its motion is surprising. sleeping infant
would not be disturbed by in active work at its
dc. dozen of them going in 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
4. 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 exceedingly simple and easy. 1t
is kept in working order with great ease, and with
good care we believe one will last an ordinary life
time in family use
). Size, appearance and Price The medium
size machine-the one specially adapted for family
use, and the one chiefly used for all purposes, is
very compact in its structure. aud the handsomest
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 a less sum- 1t
sews every kind of material, working equally well
upon silk linen, wooden and cotton goods-scam-
ing, quilting, gathering, hemmng &c, with a
beauty and strength unequalled by any machine
that we have seen. When wished the machines
furnished with ornamental cases in different styles,
at from SllO to Sl40. The essential apparatus is
precisely the all, and they sold for CASH
only.
The HEMMER-an additional piece Of mechan-
ism lately patented, very simple and ingenious,
can be furnished for attachment to the Wheeler and
Wilson Sewing Machine. by means of which the
machine will hem without any busting previous
