The day does not seem to be very distant whcn

stoves or chairs.
From the manner in which the manufacture Of
this particular Company was first brought before
me, | was convinced that it held pre-emncut
place among those brought before the public H.
specting some machine-stitched goods, / question
cd whether they might not, like some shirt-oosoms
had recently seen, cut along each line Of sewing
on the first or second washing
"Oh, no, madam Taeso arc stitched By a
Wheeler Wilson Machine" answered the store
keeper as il that name was uaquestionable
guaranty of excellence.
" But will they iron wei? Some of tho machine
stitches catch the iron, and make a ridge"
"Ah, that's not not the Wheeler 4 Wilson lock-
stitch. See Madam, it is precisely the same IN
both sides !"
Curious to know whether this gentcman's opin-

opinion confirmed by the verdict Of the scientific

character Of the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Ma

We are having great many inquiries for sew
ing Machines from various parts of the 'untry
and as we cannot conveniently reply to them all
by mail, we have thought it proper To- state our
opinion in regard to them in this public manner.
There are number Of very excellent machines
now in the market which are deservedly success
full. We have, however, usel but one, namely
Wilson's patent manufacture by the Wheeler &
Wilson Manufacturing Company, and we can say
in regard to it, that it is without rival No
other machine exceeds it in its adaptation to all
the purpoes Of domestic use. 1t is simple, not
easily put out of order when in proper hands, and
in point Of effectiveness and finish. no other ma
chine stands ahead of it. We state this much III
regard to this excellent machine upon our own
responsibility.

From the Vermont Chroniele.l
Tho Sewing Machine is now so we'll introduced
into the manufacturing and domestic work Of the
country that there is no longer any need OF COM
mending it. 1t is fast taking its place in the
household, like any other necessary article Of fur
niture
As to tho durability of the best machines, we
have had ono of Wheeler Wilson's in use five
years, and can see no indications of failure in
any part. We do not see but that it is just as
good as when new.
