SAT1sFIED, after careful examination Of tho

ties for general use that made by the WHEELER
and WILSON Manufacturing Company, the sub
scrbers have taken an agency for the sale of these

chimes will be given Without charge, so that the
luyer may thoroughly understand the principle Of
the mnchnc-what every part of it docs-nnd 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.
i. Perfection NJ Stitch. No stronger stitch is
made by thanksgiving. It cannot rip any more
than the common back stitch Of the scamstress and
takes one-fhrd less thread to stitch than that does
Tho stitch Zine or coarse, at the pleasure of the
sewer) is absolutely uniform and is precisely the
same on both sides of tho seam. This last quality
is OF signal advantage, sometimes, in making
garment, because some parts moro easily ham
died in the making, by n change Of side.
2. Rapid,ty of Execution. The saving of time
by its use is hardly credible by one who has not
seen it in operation. good scwer will easily take
from thousand to twelve hundred stitches in a
minute with it. Tho finest work does not tax tho
eyes as the coarsest work by hand doce
8. Stiffness and Ease Of Notion Tho stiffness
Of its motion is surprising. sleeping infant

ide. dozen of them going in a small room would
be no bar to free conversation. No sowing machine
is made DO made to move with less noise or
less effort
4. Ease of Adjustment, and Durability. From
tho peculiar principle of tho machine, tho fewncss
of its parts and the perfection Of its workmanship
the adjustments are exceedingly simple and easy It
