Wheeter e Wilson's Machines knoc to be The reputation
OF tho SLOAT and the WEEDS Sewing Machines is now
conspicuous that like all shining they the
target OF every manufacturer Of other Machines who

s caro- mat mean dsespect to the Agent of
Baker Machines and still believe there mistake in his
Advertisements which he cannot be cognzant of.
One OF the prominent features in the SIoAT Sewing Machine
h that 1t does with the obnoxious Pad and
nenee It's INFINITE superiority Wheeler Wilson's Machines
As many PARTIES unacquaind in these matters may
plugged by the flaming of the Wheeler VIII
sons Sewing Machines will quote from printed pamphlet
Of the the drecon using the objection
able ''Pad.' Here they
Special Observations Concerning the Pad.
There is scarcely anything apparently insignificant
ana yet OF greater consequence than the pad large portion
OF the dhcues experienced by operating machine
arises from their ignorance of It's purpose.
The pad is small strip Of leather piece Of iron project
Ing from under the hook Its object is thread on
the hook till another stitch commenced by the point of the
hook taking the thread from needle When the pad i, of
the proper shape and thickness the held on the hook
until the notch the outside edge hook the pad
The thread then thrown off, II the pad thin the thread
is thrown OH the hook before reaching NOTCH causing the
Unread 70 catch and ange round the point hook and
breaking the thread When the pad thick the thread
hed 100 long, and leads to similar result cases. the
Unread Will inevitably break In nine ten the
cause OF s owing entirely to want or care in
keeping the pad in proper order.
The pad should be beveed santine on the Under
side to have thin edge towards the machine The leather of
which Is made should be of tough yet pabe nature
the smooth or uncut side should be uppermo the hook
When pad rough the thread is passing over
it, drop or two Of oil will keep smooth and is
frequently all that is needed when for
the breaking of the thread.
when pad is inserted, It should be drawn in tightly
which can be done with pair of small pliers Should the pad
can be fattened in its place pnchng firmly with the pliers
or pressing down the inside edge with the screw driyer
sLoAT and the WEEDS Sewing Machines will stand before
the public sans peur Il reprocie.
