Although the disgracefn used the Sewing
Machine premium in Jackson Miss have been clearly exposed
and possibility remains to lessen the odum Justly
attached to all the parties concerned still the Wheeler Wilson
Agent i'll this city supposng doubtless the justified the
means, is exulng his premium victory. He
come to all such yictores and the similar
used by Wa Agents places the rule that would
deprive them of their got hono consign all
their umphs to the humbuggery where in the esti
nation of the public, they belong
Had not the Wheeler Wilson agents strongly impressed
with consciousness of the decided nferiory of their machines
they would have the being caught
and in their piful scheme obtain unjust award
Premium humbugs only link in the chain schemes
to msead the public. Exaggerated the number
of machines sold and continual nerrate the sale Of
other machines, is avore hobby of The w. W. Agents
AS the machines of all the principal makers numbered
there he mistake about the sold and the sales of
L ~ Singer Co. already EXCEED $4,000! which, at their
average prices would amount to money than 10000
chimes of the w. 4 w. Co., at their average prices.
The W W. agent in New Orleans standing advertise.
ment in one of the city papers that
and is reasonable suppose other W. &
W. agents have like number hand proporionate
business, there be 10000 W. w stacked
up in the Offices Of the W. W. agents. which would leave the
number sold much less than that Singer Co Grover &
Baker
