WHEELER and WILSON

WI
SATISFIED after careful examination Of the
N'prncipal Sewing Machines worthy of any cred
II that no other one combines SO many prime quail
ties for general use as that made by the WHEELER
and WILSON Manufacturing Company, the sub
scrbers have taken an agency for the sale Of these
n comparable Machines The price Of Machine
obtained of us will be the same ne If purchased di
rectly of the manufacturers Mt any one of their
agencies in tho United States. Every machine
sold by us will be warranted perfect in its work
manship and ready for use. To all purchasers of
us Practical instructions in the of the
chimes will be given ulthom charge, so that the
luyer may thoroughly understand the principle of
the machine-what every part of 1t does-and how
the whole may be kept in perfect working order
with reasonable care and skill.
We specify of the chief points of excellence
belonging 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 scamstress and
takes onethrd less thread to stitch than that does.
The stitch (fnc coarse, at the pleasure of the
scwcr) is absolutely uniform and is precisely the
same on both sides of the seam. This last quality
is of signal advantage, sometimes, in making n
| garment, because some parts are moro easily han
| died in the making, by a change of side.
2. Rapdny Of Erecmon. The saving of time
| by its use is hardly credible by who has not
seen il in operation. good will easily take
| from thousand to twelve hundred stitches in n
minute with it. The finest work does not tax the
| eyes as the coarsest work by hand docs.
| 3. Stiffness and Ease Of Notion. Tho stiffness
| of its motion is surprising. A sleeping infant
would not be disturbed by in active work at its
idc. dozen of them going in a small room would
be no bar to free conversation. No sewing machine
| Is made 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 VIC believe one will last ordinary life
time in family
| 5. Size, Appearance and Price. These machines
are sold Mt reduced prices at from $50 to Sl15
according to size, and style of mounting, plain
table or in ornamental cases &c. All are beautiful
in appearance and perfect in their working
The medium size machine, is specially adapted
for family use, is very compact in its structure anc
| the handsomest machine before the public. il
sews every kind of material, working equally wei
! upon silk, linen. wooden and cotton goods-scam
ing quitting gathering, hemming, &c, with
beauty and strength unequalled by any machine
that we have seen. They are sold by at the SAINT
prices at the Factory of the company, and TO
cash only.
The IIEMMER-an additional piece Of mechan
ism lately patented, very simple and ingenious
is furnished for attachment to the Wheeler AM
Wilson Sewing Machine, by means Of which tn
machine will hem without any basting or previou
turning Of the hem. The price of the 1femmer i
IS. 1t adds greatly to value of the whole.
