life saving Machines. There are great nany
kinds Of Sewing Machines, aud We have taken
some pains to examine into their respective

the Wheeler & Wilson, highest Premium Sewing
Machine, is decidedly the best.

every variety of sewing for family wear, from
the ghtest muslins to the heaviest cloths
They work equally well upon silk linen, wool
len, and cotton goods, with silk, cotton, OF linen
thread They will seam, quilt, gather, hem,
fell, cord, braid, bind, and perform every kind
of sewing, making beautiful and perfect stitch,
alike on both sides Of the article sewed. The
sewing will never ugraYcl or wash out

80 simple that q child can work them with ease.
Printed instructions are sent with every Ma
chine, 80 that any one can operate them without
any trouble or difficulty. Every Machine is
warranted, and the money returned If not
entirely satisfactory.
Over Fifty thousand Of the celebrated Wheeler
& Wilson Sewing Machines are sold every year,
and yet the demand is 20 great that they cau
hardly be supplied as fast as ordered, Machines
} are carefully packed and sent in good order t.
