differing from every other stitch, each loop
being twisted by means of the
Rotating Hook
and drawing the twist into the goods, thus
securely fastening every stitch, so that the
seam will bear to be cut at frequent intervals
and in the case even, the seam is warranted
NOT TO RIP in wear, aud under all circumstan-
ces to " surrire the pashtu5." Old worn out
family garments, bosoms, pants, dresses, &c.,
have been submitted at FAIRS where was the
greatest competition, and to this stitch premiums
have been awarded for its SUPERIORITY, pURA-
BILITY, ELASTICITY AND BEAUTY.
A patent device prevents the possibility of
the machine being run in the wrong direction
or the balance wheel ever wearing or touch
ing the dress. BY another ingenious Patent
improvement,
THE NEEDLE CANNOT BE SET WRONG,
thus avoiding the great trouble of other ma
chimes. In this il is SO easy that a child may
set it in the dark with unerring correctness
every time.
No breaking of Needles.
The blade of the needle is less than 4 of an
inch long, and is straight. 1t is less than
half the length of other machine needles, ma
ny of which are curved, therefore more easily
bent or brokers' great source of annoyance,
expense and trouble. The Hemmer and Fell
Ter can never be set wrong Any one may adj
Just them in the dark. The hem may be of
any width. No other hemmer or Teller is like
this. 1t turns the hem on the right or un-
der side
Ii will not Drop stitches ;
As the needle is always set right, the blade
short and straight does not vibrate, like 9TH
er ones.
Wilcox & Gibbs Sewing Machine
Is run by steam at 1000 stitches per minute
other machines only at from 400 to 1900,
with safety.
They are manufactured with
Mathematical Precision,
Hence each part is interchangeable, and can
be readily replaced in case Of accident
THEY WILL NOT GET OUT OF ORDER.
We have known it intimately for several
years. Many thousands are already in use
here, and so far as We know, not one in fami-
ly use has ever cost dime to repair, or ever
been out of order at all. They will last a
generation, If properly cared for No one
who has used it can be persuaded to use any
other.
Wilcox s. Gibbs Sewing Machine
Works at an instant's notice, and never stops
:" unaccountably. Not one operator in ten
on the Wilcox and Gibbs will break needle
or drop a stitch in a year. The Wilcox &
Gibbs in the hands OF any one, knows no
"a kips, "drops, T" Jumps" or .. misses"
The roundness, evenness, durability and beau
ty of its stitch
Were Never Equalled.
Its rapidity, absolute sillaess, ease Of motion,
ndrrooness and neatness Of its hem rere Meier ap-
preached by any other machine. We can call
IN any boy or girl from the street, and with
three minutes instruction they will set the
needle, attach the Hemmer or Teller, and do
the work with entire success. A blind girl, |
with the exception Of threading the needle, |
can do the same. Many ladies owning other
flrst-ciass machines, come to our office to do |
their fine hemming and telling, on the Will
cox & Gibbs machine.
We take other machines in exchange We
sell on. CorToS, SILK. TWIST AND NEEDLES for |
