FoR EVERY HOME. - Wheeler x Wilson's
Highest Premium Lock stitch Sewing Machines
are the simplest, cheapest, and best. They are
lighter and easier to operate, simpler to learn,
quietCr IN action, ana less HaDle 10 get out OF
order, than any other Sewing Machine. They use
less than half the cotton OF most other machines,
and do much better and finer work. Indeed, no
human testimony could be stronger Than that
which has been accorded the Wheeler 4 Wilson
| Sewing Machine for superiority over all Others
| for family use, and for general manufacturing
| purposes. To show the immense and growing
| popularity Of the Wheeler & Wilson Machine,we

of the custom Of the city from the high-priced
merchant tailors, whose rates have been so ex-
trayagant of late that they arc iocularly said to
charge consultation fees, as lawyers deal with
| their clients. II is evident that the process OF
measuring, cutting, &c, practised In custom work
| must eventually yield TO the rapid manipuations
