around tho Worid.-But little more thaR 10
ears ago the soft click of the Wheeler Will
on Sewing Machine was FIRST heard. Simple,
uiet and efficient, 1t made many friends
sherever seen. The highest honors were ac-
orded it from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
rom the Lakes to the Gulf. For no other in
Tention has the highest award in this country
been so uniform and general. Industrial, me-
,haniosl and agricultural associations have
crowned it with TIM highest honors, and hun
ireds of county and village fairs have been
honored in honoringi 1t. So uniform and GER
tain have been these awards that the compa-
ny manufacturing them have, as q general
thing ceased to exhibit them here in compe.
tition with others.
Abroad its record has been no less marked
aud honorable. At Paris in 1855 and l861;-
London, 1862; Linz and Kenigberg, 1885,
DaLtzic, Agram and Krems, 1854; and last
year at Dublin, Stettin, Cologne aud Wismar;
aud last, but not least, at Dunedin, in New
Zealand, it has won the highest awards
Thus from San Francisco eastward 1t has car
ried the American fame and name arou nd the
globe.
What varying emotions it has excited In
civilized lands women have welcomed 1t as q
delverer from wearisome bondage. The In
dians OF North America watched its workings
with establishment, whispering "Angamocaef
Manitou" Sewing Spiri,). The ignorant mas
ses Of EuI ope and Asia would not have beer
more surprised if the old castles had taken I'd
| themselves legs and waddied of. The stall
wart maideus en- chsmss would crowd around
| it with dawning hopes of the time when II
should clothe them, too, in garments Of beauty.
In its beneficial mission 1t seems destined tp
| bless all the families of the earth.
Tue success of this invention, marvellous as
it may seem, 10 easily explained. 1t met ah
urgent want. At an enormous expense, pub
lie opinion was educated to appreciate 1t. The
company has scrupulously fulfilled all Of its
promises and obligations, and sought, as far
as possible, honorable men as its represen ta- :
tives. 1t has ever found Its highest interest
in the interest OF its customers, and is meeting
its appropriate reward. Mrs. A. X. Petersoh
6l0 Market street, is agent for its sale.
