Curl oslTY FOR THE LADIES
We clip the following from the
New York Commercial Adoertiser:
"There is on exhibition at the sales
room, Of Messrs. Wheeler & Wilson,
No. 625 Broadway, the first sewing
machine (No. y made by that compa
ny, the present number being about
220 600. Let the interested compare
the machine sold in 1851 for 1925
,, with those now offered for $72. The
former owner Of this machine gives it's
history as follows:
This machine was finished in 1851,
and | learned its use from Mr.. VIII
son himself. I was thus, you see, the
FIRST to work the Wheeler & Wilson
machine and learned on the first ma
chine they ever manufactured.
In 1854 I earned with that. machine
1926, besides doing my own house
work and taking care Of my baby.
In 156 We came to, Davenport and
brought the machine with US. be-
heve it the first machine ever brought
to Iowa,
I run that machine almost constant
ly for more than fourteen years, on all
kinds of work from the finest dress
making to the heaviest tailoring; |
quilted q full size bed-spread with it,
which had been exhibited three times
at the fair. 1t took me- three weeks to
do it with my ether work; but it could
not have been done by hand in aa
many years. I have even stitched
leather with It, and at the time l ex--
changed it IN 1865 for No. 193,320,
it worked just as we'll as when made.
1t is perhaps, unnecessary for me to
add, that I believe the Wheeler e.
Wilson to be vastly superior to any
other machine made.

noteworthy that the sewing machine
