w i'll Stitch, Hem, Fell, Tuck, Cord, Bind,
w Braid, Quilt, and Embroidre Beautifully,
It will, with the finest needle and thread, run
from perfect work On the finest Nainsook,
| over the heaviest beaver cloth and cowhide,
with NO change Of needle, thread or tension.
1t will use coarse cotton, linen, silk and
twine. It runs easier, faster and stiller than
| any other machine. Il forms fat, even and
elastic seam, differing from every othe. stitch,
| each loop being twisted by means Of
THE "ROTATING HOOK"
! and drawing the twist into the goods, thus %.
| curely fastening every stitch, so that the seam
will bear to be cut at frequen. Intervals, and
| II that case even, the seam is warranted not
to rip in wear, aud under all circumsta noes
to "survive the wash tub" Old, worn out
family garments, bosoms, pants, dresses, &C.,
have been submitted to committees at Fairs
where yrs the Greatest Competition, and to
this stitch premiums have been awarded for
it's superiority, Durability, Elasticity and
Beauty.
A patented device prevents the possibility
OF the machine being run in the wrong direc>
ton, or the balance wheel ever wearing or
touching the dress.
THE NEEDLE CANNOT DE SET WRONG,
Thus avoiding the great trouble Of other ma
chimes.
NO BREAKING OF NEEDLES.
The blade Of the needle is less than three>
fourths Of an inch long, and 10 straight.
The Hemmsf and Feller can never Be SET Wny.
Any one may adjust them in tho dark The
hem may be Of any widht. No other hemmer
or Teller 10 like this. II turns the hem ON the
right or under side % you want it
Il will not drop stitches, - the needle 10
always set right, the blade short and straight,
does not vibrate, like longer ones. They are
Manufactured with Mathematical Precision
hence, each part 10 interchangeable and can
be readily replaced in case Of accident. 1t
will last generation, IL properly cared for.
None who have used Il can BE- persuaded to
use any other.
The roundness, svsnnsss, durability and
beauty Of its stitch
WE'RE NEVER EQUALED.
It's Rapidly, Absolute Stiffness, Ease Of
Motion, narr0wness and neatnees Of its Hem
and Fell were never approached By any other
machine.
The Press universally pronounce this the
best family seacing machine IN the World What
disparagement to say the Wilcox & Gibbs il
worth, for family use, double that of any
other ever offered to the public.
