How STRANGE That agents and friends of
.other Machines will say things about the Wheeler
II Wilson that are untrue They say it will not
sew heavy work. There are four Tayoring Els
Establishments in Staunton and three of them use
the Wheeler Wilson with perfect satisfaction,
and none of them ever had lesson The other
Establishment uses a Singer. Significant that!
furthermore not one Agent in Staunton can use
Wheeler Wilson Hence, Judge that ye may
be Judged-One of the Stanton Agents had his
Machine in ladies house and so was the Wheel
er Wilson there. He saved through fifteen or
twenty thickness OF cotton and left it and told
the lady If the Wheeler & Wilson would do it.
without breaking needle or thread that he
would give her $40. The Wheeler l. Wilson did
sew through it twice and made more perfect
stitch in every particular. How are you Mr. $40?
Wonder if she ever got it. There is the rub, as
Shakespeare says.
