From the Bait. Catholic Mirror, Nov o. 1869,
THE WEED SEWING MACHINE.-We visited to-
day the elegant salesrooms of the Weed Sewing
Machine Company, in the Masonic Temple on
North Charles street. This is one of the recently
but most successfully established institutions of
our city. We have heard much of the popularity
of this sewing instrument within the past two or
three years in other cities, but never before en-
joyed the privilege of examining and testing itso
thoroughly. If our opinion can be relied upon,
we must certainly prom ounce it one of the most
| remarkable and complete specimens of mechani-
cal contrivance which sewing machine inventors
have ever produced. We looked for the ina
chinery," but failed to see any, so simple is its
construction. We inquired about its 'peculiar-
qualities, and were informed that it had none but
was matter OF fact common sense reliable aI-
fair, that was made expressly to sew with and
right we'll 1t performed its functions. Since its
introduction to publicity it has frequently been
put in competition with other machines. and sell
| dom fails to win the palm for superiority over
them all. One of its greatest triumphs was at the
recent Fair at the Maryland Institute, where it
was awarded the Gold Medal over all competitors
after contest of nearly four weeks We com
mend the ''Weedn to all our friends everywhere
| who may be in need of an elegant, efficient and
economical Sewing Machine.
| From the Sunday Telegram, Nov. Both, 1865. I
| During the past four weeks, at the Fair of the
Maryland Institute, genuine contest for SUPERIOR
| ty between the Weed, Wheeler q Wilson and
Howe Machines, has been progressing before an
experienced and competent committee appointed
| especially for that Furpose, composed of ladies
and gentlemen, which closed on Wednesday eve
ming last, with the following result: TO the
! Weed Sewing Machine, Gold Medal to the
! Wheeler & Wilson, a silver medal; to the Howe
q silver medal. This comedies with many others
| of the same character hitherto awarded, and
sustained as it is by public opinion, stamps the
| Weed Sewing Machine, for family purposes the
| best.
| From the Baltimore Sun of Nov 18th
| Another Gold Medal awarded to the Weed Sew
ing Machine at the Maryland Institute Fair after
contest of more than four weeks This COIN
cides with public opinion, which places the Weed,
foremost among the leading Sewing Machines of
| the age.
from the Baltimore American, Nov 18th I
This was a real contest for superiority, and
judgment was rendered upon the merits as fol-
| lows. To the Weed Machine Gold medal to
| the Wheeler & Wilson, silver Medal; to the
| Howe, silver medal.
