OAKENNoLD, May 9th, 1870.
Mr.. w. HAWKINS In compliance with your re-
quest, state what has been my experience OF the
Wheeler & Wilson Sewing machine.
About twelve years ago q think in the winter
of lS57-5S) bought full-cased Wheeler & Will
son at head quarters in New ork.
This instrument has been in ever since
perhaps as constantly as any machine OF the sort
ever has been III private family, and has per
formed every style of work from the lightest to
the heaviest fabrics.
Mrs Frazier desires me to say that it has given
her great satisfaction-that it has never IN all
that time gotten out of order or repair that
she could not herself at once restore 1t to good
working order And now that you have added
all the modern improvements OF the last dozen
wears she finds it as complete and as nearly per-
feet as she can imagine such an instrument to be.
Very Respectfully, VIM KAAJEk.
