From the Bait Catholic Mirror, Nov. u, 1869
The WEED SEWING MACHINE.-We visited
to-day the elegant saesrooms of the Weed Sew
ing Machine Company, in the Masonic Temple,
on North Charles street. This is of the re-
Gently but most successfully established institu-
tions of our city. We have heard much of the
popularity of this sewing instrument within the
past two three years in other cities, but never
before enjoyed the privilege of examining and
testing it so thoroughly. Ii our opinion can be
relied upon we must certainly pronounce 1t one
of the most remarkable and complete specimens
of mechanical cantrlvance which sewing machine
inventors have ever produced. We looked for
the machinery but failed to see any, so SIM
pie in It's construction We inquired about its
''peculiarities,' and were informed that it had
none, but matter Of fact, common sense,
reliable affair, that was made expressly to sew
with. and right well it performed its functions =
Since its introduction to publicity it has frequent
~ been put in competitor with other machines,
and seldom 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.
w commend the Weed to all our friends ev-
erywhere who may in be need of and elegant, eff
fctent and economical Sewing Machine.
