That modern wonder; the Atlantic Cable, seldom
flashes messages between the two hemispheres
fraught with more pleasing as well as important

been claimed by the Wheeler & Wilson Company
and which those who are acquainted with the SUI
perior quality Of the Sewing Machines have
never hesitated to acknowledge as rghtfu
claim, must now be universally conceded-name-
ly, that che Wheeler & Wilson Machines are par

served.
