Personally appeared before me, Henry W. Epley, Of
Gettysburg, Pa, who being duly sworn, deposed as
follows:
'-That the so-ralled agent Of the Howe Sewing Ma
chine Jacob +. Th0mas) called at my house on the
night Of the 11th of December, 1869. at 0 o'clock
aroused me from my bed-and desired me to buy one
Of the celebrated Wheeler q Wilson Sewing Machines
the leass plan for ten dollars-hat the said j. f.
Thomas would then e1 change the eel sbrated Wheeler
4 Wilson for Howe, and refund me the ten dollars
and that should then aign card pronouncing the
unrivalled Wheeler d. Wilson Sewing Machine as
worthless.
Az my reputation and character are far superior to
ANY dealing as the ABOVE, of course declined and
would warp others Of similar transactions necessary
to effect sale by the said Jacob +. Thomas.
About two weeks ago purchased a celebrated
Wheeler b Wilson Sewing Machine from the agent
in Gettysburg, and hnd it notwithstanding from
Swiss muslin to heavy coth-has very little machin-
ery-easy running, and far superior to the machine
which would scorn to take from such man as
