Whig and tribune. [volume] (Jackson, Tenn.) 1870-1877, 1874-12-05

"THE WEED. We were shown
on yesterday morning a collection
Of newly arrived Sewing Machines
from the "Wced" mandatory, that
for elegance of finish, lightness, and
all the essentials that make up a
perfect machine, have never been
excelIed by any brought to this
city. 1t is not claimed by those
who sell "thG Weed" that in cUery
respect it is the superior of ercry
other There are machines that are
equal to it in strength and in their
capacity for doing heavy work in
leather or stiff cloth. These ma
chimes are to be worked by men,
and by them alone. 1t is claimed
for "ihe Weed that while it has
the requisite strength for doing any
kind of work either in leather or
heavy goods, that il does faster and
better cork, in everything else, and
is therefore the best machine in the
world tor general household and
family use. y heavy machine to
work which would wear out u girl
or woman, may serve q saddler or
harness maker as well, though no
better than the Weed, but when
general utility IS taken into count
this machine has no rival. 1t saves
labor and strength, saves health and
life. 1t runs more easily, swiftly
and regularly than any other. 1t is
more easily adjusted, and less likely
to need adjustment than any other.
1t can do more work, and better
work in the same time than any
other; and while artilicers may saw
that this or that machine is q good
one, they will never say that "the
Weed" is not good one. For
general work for the fomily for the
purposes for which it was designed,
it is the best machine in use, and
the people have found it out. Call
at No. s Main street ana the Agent
Robt. Hamilton will take pleasure
in showing large number of new
and elegant machines, just arrived.
To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.-There
are some people who seem to need
the constant admonition of some one
They either do not take a common
sense view Of things OF take no view
at all. We viii give an instance. An
agent for some kind of q sewing ma
chine may call on the good woman of
the house and des7ato show her the
machine her repfe hts. He brings it
in, and if he IS good operator will
amaze her with the perfectness of its
work, and convince her by his talk,
that it is the best machine in use.
She doe not think that the best always
sells the most-lf sold at the same
price as the inferior articles. She
does not even think that a machine
which cannot sustain It's reputiou and
whose sales decrease one half in a
year, must have some defect which
will, sooner or later, cause her ma
chine to prove useless. She perhaps
forgets that there is one Sewing Ma

years and years, have steadily increas-
ed in popularity and sales until it has
nearly reached the point of selling as
many machines as all Of the twenty.
