cheapest and best Sewing Machine now
manufactured for family use is the Wilson.
We certainly would use no other. 1t works
with equal facility on muslin, cloth, CAM
brio, tarleton, flannel and leather. 1t does
not paralyze the spine or wear out the op.
orator in any way, neither does it demand
an incessant stoppage to find out where the
difficulty is, as none exists. There is no
difficulty. 1t runs smoothly and evenly,
hens, fells, tucks, gathers and binds. II
does the finest and most beautiful work on
cambria and linen. It also has the merit
of being cheaper than any other 6rst-class
machine. 1t does not get out of order, nor
break needles, nor slip, nor pucker the
cloth. So complete has the Wilson Sew
ing Machine been made, by a skilliul COM
bination of brain and muscle, that it has
left nothing to be desired.'
