Mr.. Theo Lilenthal, No 121 Canal street,
has on exhibition the most brilliant display OF
pictures eyer presented for inspection and
criticism In this country. Some OF them look
so sweet that it would be Joy unspeakable II
one were permitted to touch the tips OF tnelr
fingers ia the flesh. At glance it Is percep-
tbe that these pictures are not photographs
OF the ordinary process. They are charming
and artistic and deserve the highest praise.
They are called Lambertypes, or never fading
mixtures. The person Is fortunate who has
iikenesses of his family taken by this process.
wa ara not surprised that Mr. LIienthal has
no competitor exhibiting in his line,as pictures
taken BY the ordinary process would stand
surround Mr. Llenthals pictures, and only
one opinion is expressed that they are adj
mirable and exquisite. The latest Invention
photography is the artotype picture, MADE
with indelble ink ON a printing press OF
which Mr.. Lilienthal owns the patent for the
state Of Louisiana. 1t Is photo-lithography
in its perfection, and the public will soon be
invited to witness this process OF picture
making.
or all the attractions In the upper portion
OF Art Hall, the display OF the wheeler ~
Wilson Sewing Machine Company is second
10 none The exduisiteness Of the work done
BY their new straight needle machines Is
explained to admiring croWGs by polite
and competent operators. The Wheeler ~
Wilson Manufacturing Company was award
al one OF the special grand prizes at
the Paris Exposition OF 1878 Tor supe-
rior sewing machines, over eighty compeu-
tors. The new No. Is universally acknowl-
edged to be the favorite OF the ladies. For
the manufacture OF every grade Of stitched
goods and all kinds of domestic sewing the
new Nos. 6, 7 and s are peculiarly adapted
Some Of the superior points OF the heeier ~
Wilson machines are speed, durability, preci-
= sion, ease OF operation, regularity, stiensth
and beauty OF stitch, range OF work, facility
OF management, perfection OF CONSTRUCTION
and elegance OF finish. We were forci-
ments made in the New No. machine
as they were explained to us by one of the
company's representatives. Machines are
now made for all kinds OF sewing, which are
pronounced by mechanical experts to be the
perfection of sewing machine mechanism
and the best sewing apparatus In the world
The Wheeler q Wilson Sewing Machine Com
pany believe their interests Identical with
their customers; they furnish machines
tasteful and elegant, but substantial. The
material and workmanship are the pest, anu
they have spent money lavishly In improve
ments so that In all respects their machines
are the standard sewing machines OF the
world. Hence in dealing with that company
we are sure OF the best, while their prices and
conditions of sale are as favorable as any, al
things considered.
A sewing machine needs as good hacker
as a bond or a note. Nearly two hundred
different sewing machines have been made
and sold In this country, not hal1 dozen u
which have good hackers, and they are USE
less, rusting in garrets or cellars.
In buying machine we must look forward
few years and consider II the maker Is ike
ly to be responsible, 50 that we can De as
sured OF repairs and supplies; Ii not, the ma
chine will become valuelesS The Wheeler 6
Wilson Is an old reliable company, and seems
bound to endure another generation. 1t Is
solid honorable company, faithful to its obi,
cations and jealous Of its reputation; and
purchasers Of the Wheeler & Wilson machine
are sure to get the best
country, and full instructions sent, which en-
able the most inexperienced to operate them
without any difficulty. The company have
one OF the finest offices In the city, under able
management, at 103 Canal street, where all
orders will receive prompt attention.
