Public IVotices. A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT. AT all times and everywhere in these colonies are public companies and institutions profforing to take caro of yonr money. They -will pay you generous interest, or they hold out expectations of tempting profit. Banking , , insurance. mining, manufacturing, mercantile, land and loan companies, building, eo-oporfitive, and other societies, fill the air with rosy promises. And for those who have ample means, success will likely enough n'«tend upon good judgment, for "monvy m.okes money." Meantime you must live* and be clothed, and hero permit us respectfully to impress yon with an investment which will even EARN ITSELF, and which will all along make better proportionate profits than any other disposition of capital whatsoever. Every home and every person in it, ceaselessly demand the products vi the busy needle. The house-linen and upholstery require attention, and now jmriiu-nte are <?v«r needed. Often the honco.vife stitches until her eyes become weary, till her spine and her fingers ache, yet she cannot overtake her work. She must purchase ready-made articles at the shops, ulterior to and more expensive than those which she might produce herself had she only the first requisite of a household viz., a WERTHKIM Sowing Machine. This is the investment which will EA UN ITS OWN COST and continue long after to yield most ample profits. " A penny saved is a penny gained," and some more strongly express the truth in saying " money saved is twice earned." Little hand-sewing is now performed, for the product of the labor is co very small in comparison with the patience and tiuio ox pended upon it; moreover the stooping posture which is necessary, with the head bent downwards, and the anus more cr less constrained, and the sustained demand upon the eyesight, are injurious. It is impossible, utterly impossible, for a lady to stitch so finely, and delicately, and accurately by hand as she can by the Wonderful WERTHEIM Machines. A moment's examination of the work which anyone may perform with them will convince her of that. We will give her No. 200 cotton and she shall in.ike with the WERTHEIM New Family Machine 32 stitches to the inch, at the ratii of 500 a minute (a good operator will make 1000 a minute). Each stitch will bo faultlessly accurate and in the precise place whore it was intended to go. Very delicate materials, which would rather suffer by handling, may be stitched upon the WJJRTuEIM. without marking or disturbance. She may even thread the needlo and shuttle with her own hair, and embroider initials upon a cambric handkerchief. In the other extreme, she mny uso tbo came WERTHEIM New Family Machine with a nine-cord thread (used in bootmaking) for sewing occasionally leather, or any such heavy work that can to needed in a family. Many folds of tweed or thickest ! moleskin, twenty folds of unwashed calico with any size of cotton or thread, she may j sow with the utmost ense and rapidity. The baby's tiny clothing, upon which mothers love to display their choicest handiwork, the boys' tweed suits, the drawing-room carpet, may all bo stitched by the Wonderful WERTfIEIM Machine. Examples of all kinds of sowing required in dresses, millinery, underclothing , , tailoring, and upholstery will be shown and explained at our offices, free of charge. To ladies who are dolicate, wo wish to say that the foot pressure necessary to drive the WERTHEIM New Family Machine is so slight, that tho more weight ot the limbs is more than sufiicienfc. The ankles alone need to move, tho remainder of the muscular system being entirely at rest. This comfort i 3 partly attained by providing a fly-wheel under the table, which also imparts increased power to the mechanism. Instead of the constrained and stooping poeturc already alluded to in connection with hand-sewing, tin operator rests her hands upon the table, and can change her position at pleasure. The stitches do not require close watching, so that no strain whatever ia made upon tbe eyeeight. Yet we can produce sowing, so fine that the stitches can only be counted with the aid of a microscope. Scores of doctors and surgeons have purchased machines from our Australian offices for use in their own families, and always with satisfaction. For ladies, whose predilection is in favor of a hand-machine, we supply one which is particularly easy to drive, and is much swifter than the kinds ordinarily in use. The great success «f the WERTHEIM: Machines throughout Europe and the Colonies is a matter of common observation. JOSEPH WERTHEIM ha 9 manufactured nearly One Million Five Hundred Thousand of theso Machines, and the ■whole tendency from the first has been to enhance the quality, improve the finish, and add to the appliances. The demand in consequence, has constantly and rapidly increased. Many of the appliances are not possessed by_ any other Machines whatever, and we desire especially, comparison side by side. THE WONDERFUL WERTHEIM. "With the WERTHEIM New Family Machine, whether for hand or foot use, you can hem any width, make double seams or fells, kilt,braid, stitch with chenille, Berlin wool, or gold cord, and such like for fancy work; you may make a pretty lace stitsh, tack ever so finely, bind dresses, coats or carpets; sew on trimmings without guiding, make frilling, ruffling or ruching, quilt, weave your own braid, with any combination of colors and stitch it on at the same time; make thick woollen doormats, embroidered antimacassars, window curtains, and so forth; you can easily and rapidly perform the fashionable chirring and gathering so popular for sleeves, bodies or skirts of dresses with an appliance supplied gratis; lay the small cords in hoods and stays; do large cording; gather with or without a band, and generally do all ! kinds ot straight Bewine upon any material whatever. The WERTHEIM will pase from eight folds of tweed or twenty of calico to two o! thinnest muslin,; or even, muequito net or tulle, without the operator changing needle, cotton, stitch, or tension, and the fine material will not be gathered in the slightest. Any of these performances will be shown at our shops at any time. The WERTHEIM makes alock-etitch which cannot ravel, yet by a momentary alteration the Bewinjr can be done bo as to rip from end to end, if desired. This peculiarity ie sometimes useful when children's clothes are intended to be altered. We have a special word for husbands When the day's business ie over, the evening meal is finished, the wife—and perhaps the sister or daughter—sits down to her sewing. With her hands alone she cannot, as aforesaid, do anything like tho whole of the work required. In a corner of the room is, perhaps, an old fashioned machine, with, which she may, by hard driving* occasionally etitch—with a noise like a sausage machine —a simple straight seam, but that is no great help. She ought to be able to do ALL the work with it, short of stitching on buttons, which is a trifle. And we have known some instances where the lady of of the house is so anxious to obtain a firstclass machine, that which will be the greatest of all her helps to her, but the husband demurs on the score of expense. Why, it is the only article of the household furnishing which will ever return you any part of ita cost. If the lady will use it, it MUST earn far more than the half-crown a week necessary to purchase it. On one lit Ie garment she will save that sum, so that in addition to increased comfort, your household expenses will not be enlarged, but ought to bo diminished by the p"33essiott of a WERTHEIM Machine. How often do wo net waste money upon really useless knickknacks, or upon needlessly expensive articles or indulgences? Tho Machine should far more than pay for itself duringthe time you are clearing it off, and it will then become your own. earning or saving money as before. Is it not fairlyto be called A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT P With the NEW WERTHEIM MACHINES is supplied a self-acting bobbinwinder, which fills the bobbins as evenly as reels of cotton, without the operator touching it, or even holding tho thread. A balance-wheel is provided, so that the works are at rest while the bobbins are being wound. Yon can pat eighty yards of cotton on one bobbin, being nearly twice as much as yon can with the machines of the old-fashioned makes. Thus you need not take out your shuttle so often, and you get a far more perfect etitch. The tables are beautifully finished, and are stamped with a yard measure, which is useful. A host of other improvements in the WERTHEIM NEW FAMILY MACHINES will be observed. It is brought as near to perfection as can be accomplished by mechasieal ingenuity, large capital, and minute supervision. The automatic machinery which finishes the parts is designed ana patented by Joseph Wertbeim himself. The work ie carried onfc by managers and operators who have been' scientifically trained in the German Polytechnic Schools.
