Public Moticee. A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT. AT all times and everywhere in these colonies are public companies and institutions proffering to take care of your money. They will pay you generous interest, or they hold out expectations of tempting profit. Banking, insurance, mining, manufacturing, mercantile, land and loan companies, bnuding, co-operative, and other societies, fill the air with rosy promises. And for those who hare ample means, success will likely enough attend upon good judgment, for "money makes money." Meantime you must live and be clothed, and here permit us respectfully to impress you 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 of the busy needle. The house-linen and upholstery require attention, and new garments are ever needed. Often the housewife 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, inferior to and more expensive than those which she might produce herself had she only the first requisite of a household viz., a WEBTHEIM Sewing Machine. This is the investment which will EASN 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 so very small in comparison with the patience and time ex pended upon it; moreover the stooping posture which is necessary, with the head bent downwards, and the arms more or 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 WEBTHEIM 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 make with the WEBTHEIM New Family Machine 32 stitches to the inch, at the rate of 500 a minute (a good operator will make 1000 a minute). Each stitch will be faultlessly accurate and in ther>recise place where it was intended to go. Very delicate materials, which would rather suffer by handling, may be stitched upon the WESTHEIM without Ttffti-Tripg or disturbance. She may even thread the needle and shuttle with, her own hair, and embroider initifoig upon a cambric handkerchief. In the other extreme, she may use the same WEBTHEIM New Family Machine tarith a nine-cord-, thread (used in bootsmaking) for sewing occasionally leather, or rjHiy such heavy work that can be needed in r( a femily. Many folds of tweed or thickest moleskin, twenty folds of unwashed calico with., any size of cotton or thread, she, may "Saw jwith the utmost ease and rapidity. *Tnel,3>aby'e tiny clothing, upon which ?

The -luiktes alone need to move, the remainder of the muscular system being entirely at zest. This comfort is partly attained by providing a fly-wheel under the table, which alee imparts increased power to the mechanism. Instead of the constrained and stooping posture already alluded to in connection with hand-sewing, the operator rests her hands upon the table, and can change her position at pleasure. The stitches do not require close watching, so that bo strain whatever is made upon the eyesight. Tet we can produce sewing, so finoi oat 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 alwaye with satisfaction. For ladies, whose predilection lis in favor of a hand-machine, we supply one which i-»yai3%gd*>rkL«»asy to drive, and >'*fe eariioter than cue &ix?ds ordinary I in. use' " The great euccess of the WEBTHEIM Machines throughout Europe and the Colonies is a matter of common observation. JOSEPH WEBTHEIM has manufactured nearly One Million Five Hundred Thousand of these 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 WONDEBFUL WEBTHEIM. With the WEBTHEIM New Family Machine, whether for hand or foot use, you can hem any width, make double seams or J fells, kilt, braid, stitch with chenille, Berlin wool, or gold cord, and such like for fancy work; you may make a pretty lace stitch, tuck ever so finely, bind dresses, coats or carpets; sew on trimmings without guiding, make frilling, ruffling or rucking, 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 shirring and gathering so popular for sleeves, bodies or skirts of dresses with an appliance supplied gratis; lay the small cords in hoods andetaya; do large cording; gather with or without a band, and generally do all kinds of straight sewing upon any material whatever. The WEBTHEIM will pass from eight folds of tweed or twenty of calico to two of thinnest muslin, or even mosquito 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 oar shops at any time. The WEBTHEIM makes a lock-stitch which cannot ravel, yet by a momentary alteration the sewing can be done so as to rip from end to end, if desired. This peculiarity is sometimes useful when children's clothes are intended to be atfSred. We have a special word for husbands When the day's business ie over, tne 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 the 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 stitch—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 bo 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 its cost. If the lady will use it, it MUST earn far more than the half-crown a week necessary to purchase it. On one little garment she will save that Bum, so that in addition to increased coEofort, your household expenses will not be enlarged, but ought to be diminished by the possession of a WEBTHEIM Machine. How often do we not waste money upon really useless knickknacks, or upon needlessly expensive articles or indulgences? The Machine should far more than pay for itself during the time you are clearing it off, and it will then become your own, earning or saving money as before. Is it not fairly to be called A PBOFITABLE INVESTMENT? With the NEW WEBTHEIM 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 the thread. A balance-wheel is provided, so that the works are at rest while the bobbins are being wound. You can put eighty yards of cotton on one bobbin, being nearly twice as much as you 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 stitch. The tables are beautifully finished, and are stamped with a yard measure, which is useful. A host of other improvements in the WEBTHEIM NEW FAMILY MACHINES win be observed. It is brought as near to perfection ascanbeaccomplishedby mechanical ingenuity, largecapital,andminutesupervision. The automatic machinery which finishes the parte is designed *Bd patented by Joseph Wertheim himself. The work is carried out by managers and operators who have been scientifically trained in the German Polytechnic Schools.
