Psblle Notices. A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT. AT all tames and everywhere in them colonies are pnblio companies and institutions proffering to take care of you money. They will pay you generous interest* or they hold out expectations of tempting profit. insurance, mining, manufacturing, mercantile, land and loan companies, building, co-operative, and other societies, fill the air with rosy promises. And for those who have ample means, euoceea will likely enough attend upon good judgment, for "money makes money." Meantime yon must live and be clothed, and here permit us respectfullyto impress you with an investment which win even EABN ITSELF, and which will all along make better proportionate profits than any other disposition of capital whatsoever. I Every home and every person in it,! ceaselessly fl<w«Mifl 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 EABN ITS OWN COST and continue long after to yield moat 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 is comparison with.the patience and time expended upon it; [moreover the stooping posture which is necessary, with the head bent downwards, and the arms more or lesa 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 thepredse place where it was intended to go. very delicate materials, which would rather suffer by handling, may be stitched upon the WEBTHEIM without ™«Tring or disturbance. She may even thread the needle and shuttle with her owa hair, and embroider initials upon a cambric handkerchief. In the other extreme, she may use the same WEBTHEIM New Family Machine with a nine-cord thread (used in bootmaking) for sewing occasionally leather, or any such heavy work that can be needed in a family. Many folds of tweed or thickest moleskin, twenty folds of unwashed calico with any Bize of cotton or thread, she may sow with the utmost ease 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 a be stitched by the wonderful Machine. Examples of aU kinds of sewing required in dresses, millinery, underclothing, tailoring, and upholstery will be shown and explained at our offices, free of charge. To ladies who are delicate, we wish to Bay that the foot pressure necessary to drive the WEBTHEIM New Family Machine is so slight, that the mere weight of the limbs is more than sufficient. The ankles alone need to move, the remainder of the muscular system being entirely at rest. This comfort is partly attained by providing a fly-wheel under the table, which also 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 no strain whatever is made upon the eyesight. Yet we can produce sewing so fineu oa 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 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 WONDEBFTTL WEBTHEIM. With the WEBTHEIM 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 } yon may make a pretty lace stitch, tuck ever so finely, bind dresses, coats or carpets j sew on trimmings without guiding, make frilling, ruffling or ruoning, i quilt, weave -your own braid, with i 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 ana gathering so popular for sleeves, bodies or skirts of dresses with an appliance supplied gratis i lay the small cords in hoods and stays; 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 musquito net or tulle, without the operator qTiffPffMig needle, cotton, stitch, er tension, ana the fine material will not be gathered in the slightest. Any of those performances will be. shown at our shops at any time. The WEBTHEIM makes a lock-stitch which oannot ravel, yet by a momentary alteration the sewing can be done bo as to rip from end to end, if desired. This peculiarity is sometimes useful when children's clothes are intended to be altered. We have a special word for husbands When the day's business is over, the even- [ ing meal is finished, the wife—and perhaps the sister or daughter—Bits 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 whichshe 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 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. I Why, it is the only article of. the , household furbishing which will ever return you any part of ite 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 sum, so that in addition to increased comfort, your household expenses will not be enlarged, bet 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 t The Machine should far more than pay for itself during the time ycu are clearing it off, and it wifi then become your own, earning or saving money as before. Iβ it not fairly to be called A PBOFFTABLE INVESTMENT P 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 ia provided, so thai the works are at rest while the bobbins are being wound. You can put eighty yards of I cotton on one bobbin, being nearly twice as much as you can with the machines of the I old-fashioned makes. Thus you need not I 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 MAi CHINES will be observed. It is brought as near to perfection ascanbeacoompliahedby ; mechanical ingenuity, largecapital,and minute supervision. The automaticmachinery which finiahea the parts is designed and I patented by Joseph Wertheim himself. The work is carried out by managers and operators who have been scientifically trained in the German Polytechnic Schools.
