Fwplic Notices. A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT. A T all times and everywhere in these j9L 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, building, cooperative, and other societies, flTl 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 you must live and be clothed, and here permit us respectfully to impress you with an investment whioh wfll even EABN ITSELF, and which will all along make better proportionate profits th"i any other disposition of capital whatsoever. Every home and every person m xt, 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 EABN US 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 stopping 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 WEETHEIM 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 WEETHEIM New Family Machine 32 stitchee 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 theprecise place where it i was intended to go. Very delicate materials, which would rather suffer by handling, 1 may be etitched upon the WEBTHEIM without marking 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 tame WEETHEIM New Family Machine with a nine-cord thread (used in bootmaking) for Bβwing occasionally leather, or any such heavy work that can be needed in afamily. Many folds of tweed or thickest moleskin, twenty folds of unwashed calico with any size 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 WEBTHEi-M Machine. Examples of all kinds of eewing 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 winh to say 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 thelconstrained and stooping posture already alluded to in connection with hand-sewing, the operator reate her hands upon the table, and can change her position at pleasure. The stitchen do not require close watching, so that no strain whatever ia made upon the eyesight. Yet we can produce eewing so fineu oa the stitches can only be counted with the aid of a microscope.. Scores of doctors and surgeons have purchased machinee 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 tie 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 possevsad 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 fells, kilt, braid, stitch with chenille, Berlin wool, or gold cord, and such like for fancy work i you may make a pretty lace stitch, tuck ever so finely, bind dresses, coats or carpets; sew on trimminge without guiding, make frilling, ruffling or niching, quilt, weave your own braid, with any combination of colors and stitch it on at the same time; make thick woollen doormate, embroidered antimacassars, window curtains, and so forth i you can easily and rapidly perform the. fashionable shirring and gathering so popular for sleeves, bodice or starts of dresses with an appliance bupplied gratu; lay the small cords in hoods •and stay*j 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, inusquito net.or tulle, without the operator changing needle, cotton, stitch, er 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 WEBTHEIM makes a lock-stitch which cannot ravel, yet by a momentary alteration the eewing can pc done no aa to rip from end to end, if desired. This peculiarity ia sometimes useful when children's clothes are intended to be altered. . • ' IWe have a special word for husbands the day's business is over, the evening meal is finished, the wife—and perhaps l»he 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 shemay, by hard driving, occasionally stitch—with a noise like a sausage machine —a simple straight Beam, but that is no great help. She ought to be able to do ALL the work with it, Bhorfc 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 first* class 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 <S&8 little garment she -will leave that sum, so that in addition to increased comfort, your household expenses will not be enlarjr~i, but ought diminished by the possession of a WEBTHEIM Machine. How often do we not waste money upon really useless knickknacks, or upon needlessly expensive t articles or indulgences P The Machine lo& timeiyfeu are clearing it off, and it wiO then become your own, earning or saving noney as before. Is it not fairly to be sailed A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT P With the NEW WEBTHEIM MACHINES is supplied a self-acting bobbinirinder, which fills the bobbins as evenly Iβ reels of cotton, without the operator ipuching it, ox even holding the thread. h. lalance-wheel is provided, so that the rerks are at rest while the bobbins are icing wound. You can put eighty yards of sotton on one bobbin, being nearly twice as touch as you can with the machines of the >ld-faehioned makes. Thus you need not take out your shuttle so often, and yon get »far more perfect stitch. * • I The tables are beautifully finished, and pre stamped with a yard measure, which is CHINES will be observed. It ia brought as near to perfection as can be accomplished by mechanical ingenuity, large capital, and misutesupervision. The automatic machinery rwbich finishes the parts is designed and patented- by Joseph Wertheim himself. The work is carried out by managers and operators who have been scientifically i trained in the German Polytechnic Schools. i-w m Agents for Christchurch: HALLENSTEIN BEOS., eiw ZxiXtun> CtoTHnre Factobt, .
