Mlrials, which would rather suffer by handling, may be stitched upon the WSBTHE—_ without marking er dist—-bane— She may even thread the needle and shuttlewith her own hair, and embroider faiftaV upon a cambrio handkerchief. In the other extreme, she may use tha same WEBTHEIM New Family Machine with a nine-cord thread (used in boot* making) 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 size of cotton or thread, she may sew with the utmost ease and rapidity, -he baby's tiny clothing, upon whka mothers love to display their ohoiosst handiwork, the boys' tweed suits, the drawing-room carpet, may all bo stitched by the Wonderful WEBTHEIM Machine. Examples of all kinds of sewing required in dresses, millinery, underclothing, tailosing, and upho_tery wiU be shown and explained at our o_ces, free of oharge. To ladies who are delicate, we wish to say that the foot pressure necessary to drive the WEBTHEIM New Family Machine is ; so slight, that the more weight of tha limbs is more than sufficient. The ankles alone need to move, tbe remainder of the muscular system being entirely at rest. This comfort is partly attained by providing a fly-wheel under the tab-. which also imparts inoressed power to the' i mechanism. Instead of the constrained and - stooping posture already alluded to in con* , nection with hand-sewing, the operator rests her hands upon the table, and can ohange her position at pleasure. Tha stitches do not require close watching, so that no strain whatever is made upon the eyesight. Yet we can produoe sewing co fine that the stitches can only bo counted i 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, whoeopred-eotiion is in favor of a hand-machine, we supply , one whioh — particularly easy to drive, aad is much swifter than the kinds ordinarily in use. The great success of the WEBTHEIM —_chines throughout Europe and tha Colonies ia a matter of common observation. JOSEPH WEBTHEIM has manufactured nearly One Million Five Hundred Thousand of these Machines, and tho whole tendency from the —ret haa been to enhance the quality, improve the £__—. and add to the appliances. The demand in conseqenoe has constantly and rapidly increased. Many of the appliances are not possessed by any other Machines whatever, and we desire especially comparison si—j by side. THB WONDERFUL WERTHEIM. With the WERTHEIM New Family Machine, whether for hand or foot use, yon oan hem any width, make double seams or tells, kilt, braid,stitch with chenille, Ber_t>' wool, or gold cord, and suoh _ke for fancy work i you may make a pretty lace stitch, tuck ever so finely, bind dresses, coats, or carpets} sew en trimmings without guiding, make frilling, ruffling or,ruc__g, quilt, weave your own braid, with any combination or colors, and stitch it oq at the same time } make thick woollen doormate, embroidered —atimacasß—n, window curtains, and so forth j you oan easily and rapidly perform the fashionable shirring _id gathering so populc-for Blceves,bodiee or skirts of dresses with an appliance supplied gratis. Lay the small cords in hoods wad stays i do large cording j gather with or without a band, and generally do _I kinds of straight sewing upon any mater—l whatever. The WEBTHEIM wffl paar from eight folds of tweed or twenty of calico to two of thinnest muslin, or even musqnito net or tulle, without the operator; changing needle, cotton, stitch, or tension, and the fine material will not be gathers— in the slightest. Any of these performances S? 1 kU! b 3%&J&S iaK Ba °w 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 ia sometimes useful when childrpn'e clothes are infconded 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——— 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 tiie room is, perhaps, an old-fashioned machine, with which she may, by hard driving, occasionally stitch—with a noise like a sausage ——chine—a simple straight seam, hut that Si no neat help. She ought to be able to o ALL the work with it, short of atitohing on buttons, which is a trifle. And we have known some instances where tha laly of the house is so a_rioua to ob——i 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 Artiole 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 th_i" the half-crown a week necessary to par-' chase it. On one little garment she w_l save that cum, so that in addition to increased comfort, your household expenses will not be enlarged, but ought tolbe diminished by the possession of a WEB THEIM Machine. How often do we not waste money upon really useless knickknacks, or upon needlessly expensive articles or indulgences P The Machine should far more than pay for itself durit at the time you are clearing it off, and it wul then become your own, earning or savii if 1 money aa before. Is it not -airly to be called A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT With the NEW WEBTHEIM MA-1 CHINES is supplied a self-acting bobbinwinder, which nils _c bobbins as evenly as reels of cotton, without the operator touching it, or oven holding the t—read. A balance-wheel is provided, so that the works are at rest while the bobbins are being wound. You can put eighty yards at! < cotton on one bobbin, being nearly twice as much as you can with the m-chine iof the < pld--_hioned makes. Thus you need not take out your shuttle bo 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 ia tiie WEBTHEIM NEW FAMILY MACHINES will be observed. Itisbroiahß. as near to perfection as can be accomplished by, mechanical ingenuity, large capital, and - inmate supervision. The automatic ma . chinexy which finishes the parts is de*. signedandpatented by Joseph Wertheba",' bunself. The work is carried out by Jaa_f* > gers and operators who have been Bcienti, flcaßy trained in the German Polytechni " Schools. , __ Sole Agents for Chr_tchurohi_ HALLBNSTEIN BROS., . Nsw Z___u*d.
