AT all times and everywhere in these colonies are public companies and institutions proffering to take care of your money. They will pay yon generous interest, or they hold out expectations of tempting profit. Banking, insurance, mining, Tmnmttufaninfj, mercantile, land and loan companies, building, co-operative, and other societies, fill the air with rosy promises. And for those who have ample means, success will likely enough attend upon good judgment, for "money makes money?' Meantime yon must live and be clothed, and here permit us respectfully to impress you with an investment which will even EAEN 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 artioles at the chops inferior to and more expensive than those which she might produce herself had pfce only the first requisite of a household, viz., a WEBTHEIM Sewing Machine. This is the investment which will EARN 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 ie now performed, for the product of the labor is bo very small in comparison with the patience and time expended upon it i 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 bo finely, and delicately, end accurately by hand aa she can by the Wonderful WEBTHEIM: Machines. A moment's examination of the work which any one 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 82 stitches to the iaoh, at the rate of 500 a minute (a good operator will make 1000 a minute. Each stitch will be faultlessly accurate, and in the precise place where it was intended to go. Very delicate materials, which would rather suffer by handling, may be stitched upon the WEBTHEIM without marking er disturbance. She may even thread the needle and shuttle with her own hair, and embroider initials mpon a cambrio handkerchief. ; In the other extreme, she may nee the same WEBTHEIM New Family M»mhin« 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 size of cotton or thread, she may sew with the utmost ease and rapidity. Ihe baby's tiny clothing, upon which mothers love to display their choicest handiwork, the boys' tweed suite, the drawing-room carpet, may all be stitched by the Wonderful WEBTHEIM Machine. Example* of all kinds of sewing required in dressee, millinery, underclothing, tailoring, and upholstery will be shown and explained at our offices, free of charge. 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 mere weigh of the limbs ia 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, bo that no strain whatever is made upon the eyesight. ?et w* can produce sewing so fine that the stitches can only be counted with the aid of a mioroscope. Bcoree of doctors and aurgeona 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 WEBTRKIM Machines throughout Europe and the Colonies ie 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 conseqence has constantly and rapidly increased. Many of the appliances are not possessed by any other Machines whatever, 1 and we desire especially comparison side by side. THE WONDERFUL WEBTHEIM. With the WEBTHEIM New Familj Machine, whether for hand or foot use, yon 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 stitch, tuck ever bo finely, bind dresses, coats, oi carpets; eew on trimminge without guiding, make frilling, ruffling, or ruching, quilt, weave your own braid, with any combination of colon, and stitch it oa at , the same time} make thick woollen door- '. mats, embroidered ftnfriTnn<fW"»"fr window i curtains, and so forth; you can easily and i rapidly perform the fashionable shirrina ■ and gathering so popular for sleeves, bodies ■ or akirts of dresses with an appliance sup- i plied gratis. Lay the small cords in hoods and stayst do large cording; gather with . or without a band, and generally do all kinds of straight »?wing upon any material j whatever. The WEBTHEIM will pass ] from eight folds of tweed or wenty of | calico to two of thinnest mualin, or even ; musquito net or tulle, without the operator changing needle, cotton, etitch. or tension, and the fine material will not be gathered in the slightest. Any of these performance* will be shown at our 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 tip from end to end, if desired. This peculiarity is sometimes useful when chil dren's clothes are intended to be altered.
