Business Netices. A PROFIT ABLE INVESTMENT. AT all times and everywhere in these colonies are publio companies and astitations proffering to take care of your money. They will pay you generous interest, or they hold out expectations of tempting profit. Banking, insunuaoe, mining, manufacturing, mercantile, land aad loan oompa—tee, 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 you must Hve and be clothed, and here permit us respectfully r to impress you with an investment which wOl even EARN ITSELF, and which will all along make better proportionate profits than any other disposition of oapit—l whatsoever. I Every home and every person in it oeaselessly demand the products of the busy needle. The house-linen and upholstery require attention, and new garments j are ever needed. Often the housewife . stitches until her eyes become weary, till r her spine and her fingers ache, yet she . cannot overtake her work. She must pur- . chase ready-made articles at the shops ] inferior to and more expensive than those i which she might produce herself had she * only the first requisite of a household, L viz., a WERTHEIM Sewing Machine. . This is the investment which will BARN ITB OWN COST and continue long after ■ r to yield most ample pronto. "A penny 1 saved iB a penny gained," and some more »' strongly express the truth in saying ,'. " money saved is twice earned." * Little hand-sewing is now performed, for 1} the product of the labor is so very small in c comparison with the patience and time exm pended upon it; moreover, —Is stooping _ posture which is neceesary, with the head bent downwards, and the arms more ' 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 byhand aa she can by the Wonderful WERTHEIM Machines. A

moment's examination of the work which any one may perform with them will con vince her of that. We will give her No i 200 cotton and she shall make with the J WERTHEIM New Family Machine 82 ! stitches to the inch, at the rate of 500 < minute (a good operator will make 1000 < 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 handBag, may be stitched upon the WESTHEIM withoat marking et disturbance. - | She may even thread the needle and shuttle , with her own hair, and embroider initials ( upon a cambric hand-erohiaf. In the other extreme, she may use the same WEBTHEIM New Family Machine • with a nine-oord thread (used in bootr making) for sewing occaaionally leather, or any such heavy work that can be needed in a family. Many folds of tweed or thickest moleskin, twenty foldß of unwashed calico with any size of cotton or thread, she may < sew with the utmost ease and rapidity, lhe baby's tiny clothing, upon which ! mothers love to display their choicest handiwork, the boys tweed suits, the drawing-room carpet, may all be stitched • by the Wonderful WEBTHEIM Machine. : Examples of all kinds of sewing required . in dresses, millinery, underclothing, tailoring, and upholstery will be shown and ex- ! plained 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 bo slight, that the mere weigh of the limbs is more than sufficient. The ankles alone need to move, the remainder 1 of the muscular system being entirely at j rest. This comfort is partly attained by | providing a fly-wheel under the table I 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 sixain whatever is made upon the eyesight. x"et we can produce sewing bo fine that the stitches can only be counted with the aid of a microscope. Scores of doctors and surgeons have purchased machines from our Austral——, offices for ase in their own families, and always with satisfaction. For ladies, whoee predilection is in favor of a hand-machine, we supply one whioh 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 observa tion. JOSEPH WERTHEIM 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 oonseqence has constantly and rapidly increased. Many of the appliances are not possessed by any other Machines whatever, and we desire especially comparison side by THB" WONDERFUL WERTHEIM. With the WERTHEIM New Family Machine, whether for hand or foot use, you can hem any width, make double seams or fella, kilt, braid,stitch with chenille, Berlin wool, or gold cord, and such like for fancy work} you may make a pretty lace statoh, tuck ever so finely, bind dresses, coats, or carpets; sew on trimmings without guiding, make frilling, ruffling or niching, quilt, weave your own braid, with any combination or colors, and stitch it on at the same timet make thick woollen doormats, embroidered antimacassars, window curt——s, and so forth t you can easily and rapidly perform the fashionable shirring and gathering so popular for sleeves, bodies or skirts of dresses with an a;>plikuoo "»;> plied gratis. Lay the small oor—, in Wv>_> and staysi do large cording; gather with or without a band, and generally do all kinds of straight Bewing upon any material whatever. The WERTHEIM will pass from eight folds of tweed or wenty of calico to two of thinnest muslin, or even musquito net or tulle, without the operator changing,needle, stitch, or tension, and the fine material will not be gathered in the slightest. Any of these performs—cea wiU be shown at our shops at anytime The WERTHEIM 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 altered. We have a special word for husbands. When the day's business is over, the 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, occaaionally stitch—with a noise like a sausage machine—s simple straight seam, but that is no great help. She ought to be able to do ALL the work with it, short of stitch- ■ ing on buttons, which is a trifle. And we have known some instances where the lajj of the house is so anxious to obtain a firstclass machine, that which will be the greatest of all her helps to her, bnt the husband demurs on the score of expense. I Why, it is the only article of the I household furnishing which will ever I' return you any part of its cost. If the lady ' will use it, it MUST earn far more than j the half-crown a week neoess—ty to par- ' chase it. On one little garment she will < save that sum, so that in addition to increased comfort, your household expenses ' will not be enlarged, but ought to (be < d'\miiushed by the possession or a WEB < THE—_ 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 t—an nay for itself during ) the time you are clearing it off, and it will then become your own, earning or Bavin* 2 money as before. Is it not fairly to be - ailed A PBOFITABLE INVESTMENT With the NEW WEBTHEIM Mi- - CHINES is supplied a self-acting bobbin winder, which fills _c bobbins as evealj 1 as reels of cotton, without the operatoi % touching it, or even holding the thread < A balance-wheel ia provided, so that tht works are at rest while the bobbins are being wound. You can put eighty yards of cotton on one bobbin, being nearly twice at much as you can with the maohine tof the " old-fashioned makes. Thus yon need not take out your shuttle so often, and yon get a far more perfect stitch. ( ' f The tables are beautifully finished, and are stamped with a yard measure, whioh is | useful. A host of other improvements in * the WEBTHEIM N«W FAMILY MA h CHINES will be observed. It is brought *" as near to perfection as can be accomplished by mechanical ingenuity, large capital, end a minute supervision. The automatic faa> r ~ chinery which finishes the parts is i signedandpatented by Joseph Wertheim J himself. The work is carried out by ma—a- g §ers and operators who have been scienti o; cally trained in the German Polyteoh— < t! Schools.
