A Tall times and evorywhero In these colo -CSi_ uies aio public companies and institution* proffering to taka euro ol 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, co-operativo and other societies, fill tho air with rosy promises. And for those who have ample means MICCC3S will, likely enough, attend upon good judgment, for " money makes monay." Mean, time you muat live and bo clothed; and here permit us respectfully to impress you with an investment which will even EARN ITSELF, and •which will all along niaVe better proportionate profits than any othe disposition of capital whatsoever. Every homo, and every person In It, cease lewaly demand the products of the busy needle. The house-linen ;mi upholstery require attention, and new garments aro ever needed. Often the housewife stitches until her eyes become weary, till her spine and her fingers ache, yet Bho cannot overtako her work. She muist purchase ready-made artioles at tho shops inferior to and more expensive than those which oho might produoo herself had she only the first requisite of a household, viz., a Webthbim Sewing Maohink. This is the investment which will kabn ITS OWN COST and continue long after to yield you most ample profits, '' A penny saved is a penny gained," and some more strongly express that truth in saying "money saved is twice earned."

Little hand-sewing is now performed, for tht produot of the labor la bo very small in comparison with the patience and time expended upon it; moreover the stooping posture which is accessary, with the head bent downwards and the arms more or less constrained, and the sustained demand upon the eyesight, are la jnrloua. It is impossible, utterly impossible s for a lady to stitch so finely and delicately and accurately by hand as she can bv the woNDBBFUi Wkbtheim 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 Wkbtheim New Family Maohink 32 stitches to the inch, at the fate of 600 a minute (a good operator will make 1,000 a minute.) Eaoh stitch will be faultlessly acourate, 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 Webiheim without marking or disturbance, She may even thread the needle and shuttle with her own hair, and embroider Ditials upon a cambrio handkerchief. \ In the other extreme, she may use the same Wertheim New Family Machine with a ninecord thread (used in bootmaking) for sewing occasionally leather, or any such heavy wjrk that can be needed la a family. Many folds of iwe'ei or thickest moleskin, twenty folds of unwashed calico with any size of cotton or thread,. she may sew with utmost ease and rapldliy, The baby's tiny olothing, upon which mother* 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, underolothlng, tailoring, and upholstery will be shown and explained at our offices free of charge. To ladles who are delicate we wish to say that the foot-pressure necessary to drive the Webtheim New Family Machine Is so slight thai the mere weight of the limbs is mow than sufficient. The ankles alone need to move, the remainder of ■••■•■• - - a treg<(. This comfort is partly attainedby providing afly-wheel under the table, which imparts increased power tbthemechanism. Instead of the constrained and stooping posture already alluded to In connee tfon 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 produoe sewinft so fine that the stitches can, only be countod with the aid of a microscope. Scores of doctors' and surgeons have purchawed M&chinesfrom our Australian offices for use In their own families, and always with satisfaction, For ladies wh6aq predilection is In favor of a hand-machine, we supply one which- Is particularly easy to drive, and it is much swifter, than th.3 kiads ordinarily In use,

The groat success o! the "Webtheim Machines throughout Surope and the Ofclonies Is a matter of common observation. Joseph Webthkim 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 quenoe,- has constantly and rapidly increased, any other machines whatever, and we desire especially comparison side by side).

Until the introduction of the Webthbim an advance upon hand-sewing had been made to a limited extent hy the use of American anil Glasgow-made machines of flimsy oonstrnotion. The chief aim and object of the manufacturers of these has consistently been to reduce quality and cheapen the cost of production until it has and soft, the works generally slight and attenuated, Twenty years ago the wonder was, that a sewing-maohlne should sew at all! And often, now, It is amusing to see the gratified surprise of a lady possessing one of the Yankee notions aforesaid at finding that she can actually sew two pieces of stuff together with an ordinary straight seam, Usually "the feed" needs a little assistance by pulling, and' not without missed stitohes here and there, but the astounding faot is that "it sews." Now the day for these makeshifts is over. Her machine Bhould accomplish all kinds of sewing, or it is behind the age and should bo discarded. With the Wertheim New Family Machine, whether for hand or foot use, you can hem any width, make double seams or fells, kilt, braid, stitoh witK chenille, Berlin wool, or-gold cord, and suoh like for fancy .work, You may make a pretty laoe stitoh, tuck ever so finely; bind dWses, coats, or carpets sew on trimmings 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 door-mats, embroidered antimacassars, window curtains, and bo forth. You can easily and rapidly perform the fashionable shirring or gathering so popular for sleeves, bodies.) or skirts of dresses with an appliance supplied gratia; 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 Wbejbejm Will pass from eight folds of tweecl or twenty of calloo to two of thinnest muslin, or even mos-quito-net or tulle, without the operator changing needle, cotton, stitch, or tension, and the fine material will not be gathered in the slightest. Any of these performances will be shown, at our shop* at any time, Til? Webthbim makes a look-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, and the evening meal (finished, the wife—and perhaps the sister or daughter—sits down to her sewing. With her hands alone she cannot, as aforesaid, do any* thiag 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, 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 house is anxious to obtain a first-class machine—that which will ba the greatest of all 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 than the half-crown a-week necessary to purchase it. On one little garment she will save that sum } so that in add). tion to increased comfort, your household expenses will not be enlarged, but ought to be diminished, by the possession of a Webtheim Machine. How often do we not waste money upon really useless knick-knacks or upon needlessly expensive artioles or indulgences? The Machine should far more than pay for itself during the time you are clearing it off, and it will then become your own* earning or saving money as before. Is it not fairly to be called A PBOEIXABLB INVESTMENT ?
