I JEercfjantitse* "WHEELEE, AND WILSON'S LOCK-STITCH SEWING- MACHINES. AT REDUCED PRICES. AN ACROSTIC. WHEELER AND WILSON'S LockStich Sewing Machines are still unrivalled, although they TTAVE BEEN BEFOEE the public nearly ■^"^ twenty years. During that period many TOTTERPEISING- EIRMS have tried to ■^ supersede them. Yet they maintain their superiority. TTjVEET ONE ADMITS that there is no -■-* Machine Stitch at all comparable to the T OCX-STITCH, which is the firmest and -^ neatest, has the same appearance on Tj]ACH SIDE of the material sewn, and -*-^ though cut in two, will not "OAVEL.— The Lock-Stich is the dis- *-*; tinguiehing feature of their Machines, which they adopted in the first instance, and from which they never have deviated. AND in addition to the LOCK-STITCH they have recently introduced an important yet perfectly "VTOVEL FEATURE, which not only perX1 forma ORNAMENTAL SEWING, but also the most "TJELICATE EMBROIDERY. Their •*-* Machines will now stitch, hem, fell, gather, tuck, bind, cord, quilt, trim, braid, embroider, and in fact will accomplish every kind of work which a Machine can produce. WHEELER AND WILSON beg especially to call the attention of every TNDIVIDUAL who requires a Sewing -* Machine to the SILENT FEED BAR, their T ATEST IMPROVEMENT, which has -*-* had the desirable effect of rendering their QEWING- MACHINES Silent- Working ! This entirely removes what was formerly considered an QBJECTION to the introduction of a Sewing Machine into Ladies Apartments. I^OTHING- NOW REMAINS to be -*- ' accomplished in order to render the QILENT-WORKINGh LOCK-STITCH SEWING-MACHINE the most perfect inBtrument in the market, as numerous testimonials attest. A pamphlet, containing a few of these, with a description of the Machine, its construction and mode of working, and illustrations of its various parts, may be had on application. SEVENTY PRIZE MEDALS have already beeen bestowed in all parts of the world on these Machines. In Paris, at the Exposition Universelle (1867), WHEELER and WILSON'S Machines were acknowledged to lead the world in this branch of industry ; for out of no less a number than eighty-two competitors, they were the only firm to whom a GOLD MEDAL was awarded ; thus " placing the Wheeler and Wilson," says the Art Journal, "at the head of all SewingMachine Manufacturers, both in Europe and America." TfiVERY YEAR has witnessed improve- *-^ ments in construction, and it has become "^yORLD-RENOWNED. TN order to ensure accuracy of finish and -^ perfection of workmanship, "VTOT A SINGLE MACHINE is per- *- ' mitted to leave the Manufactory till it has ' /^j_ONE through the hands of three com- " petent engineers 5 and should any defect be found, it is immediately remedied, and the same test is again applied. Finally, it is put in perfect running order by an accomplished Machinist. MORE THAN THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND of these Machines have been sold, and the A NNUAL SALE now amounts to the -^*- prodigious number of over 60,000 ! nAN MORE BE SAID to convince the most sceptical of their superiority ? TTITHERTO no Machine has approached •*-"- the Silent-working Wheeler and Wilson. TN PERFECTION ,OF WORKMAN- ■*- SHIP, rapidity of action, firmness and elasticity of stitch, ■^TOISELBSSNESS of motion, perfect ■*"' adaptation to every kind of work, T^ASINESS of comprehension to the -"-^ learner, lightness and elegance of appearance. is the success which has attended the Silent- working Lock-Stitch Machine.
