rpHE following- is an extract taken from a" X English paper, the " Co-operator," of April 30th, which I think is very applicable to some parties trading in this city : — • " James P^att and Co.— Our readers will observe a correspondence on tho last pnge of the "Co operator " of interest to all ready-money buyers, and exemplifying one of the worst features of undue' competition. This is not the first time we have had to expose the system of " rat toning " amongst so-called " respectable " merchants and middlemen, who are ready enough to denounce anything like it amongst the members of trades unions. Tho former attempt to damage tho Messrs Platt, because of their economical mode of doing business, occurred in Manchester ; the present instance conies from Huddersfiela". Lancashire and Yorkshire being the homo of free trade, we consider it our duty to notice these underhand attempts at coercion so that their intended influence may be nullified as far as possible. Messrs Platt oiler certain advantages to wholesale buyers who pay cash ; this has aroused tho jealousy of some dealers who give long credit, and who cannot therefore do without long prices ; and a successful attempt has again been made to induce the makers of certain kinds of goods to refuse to supply further orders from Messrs Platt, and closo their account without assigning any satisfactory reason. Tho inconvenience will be only temporary. Other firms can supply the Binno goodF, and the ultimate result will be greater freedom of trade, and probably reduced prices for a better quality of goods. Thus the conspiracy of envious customers, like " vaulting ambition, o'erleaps itself, and falls on the other Bide." JAMESON'S CO-OPERATIVE STORE, Willis street, Nearly opposite the Scotch Church. WHEELER & WILSON'S LOCK-STITCH SEWING MACHINES, AT REDUCED PRICES (An Ackostic.) WHEELER & WILSON'S Lock-stitch Sewing Machines are still unrivalled, although they HT7J?^EEN~BEI : o^ljj7^ionc"ariy2o years. During that period many T ENTERPRISING FIRMS have tried to super" .Hi sedethem; Yettheymaintaintheirsuporiority. 171 VERY ONE admits thatthero is no Machine jJ stitch at all comparable to tho I~"~OCK-STITCH, wlncMslhelirmest and neat~i est, has the Batne appearance on EACH SIDE of tho material sewn, and though cut in two, will not ~D AVEL. — Tho Lock-Stitch is the distinguishJLA/ ing featuro of their Machines, which they adopted in the first instance, and from which they have never deviated. AND in addition to the lock-stitch they have recently introduced an importimtyetperfeof Ij OVEL FEATURE, which not only performs ornamental sowing, but also the most ELIOATE EMBROIDERY! Their~lf achines 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 ovory TNDIYIDUAL who requires a sewing machine JL to the silent feed bar, their T~AT^T~IMiPIoyIMENT l which h"as~hTd JLJ tho desirable effect of rendering their Q E WING MACHINES~sTIent working! This enK3 tirely removes what was formerly considered an OBJECTION to the introduction of a sewing machine into ladies' apartments. "TVTOTHING now remains to be accomplished _L^l in order to render tho SILENT-WORKING LOCK-STITCH SEWING MACHINE tho most perfect instrument in thomarkot, as numerous testimonials attett. A pamphlet-, containing a fow of these, with a description of tho Machine, its construction and mode of working, and illustrations of its various parts, may bo had on application. SEVENTY PRIZE MEDALS hare already been 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 tho Wheeler and Wilson," says the "Art Journal," " at the head of all Sewing Machine Manufacturers, both in Europe and America. TjWERY YEAR has witnessed improvements _I_J in construction, and it has become ORLD-RENO WXED. ' IN order to ensure accuracy of finish and perfection of workmanship OT A SINGLE MACHINE is permitted leavo the manufactory till it has GONE through the hands of throe competent, engineers, 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. 08, 18 THAN THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND of these Machines have been sold, and tho ANNUAL SALE now amounts to tho prodi gious number of over 00,000! CAN MORE BE SAID to convince tho most sceptical of their superiority ? XXITHERTO no machine has approached tho JLjL Silent working Wheeler and Wilson TN PERFECTION OF~WORKMANsIEp, JL rapidity and action, firmness and elasticity of stitch, NOISELESSNESS of motion, perfect adaptatiou to every kind of work, EASINESS of comprehension to tho learner, lightness and elegance of appearance. SUCH i 9 tho success, which has attended the Silent working Lock-Stitch Machine. LONG & CO, 64 Elizabeth street, Melbourne, opposite the "Age" oflico. E. W. MILLS, Agent for Wellington.
