Wertheim Company, WERTHEIM’S SEWING MACHINES Hand and Treadle. £I,OOO CHALLENGE. THE “WONDERFUL WERTHEIM” SEWING MACHINES. ONE MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND of these wonderful machines have been sold during nineteen years. The product of the German Sowing Machine Factories last year was more than five hundred thousand machines. The old-fashioned machines are of cheap and inferior construction, with soft shuttles, very few appliances, and very deficient mechanism. The “ Wertheim ” possessed the loose winding wheel, absurdly called the triple action balance wheel, four years in advance of the others, and we now in troduce the most remarkable improvement made in sewing machines for many years, viz., the automatic bobbin winder. This Wonderful contrivance fills the bobbins without any attention from tho operator, as smoothly as upon a reel of cotton. The old-fashioned machines do not possess this, but in a few years our patents will be infringed by a copy, and the dealers will advertise “ Beware of German imitations !” Our desire is always, under all circumstances, to place the Wertheim machine side by side with the flimsy and obsolete styles, or with any make whatsoever. Upon which side the truth is must then be manifest. We are glad to submit them to any examination or test, without any pie-payment whatever. Take an ordinary shuttle and you may cut it with a file or n knife. Take a Wertheim shuttle and you will find it to be a block of steal, which will spoil the file and cannot bo cut. Ordinary cog-wheels are of cast iron; the Wertheim cog-wheels are warranted unbreakable. The same principle is carried throughout, and may by the most unlearned person be readily tested. CHALLENGE FOR £1,000! As a further reply to untruthful and ad captandum advertisements, we hereby offer to submit the "WONDERFUL WERTHEIM” MACHINES under challenge for £I,OOO a-sido, in competition with all or any Yankee or Glasgowmade machines, falsely sold as American ; the contest to be decided in public by English fair play and not by Yankee smartness. Tho terms maybe ascertained at our offices, George-street, by any agent who chooses to compete. THE WERTHEIM SEWING-MACHINE COMPANY, FRANKFORT, GERMANY.
