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 Sewing 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 introduce the most remarkable improvement made in sewing machines for many years, viz., the automatie bobbin winder. This wonderful contrivance fills the bobbins without any attention from the 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 truih is must then he manifest. We are glad to submit them to any examination or test, without any pre-payment whatever. Take an ordinary shuttle and you may cut it with a file or a knife. Take a Wertheim shuttle and you will find it to be a block of steal, which will spoil the file and cannot be cut. Ordinary cog-wheels are of cast iron ; the W ertheim cog-wheels are warranted unbreakable. The same principle is carried throughout, and may by the most unlearned person be readily tested.
