•VrrHEELER AND WILSON'S LOCK-STITCH SEWING MACHINES. REDUCED PRICE.S. A N A C EO^Sril'i W heeler and Wilson's Lock-Stitch Sewing Machines are still unrivalled, although they H ave been before the public nearly twenty ■ years. During that period many E nterprising firms have tried to supersede ... them. Yet they maintain -their sape- .-. riority.,' ■ -, : ../ ■ ■-■<'■;,.■...■> E very one admits that there is no Machine Stitch at aU coi¶ble to the L ock-stitch,' which is the firmesfraod neatest, has the same appearance on E ach side of the material sewn, and, though cut in twoj will not L R avel. — The Lock Stitch is the distinguish* ing feature of their machines ; A nd in addition to the Lock-stitch they hare recently introduced; an important yet perfectly Novel feature, which not only performs Ornamental Sewing, but also the most JD elicate 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. W heeler and Wilson beg especially to call the attention of every ' : I ndividual who requires a Sewing Machine to the Silent Feed Bar, their L atest improvement,, which has hiad the de> fiirable effect of rendering their ;t ' L Sewing Machines Silent-working ! This : ; entirely removes what ; was formirly ' considered an '■■-■'■•■•■^ ;- v ■" •v *- 0 bjection ; to the introduction of a Sewing N othing now remains' to be accomplished in order to render the S ilent-working Lock-stitch Sewing Machine the most perfect instrument 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. S eventy Prize Medals have already been :■■■■■■ bestowed in all parts^ of thief world on these machines. In Paris, at the Exposition 1 Universelle 1 (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 Sewing Machine Manufacturers, both in Europe and America." ; ■ y-^ E very year has -witnessed improvements in construction, and it has become World renowned. ' ■ ; : 1 n order to ensure accuracy Of finish and perfection of ot workmanship, N ot a single machine is allowed to leave the manufactory till it has G one through, hands of three competent engineers, and should any defect be found, it is immediately remedied. M ore than three hundred and twenty thousand of these machines have been sold, andthe .. . . A nnual sale'now amounts to the prodigious number of over 60,000 i C an more be said to convince the most sceptical of .their superiority,? , - ;r ».- H itherto no machine has approached $he silent working Wheeler and Wilson _.
