AN ACROSTIC. 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 superiority. E very one admits that there is no Machin Stitch at all comparable to the L ock-stitch, which is the firmest and neatest, has the same appearance on E ach side of the material sewn, and, though, cut in two, will not R avel.— The Lock Stitch is the distinguishing feature of their machines ; A nd in addition to the Lock-stitch they have recently introduced an important yet perfectly Novel feature, which not only performs Ornamental Sewing, but also the most D 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 had the desirable effect of rendering their S ewing Machines Silent-working ! This entirely removes what was formerly considered an 0 bjection to the introduction of a Sewing Machine into ladies' apartments. 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 thesej 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 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 Sewing Machine Manufacturers, both in Europe and America." E very year has witnessed improvements in construction, and it has become W orld 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 Gr one through the hands of three competent engineers, and should any defect be found, it is immediately remedied. M ore than three hundred aud twenty thousand of these machines have been sold, and the A nnual sale now amounts to the prodigiou number of over 60,000 ! C an more be said to convince the most sceptical of their superiority ? H itherto no machine has approached the silent working Wheeler and Wilson I n perfection of workmanship, rapidity of action, firmness and elasticity of stitch, N oiselessness of motion, perfect adaptation to every kind of work, E asiness of comprehension to the learner, lightness and elegance of appearance. S uch is the success which has attended the silent working Lockstitch Machine. Caution.— Beware of Spurious Imitations of the Wheeler amd Wilson Machine.
