TJTTHEELER AND WILSON'S LOCK-STITCH SEWING MACHIN/ES. REDUCED PRICES. 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 ho Machin Stitch at all comparable to the L ock-atitch, 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 tlie distinguishing feature of their machines ; , . A nd in addition to the Lock-stitch; they have recently introduced an important yet perfectly N" ovel 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 X 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 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 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 j for ont 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 - ' ■• - .
