TyHEELER AND WILSON'S LOCK-STITUH SEWING MACHINES. REDUCED PRICES. AN ACROSTIC. W heeler and Wilson's Lock-Stitch Sewing Machines are still unrivalled, although they H ave beeu before the public uearly twenty years. During that period many, E nterprising firms have tried to supersede them; Yet they maintain their superiority. & very one admits that there is no; Machin • Stitch at all comparable to the : L ock-stitch, which is tiie firmest and neatest, has the same appearance on ; •;. • ■ ■ E ach side* of the material sewn, and, though cut in two, ? not ' R avel. — The Lo< 1 3titch is the distinguishing feature c tL fir machines ; - A nd in addition to the Lock-stitch they have recently introduced au important yet perfectly N ovel featuro, which', not only performs Ornamental Sewing, but also the most D clicate Embroidery. Their machiues Will now stitch, hem, fell, gather, tuck, bind, cord, quilt, trim, braid, embroider, and iv 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 de-sirable-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 Lidies' apartments.. N" othing now remains to be accomplished in order to render the S ilent-working Lock-atitoh Sewing Maohine 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 wcrld 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 G one through the 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) and the _ : A nnual sale now amounts to the prodigiou number of over 60,000 ! C an mire be said to convince the most sceptical of their superiority ? H itherto no machine has approached the sileut working Wheeler and. Wilson I n perfection of workmanship, rapidity of action, firmness and elasticity of stitch, N oiselessKess of motion, perfect adaptation to 6 very' kind of work, - , E asiuess of comprehension to the learner, lightness and elegance of appearance. S uch is the success which has attended the silent working Loc k-stitch Machine. Caution.— Beware of Spurious Imitations of the Wheeler amd Wilson Machine. ■ ■■•- LONG and CO,, - - ' ' Agents, 64 Elizabeth street, Melbourne ; FORSYTH and MASTERS, - -Ironmongers, Agents, Greymouth.
