TjyHEELER AND WILSON'S LOCK-STITOH SEWING MACHINES. REDUCED PRICES. A N AC £"o STI C. 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 "aaterial sewn, and,, though cut in two, • t not R avel. — The Lot \ Switch is the distinguishing feature i. tl> fir 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 I. ndividnal who requires a Sewing Machine to the Silent Feed Bar, their L atest improvement, which has bad the desirable effect of rendering their S ewing Machines Silent-working ! This eutirely 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 acknow- . ledged to lead the world in. this branch of industry ; for out of no less a number than-eigbty-two competitors theyvrere : tlie only firm to whom a gold niedal was awarded ; thus "placing the Wbeeler 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, aud the , . .■-:.•'.' A nnual sale now amounts to the prodigiou number of over 60,000 ! # C an m'jre be said to convince the most sceptical of their superiority ? IT TtEerto no machine has approached th» silent working Wheeler and Wilson I n perfection of workmanship, rapidity of action, firmness and elasticity of stitch, N oiselessuess of motion, perfect adaptation to every 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 Lock-stitch Machine.
