XYTHEELER AND WILSON'S LOCK-STITCH SEWING MACHINES. 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 tbat period many E nterprising firms have tried to supersede ■'- them. Yet they maintain their superiority. E very one admits that there is no Machine 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, p not R avel. — The Lc< Stitch is the distinguishing feature c tLsir machines ; A nd in addition to the Lock-stitch they have recently introduced au 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 tho attention of every I ndividual •vylio 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 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 aud twenty thousand of these machines have been sold, aud the A nnualsale 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, tT oiselcssness of motion, perfect adaptation to every kind of wovk, E aainess of comprehension to the learner, lightness and elegance of appearance. Such is the success which has attended the silent working Lock-stitch Machine. Caution. — Beware of Spurious Imitations of the Wheeler amd Wilson Machine.
