TTTHEELER AND WILSON'S » LOCK-STITCH SEWING MACHINES. REDUCED PRICES, .. - '_ AN ACROSTIC. l 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 i . them. Yet they maintain their, superiority. ■ — - i E very one admits that there is no Machine '< Stitch at all comparable to the ( j L ock-Btitch, which is the firmest and neatest, has the same appearance on ] E ach side of the material sewn, and, though cut in two, • t not "■'•••.• R avel. — The Lo( Stitch is the distinguish- ■ ing feature t, ii: sir machines ; ... i And 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 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 ; 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 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 workmanehip, rapidity of action, firmness and elasticity of stitch, N oiselessness of motion, perfect adaptation to 6 very 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 Lock-stitch Machine. Caution.— Beware of Spuriov.s Imitations oE the Wheeler &md Wilson Machine.
