AND WILSON'S I LOCK-STITCH SEWING iIACHINES. REDUCED PRICES. AN A C R O S T I 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 nter prising 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 'material sown, and, though cut in two, f not R avel. — The Lo< S'itch is the distinguishing feature i_ fcb*ir machines ; A nd in addition to the Lock-stitch they have recently introduced an important yet perfectly r • , 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 tb the Silent Feed Bar, their L atest improvement, which has bad 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 j 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 arid mode of working, and illustrations of its various parts, maybe hiid 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 I 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. I 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 ia 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 prodigiott 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, N oiselessuess of motion, perfect adaptation to every kind of work, E asiness of compreheusion to the learner,; lightness and elegance of appearance. S uch is the success ; which has attended the silentworkins Lock-stitch Machine. Cautiox.— Beware of Spurio-.s Imitations of the Wheeler amd Wilson Machise.
