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 yeara. During that period^manySl ,^^| , E nterpriuSg 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 sewn, and, though cut in two, ? not R avel.— The Loc Stitch is the distinguishing feature c their machines ; {- %. A nd in addition to r 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 Embroider^. 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 Jhe 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 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^rtnstruction 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 partis 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 put of no less a number than eighty-two competitors they were the only firm J^whoin a gold medal was awarded ;', thus "placing the " Wheeler and' Wils° n »" says the Art Journal, "at bead 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 <M?der to ensure accuracy ofgiinish and ■'. ■'.•■; perfection of ot workmanship, N^t^a single machine is allowed to leave the. .. ■'■■.-' "manufactory till it has v'G- one through the hands of three competent engineers, and should any defect be found, it is immediately remedied. M ore %m 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 workmanship, rapidity of action, firmness and elasticity of Rtitch, N oiselessuess of motion, perfect adaptation to 6very kind of work, j E asihess of comprehension to the learner, „:'■ lightness and elegance of appearance. S iiCh is the success which has attended the silent working Lock-stitch Machine.
