Opinions op the Press : The difference .between this Machine—the new WHEELER and WlLSON—perfected as here shown, and the original Wheeler and Wilson, is as great as that between the latter and the first sewing machine ever made."— Scientific American, January 13, 1877. “The new WHEELER and WILSON IMPROVED MACHINE is so beautifully adjusted that it can sew through several thicknesses of tin and cloth in layers without the slightest difficulty, and, in fact, can ha applied to any purpose, from the making of harness traces by the saddler to the making by a lady of her sweetheart’s handkerchief with her own hair very poetical, perhaps, but perfectly true.’ The Sydney Town and Country Journal, April 28, 1877. . “ The range and capacity of the new WHEELER and WILSON, MACHINE has been increased, so t). at at one moment the heaviest leather work can he sewn, and at the next perfect stitching done with human hair, the only alteration required to bring about this extraordinary result being the changing of the needle and the thread. The working parts have been constructed with so much simplicity that the slightest touch of the foot on the treadle will set it going at a rapid rate. Several tests were made at the establishment of Messrs. Long and Co. yesterday, and in every instance the machines fully upheld the important advantages claimed for them. The most astonishing feat of sewing six layers of heavy tweed with four of tin together was accomplished. The machines are well worthy of inspection."— Age, April 13, 1377.
