WHEELER Ott WILSON
SEWING MACHINE,
The following sketch, which we have prepared
from the most reliable data, will be read with inte
rest by thousands whose families have been made
happier, healthier, and wealthier, by that moat bene
ficent of modern inventions, the SEWING MA
CHINE, and all who feel an interest in its universal
introduction.
From its well•known character and standing as
the most popular and complete machine in use, we
have selected the WHEZLER Sr, WILSON Instru
ment for our purpose. This selection is all the,more
opportune and appropriate_ at this time, from the
fast that the
WHEELER do WILS.ON
MANUFACTURING COMPANY,
'Feeling that the increasing popularity and extensive
sales of their celebrated Sewing Machines demanded
large Emporium for the accommodation of their
numerous patrons and friends, have lately opened
one of the most elegant and tastefullY?arranged es
iabliihinents in- this •city (No. 704 Chestnut street,
second door above Soventh,) where all who desire
can examine their wonderful Machines in operation.
A very laudable and populrrlyuseful feature of
this splendid new establishment is a handsome and
commodious Instruction Room, fitted up for the ac•
commodation of ladies who may desire to learn to
Work on thee Machines ; the instruction tieing given
gratuitously to all who apply (whether intending, to
purchase a Machine or not,) by competent young
ladies employed by Messrs. WHICELICE & WILSON
for that special purpose. Or, if preferred, instruc
tions are given to purchasers of Machines at their
'Nesidences, free of charge. .
THE SEWING AIIi.OIIINE,
ITS carom, INTRODUCTION INTO MINIMAL. USE,
PROGRRSB, AND EXTVaiT Olf ITS arenuFasyruns.
The firstpatent granted in this country for a ma•
chine to sew, as ,a substitute for hand labor, was
issued February 21, 1842, to John J. Greenough, of
Washington city, but, so far as we can ascertain, his
invention, whatever it was, was of no practical use
to ihe world, as no machine, except the model, was
liver built.
The second patent was dated Marsh 4, 1843, issued
to Benjamin W. Bean, of New York city. This,
though called a sewing machine, was quite unlike
any now in use. The cloth was corrugated, and a
10Dg needle thrust through the fold, and then the
- cloth being atraiihtened, was held together some-
What as it is by basting by hand. Probably no ma
chines were ever built for sale, but we find a patent
.for the same model re•iesued Marsh 10, 1849.
The third sewing machine patent was granted De•
camber 27,1843, to George It. Cornea, Greenwich,
TT. Y., for a machine similar to Greenough's. No
machines were made for use, except by the inventor,
no far as we can learn.
TRE.OBIGIN OF THE INVENTION,
• ttowever, which has been popularized by actual use,
'ay be stated as follows :
The successful oriminator of the sewing machine
was an apprentice in the shop of a Mr. Davis, in
Boston, some three or four years before the date of
his patent, where he heard his employer say to a
person who 'inquired, "Can you make a knitting
:machine?"
"Yee ; or a sewing machine."
"Can youl" the mane replied. "If you can, I
will insure you an independent fortune,"
The words "sewing machine" and "independent
fortune" rang in the ears of the young Yankee in
irentor. That was the origin of the sewing MR
chine. From that moment his mind never rested,
though he had no idea how the machine was to be
amide, or fortune acquired. He had not much idea
of the latter, even atter he had accomplished the
'former.
THE INFANCY OF SEWING- MACHINES.
Important as the invention has proved, the public
was slow to see it, and, like many others, it did not
bring that "independent fortune" until after years,
of hope deferred. The infancy of sewing machines
needed much nursing, and the invention came near
perishing before it was appreciated.
After long toiling and experimenting, Mr. Howe
obtained a patent; but he had spent his last dollar,
arid no one was willing to lend or embark another in
Audi a Utopian enterprise as manufacturing sewing
machines.
For a certainty, no one had the power of "second
eight" to enable him to see the palatial sewing ma
chine emporiums that attract the curious.: upon
Broadway Or. Chestnut street; nor , had any one a
visien of such a in . ammoth establishment as that of
the WHEELER & WILSON Company at Bridge
port, where four acres of grouid are covered with
buildings, with steam machinery.aufficient to manu
facture three hundred sewing machines every day.
If those who had money for profitable investment
could have seen in imagination what we have in

IMPROVEMENTS ON HOWE'S MA.ORINE,
AND INNOVATING PATENTS
Howe's patent was dated September 10, 1816. The
next issued was dated November 23, 1848, to Sohn
A. Bradshaw, Lowell, Maas., for a oontrivanee to
give a continuous tension to the thread as it , un
wound from the bobbin and passed through the eye
of the needle.
May 8, 1849, Sohn Bacheldor, of 'Boston, took a
patent to regulate the feeding of cloth anatomically
to the machine, and Jonathan S. Conant, of Draout,'
Mani., took one of the same date, for the eame pur
pose, by a different arrangement. These were is
sued as improvements , ' upon Howe's Machine.
October 2,1849,810dget Leyow, of Boston, ob
tained a patent, since decided as an invasion of
Howe's patent, because it made the "lock-stitoh,”
but by a different method; the shuttle performing a
circuit instead of running back and forth.
This invasion of Howe's patent was a benefit to
him, because it occasioned a good deal of talk,'and
as many,of the machines were made and put in ope
ration, the public began to realize ttiat sewing could
be done by:machinery.
WILSON'S SEWING.MAGHINE PATENTS,
The most important of all the sewing -machine pa.
tents ever granted are those made to A. B. WILSON,
of Pittsfield, Mass. ; the first, November 13th, 1850.
This was for a two-fold improvement of the Howe
Machine. He recognized the
,t! lock-stitch" as the
sine qua non ; but as it was obtained in Howe's Ma
chine by moving a shuttle along a slide, which must
be kept well lubricated, and required some power,
and had to go and return at every stitch, Wilson
undertook to produce the same result at each move
of the shuttle.
The other improvement of WILSON was in the
feed motion," now almost universally adopted by
all manufacturers of sewing machines, and by which
stitches are easily regulated, long or short, as , de.
sired.
A still greater improvement was patented by 111 r.
WILSON, August 12, 1851. This we look upon as the
most ingenious, as well as the moot, important, of.
all the improvements that hive been patented. I
THE ROTATING _ROOK—ITS OPERATION.
The ingenuity of this contrivance is wonderful
from its remarkable eimplieity ; it dispenses with
the dirt of lubrication, and requires no addition to
the power needed to drive the machine, while the
stitches are made more rapidly. A good deal of
time is alto saved in winding the bobbins to foim
the lock• stitch.
This invention of the 'rotating hook" is that
which has given character to the WFIEILLICR & WIL
SON Machine, and although the stitch is the-came
as that originally .produced by Howe, he readily
acknowledges that it is done by a more simple and
ingenious method.
The "rotating hook" is upon the end of the main
abaft that moves all the work, and is carved out of
Bond steel by a series of the moat ingenious machines
that we ever saw in operation. Indeed, it could not
be made by any other means, so that every one
would be perfect and exactly like every other one.
As it revolves it Relies The loop of the thread in the
needle the instant it pasees through the cloth, opens
it out and carries it around the bobbin, HO that the
thread is then passed through the loop of the stitch;
this is then drawn up with the thread in the needle,
so that the two are looped together about half-way
throngh the cloth, forming the strongest possible
seam, showing the stitching exactly even upon both
sides, with no threads above the surface to wear oft
and allow the seam to rip. It hardlypossible that
a mechanical operation can be conceived that is
more simple and effective than this invention of A.
B. WILSON.
THE MANUFACTURE OF SEWING. MA,
CIII.NE's
'Very few persons have an idea of the magnitude
which the manufacture of sewing machines has. at
tained in this country. .
The following unions and companies pay a roy
alty to Mr. Howe;who has recently obtained a re
newal of his patent for seven years from September,
1861: •
The WHICICLER & W.u.sorr Company, whose manu
factory is at Bridgeport, Conn. (covering an area of
four acres, and employing about a thousand of the
most skilful workmen in the United States), and
salesrooms in this city at No. 'lO4 Chestnut street.
L X. Singer ac Co., New York.
Finkle 84 Lyon, New York.
Wilson H. Smith, Birmingham, Conn.
The Parker Sewing Machine Company, Madison,
Conn. •
Charles W. Howland, Wilmington, Delaware.
Miles Greenwood & 00., Cincinnati, Ohio.
N. S. C. Perkins, Norwalk, Ohio.
These firms manufactured and sold, last year, as
nearly as we can ascertain, about 100,000 machines ;
the majority of which were made at the mammoth
establishment of the WHEELER & WILSON Company
at Bridgeport
There is, or wae, a sewing machine manufactur
ing company at Richmond, Va., but " owing to cir
cumstances," we can get no returns of the nUmber
Made at that establishment.
A brother of Mr. Howe also manufactures a small
number in New York, and of a style very much
liked for some purposes. •
So much for the history of the invention; now let
us see how the machhtes are made.

TIT
A DAY IN A SF,WING.MAQHINE MAIM.
'FACTORY.
It is a wonder always to see what has been and
Can be done by ingenious mechanics. We do not
know where ingenuity has been more developed
than in the Waltman sr. WrLSON machine shops at
Bridgeport.
We cannot describe all the carious processes by
which a hundred or more machines are finished
every day, but we will try to give some general idea
of the wpnderful art, skill, power, and appliance - of
machinery that go to the making of ft sewing rda.
chine.
The least oOstly, .though heaviest part of the ma
chine, is oast iron. For instance, the legs, the tree
die, the fly-wheel, the bed-plate, and several .minor
pmts.
Let us suppose a load of pig iron placed upon a
car at the Lehigh, Pa,; mines, and run directly into
the works, which are connected by a side track with
the New York and,New Haven Railroad, and from
that into the furnace, thence Into the moulds which
cover the floor of one immense room, and which em
ploy a score of men.'
From the foundry the castings are taken upon
small railways to the first floor of the finishing shop,
which is a threeostory building, 36 feet wide and 60
feet long, with lines of shafting from end to end of
each floor, which drive two or three tiers of ma•
Chines upon the centre of the floor, and lines along
each weß•lighted side. It is a glorious sight to look
through all these windows from the cars which pass
along the front, when all aro ablaze with burning
gas, which is made upon the spot, to supply the 600
burners required by the workmen.
WONDERFUL ACCURACY OF THESE MA-
URINES
We may here state that one of the secrets of the
superiority of the Wheeler & Wilson machines over
all others is found in the fact of their superior manu
facture, in point of absolute accuracy. It is this that
renders them more simple and easy to operate than
ay others, and that makes them so durable that
they will bear usage for almost a life-time without
needing to be repaired. In order to insure this per
fect accuracy in their manufactory, each workman is
provided with a hardened steel gauge for the para.
pular work at which he is employed, the standard of
which is kept in the iron safe in the superintendent's
office, Then, as most of the men work by the piece,
each day's work of a finisher is carried to the in
spection room, and if all passes inspection the
workman is credited, so that they earn from $3 to
a day.
• From theinspector's room the parts are taken,; as'
required, to the plating : gilding, japanning, and or
namenting rooms, and to the workmen who put the
machines together, all of which, after being oats.
fully adjusted, are thoroughly proved, but are never
ready for sale until they have passed a final inspec
tion by a man who sees that each one works per
fectly, no matter whether a high or low•coat one,
and that each has its quota of needles and bobbins
and tools. When packed for shipment, the cases
are lowered from the inspection room and placed
directly upon ears of the New York and New Haven
railroads.
THE WOOD WORK FOR CASES, &c
This branch of the establishment is very exten
siveococupying hundreds of workmen. In making
tables, all are formed of layers of wood crossing the
course of the grain, five layers deep, firmly glued
and presssed together, so they can neither split nor
warp.
The cases, (some of which are very :rich rose•

merit that we find in the iron, by substituting ma
chinery for - manual labor, so that one man, on
the avergage, does as much as ten men could with

THE MEN WHO MAKE SE WING MACHINES.
There is a study in the men as well as the ma•
chines. If these are specimens of 1 ; Northern mud
sills,” the superstructure of society never can be
shaken down. Here is a man with his shirt sleeves
rolled up and his arms begrimed with oil and iron
who was the representative of the town last year in
the State Legislature, and who worthily tilled the
station.
Here is another who, we suppose t is worth $76,000,
And here are scores of them who own these neat,
handsome dwellings scattered around East Bridge
port, who live in comfort and independence.
Do you believe they are men ofintelligence7 Look
at them. Watch them as they issue in a stream
from the workshops on the way to dinner. There
is not a stolid face among the entire number.
THE " NAME" OF THE WHEELER & WIL-
SON MACHINE.
The name is accidental. A. B. WILSON. was an
inventor. NATHANIEL. WHEELER Wasa manufac
turer,.and circumstances brought them together, and
their Joint productions were called the a Wheeler &
Wilson Machines." In 1862 they turned out from
a sPRIR shop in Watertown, Conn., eight or ten ma
chines per week, mostly hand-made ' and coarse
compared to those made for lege than half the coat
in 1662. The number of machines made in succeed
ing years show an unparalleled increase, until now
the number manufactured annually, we believe, ex
ceeds fifty thousand machines. It re a remarkable
tact that, notwithstanding the lose of the boasted
Southern trade, their manufacture and sales last
year were vastly larger than they had ever been
before.
The WHEELER & WILSON Company is composed
of a company of stockholders, which is manared_bir
a President and Directors, ana.'it is - oniy an act of
the moat simple justice to the stockholders and the
public to say that it is the opinion of the public
who know him, that no company ever had 'a more
efficient President than NAT tr

SAVING OF MONEY AND LABOR IN THE]
USE OF SEWING MACHINES—VALUABLE;
STATISTICS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. +

;. Th . e following' calculation only ap p roximates the!
Slaving of time, which is money, by the use Of sewing
machines. The writer gives a fair calculation neat.
only four articles for which the machine is used, pat
took at the sum total I Look, too, at the time bayed ,
in every family, and think of the aggregate.
If we calculate the annual average profit arising;
from the use of sewing machines at $26 each, which'
is a very reasonable sum, considering how many of
them are in daily use, it would give $966,126 for those!
Manufactured in the year 1861, under Howe's patent,
to say nothing of all previously made, or those Ull,
der other patents. i
We give the following item as a trustworthy cab
Ciliation of saving : ' 1
The importance of the sewing machine to the
manufacturing luterests of the United States is esti.
mated at $342,000,000 annually. The annual saving
by the machine is estimated, on
Men's and Boys' Clothing in New York city
alone $7,6)0,000
Hats and Caps 44E, 500
Shirt Bosoms 311,750
Boots and Shoes, in Massachusetts '1,60,000
It bas revolutionized thirty.aeven distinct d part
meats of manufactures, and in no branch of s Whig
can it be dispensed with where time and heal are
regarded. ,
In Troy, N. Y.. where the tint praetioaltrial the
WHEELER & Wir.sosi Sewing Machine was m ein
1852, for Shirt work, about 3,000 are now used, din
the shirt manufactory of Messrs. Winchester, &
Davies, where the second trial was made; 400 aienew
used. The number of shirts manufastured ailthis
-estabßiliment is about 10,04 X) per week. A machine
with an attendant will do the work of six handl, and
the eetimated saving annually, by using the maoidne,
is $240,000. The shirts Are improved in quality, and
very many who could not do even passable work by
' hand, become prime workers 'on the machini; Is
deed, lees talent is required for _a =chine opsiator
than for hand sewing.
The number of shirt bosoms manufacturedin the
city of Philadelphia is estimated at 36,000 per flay, Or
upwards of 10,000,000 annually, forming seams hug
enough to extend around the globe. An operator
with a machine can. stitch 100 to 160 per day, er,if
the machine be run by power, twice that number;
while by band, six bosoms would be a day's work.

The manufacture of skirts and mantillaa are
branches of business that owe their developme al
most entirely to the sewing machine. Fashion nd
i t
taste, demand frequent changes, and by hand p r, ess
of menufacture but a small portion of the re al red
number could be made before the style wo be
changed. By the sewing' machine the facilitt of
production are equal - to the emergencies. The, 1-
/ions of garments are furnished as required, a nd, he
whole nation clothed according to the pretating
fashion.. ,
.
One house in New York makes 200,000 nisnifilas
per annum, The eight yards of seams, and ,t . lye
of binding, in making one, are done in - half an ' ' ur
far more tastefully than by hand.
The manufacture of white work and infiat's
clothing have become specialties. A. flourishing dry
goods house in New. York have organized an extm
sive sewing department, in connection with tteir
store, employing fourteen sewing machines, and
sewers, cutters, and fitters. Purchasers select e
material, their measure is taken, and thearticles re
sent home ready for wear, greatly to the 3000112 0
i
dation of the customers and profitto the rnerchaits.
This ideals worthy of being adopted in Philadelpkia,
and will no doubt soon be' improved upon. . 1
P. S.--Since writing the above paragraphweletrn

The sewing machine is second in importanceno
Other mechanical agent of human power, and it no
i
experiment; it is an acknowledged fact. It isnot
only a necessity to all manufacturers where stitches
are used, but it is a family necessity, one that:no
family can afford to do without.
The sewing machine compares with hand labol as
the steam engine does with horse-power.
The WHEELER. & WILSON' Company has prerased
tables, showing, by actual experiments of four lif

of a garment by hand and with this sewing machine.

When the machines are driven by power, the ratio
is much higher-1,600 and 2,000 stitches per minute
not being an unusual average.
Seams of a considerable length are ordinarily
sewed, with the best machines, at the rate of a yard
a minute, and that, too, in a manner far superior to
hand sewing.
Garments are now made entirely by it, with the
exception of sewing on buttbns. Laces are stitched
on; folds, tucks, gaiters, and plaits are laid and
stitched • cord run in, binding put on, quilting dote
after elaborate and beautiful designs.
The variety of work done with it is almost incon
ceivable. It sews leather or cloth, from the stoutest
woolen down to the finest cambric, turning the must
delicate hem of a lady's handkerchief without asy
assistance or attention from the operator. It will
stitch up and sew in the sleeves of a gentleman's
coat, and one form of it was invented to work button

Ordinary family sitting-room, having purchased one
when the plainest sort sold for WO. From time to
time we have adopted most of the new improve
ments, but the original idea remains, and will for
ever. We look upon this machine as the good genius
of the household.
WHO BUYS AND USES THESE MACHINES.
It. is estimated that there are now in use in the
city of New York and vicinity not less than 26,000
rrinma ,
W
n WiLsorr Sewing Machines, and there,
where they are best known, le where they 0111 sell
beat In Philadelphia there are up wanbr of 5,000 of
these celebrated machines in use, and the sales are
greatly on the increase.
Instead of injuring the trade of the seamstress, it
has proved to her a blessing. It is used in such a
variety of ways, and so cheapened clothing that it
has created demand, end given more employment
to sewingwomen, and improved their health and
comfort.
A rent collector tells us that he never fears to
trust a woman who owns one of these machines.
We sincerely hope that ;the time will soon come
when every family in this city and throughout the
land will rejoice in the possession of a Wroramia &
WILSON. Sewing Machine, and that the annual pro
duct of their great manufactory, at Bridgeport, in
stead of being a hundred and fifty thousand, will' be
a half million machines, as they could be still fur
ther reduced in price, in order to plate them within
reach of those in the humblest circumstances.
LATE REMOTION IN THE' PRICE'S OF
WHEELER & .WILSON'S MACHINES
The curtailment of litigation expenses, consequent
upon the recent decisions of the United States
Courts, which confirm the validity of Messrs.
WHEELER & WILSON'S patents, and interdict their
infringement, has enabled them to benefit the public
by important reductions in the prices of their ma.

THE EADIOUS " LOOK• STITCH."
The "loclo stitch" made by the WHEELER ar.
WrL
eon Machine is formed with two threads, one upon
each surface of the fabric sewed, and interlocked
with each other in the centre of it. It forms an
elastic eearn, that cannot be ravelled, and presents the
same•appearanci upon each surface. Its excellence
is no longer problematical. It is as firm and elastic
as the fabric sewed, and is not affected by the action
of the smoothing iron or any other wearing surface.
It will last as long •as the article itself. The sales
every year of this family sewing machine
are larger than those of all the other various sewing
machines oonibined. This fact alone is a proof of its
superior merit. , •
One feature in the use of the WHEELER. & WILSON
Sewing Machine, resulting from - the wide range of
its application, is the varying branches of business
to which it is applied. Thus, these machines may be
employed In making skirts; or mantillas, or diamond
ruffling, or shirts, or stitching hats and caps, etc.
They are not limited to one branch of manufacture,
but, so long as sewing is to be done, these machines
are sure of something to do, being adapted to every
variety of sewing for family wear, from the lightest
=Mins to the heaviest cloths. They work equally
well upon silk, linen, woolen and cotton goods—
seaming, quilting, gathering, hemming, felling, cord
ing, and braiding—making a beautiful and perfect
stitch alike on both sides, and performing every
species of sewing r except making buttonholes and
stitching on buttons.
WHAT TREWHEELER & WILSON MA-
I#=MP';MriMi'lff=MMMl
1. Beauty and elegance of stitch. alike upon both
sides of the fabric sewed.
2. Strength, firmness, and durability of seam that
will not rip nor ravel, and made with
3. Economy of thread.
4. Its attachments and wide range of application
to purposes and materials.
s.,Compactness and elegance of model and finish.
6. Simplicity and thOroughness of constrnotion.
.1. Speed, ease of operation and management., and
quietness of movement. . .
The American institute, New -York, reports:
"That the WHBELBR & WILSON Machine makes
the "Lock- Stitch," and ranks highest on account of
the elasticity, permanence, beauty, and general desi
rableness of the stitching when done, and the wide
range of its application."
This report was in accordance with the previous
repeated awards at the fairs of the United States,
and other agricultural societies.
It is a splendid and well-deserved compliment to
the WHEELER & WILSON Machine, that wherever it
has been exhibited in competition with others it has
taken the'
HIGHEST PREMIUMS
• The highest premiums were awarded to WHEELER
& WILSON at the International Exhibition, London,
1862; Industrial Exposition, Paris, in 1861, and at

taken the highest premium: SO `true is this that
wherever this
compliment has been extended to any
other machine, it may be taken as :woof positive
that the WHEELER & WILSON instrum an.!„,as,no.t
exhibited at all ; this, in itself, is such a ." - ""!Y ` a( ne
that to multiply words about it, to people Of intein
gence, Nyould be useless.- Nevertheless, ther ,ar? a
number of incidental facts connected with th
fa
vorite machine that the people ought to know, a "tea r
of which we take the liberty of introducing here in
- the following order : '
let.' The yearly sales of the WHEELER &WILSON
Sewing Machines (sold in this city at No. 704 Chest"
mitatreet), are larger than those of all the other
sewing machines combined.
2d. The immense manufactory of the WareStma &
WILSON Sewing Machine Company, at Britigeta s rt,
Connecticut, is one of the wonders of the world. It
occupies upwards of four acres of ground, employs
more Iliare thousand of the best workmen ita the
United States, and, with the most improved ma
chinery, tlae company find it impossible to etipply
the great demand for their machines in this country
and Europe.. :
ad. The-Wireetzu & WrisoN Machine is an ire.
strument of infinite versatility in its operations. lii
will braid, cord, bind, tuck, gather, fell, and hern
more beautifully than any other machine in use;
and by attaching a small arrangement called a " trim
mer,” any kind of trimming may be sewed on
dresses without previous basting.
4th. Bindings may be put on the edges of any kind
Of garment, hat, or cap, without any other adjusting
than that performed by the machine itself while in
the act of sewing them on.
6th. The Lock. Stitch, made by the WHEELER &
WILSON Sewing:Machine, is more durable and more
beautiful than that made by any other, and has these
advantages, that it presents the same appearance on
both sides of the fabric, and will not revel. It is
also more economical, requiring onothird less cotton
.than, any other kind of stitch.
Again, this beautiful stitch, being the same on
'both sides, it is not necessary to use the extremely
fine sewing cotton required by those machines which
snake a stitch with a ridge on the under side, that
can only be concealed by a thread too delicate and
line to bear ordinary wear.
6th. The bobbin which holds the under thread in
the WHEELER '& WILSON Machine is so constructed
that when empty no care and very little time is re
quired to fill it. The bobbins on the shuttle machine,
on the contrary, require considerable care in order
to wind the cotton on them evenly, and if the wind
ing is done by an inexperienced hand, the result is
the thread will not unwind freely, and will break.
7th. The .simplicity of the WHEELER & Witsoer
Machine renders its movements so easy that a child
can work it, the weight of the feet alone being sue
ficient to move it. It will work with all kinds of
sewing silk, cotton, or linen thread, and will sew
all kinds of materials, from the thinnest gauze to
the heaviest cloth or leather. It is used by thou
sands of tailors, dress makers, hatters, cap , makers,
hoorsekirt manufacturers, skirt makers, and seam
it-reseal.
Bth. For rapidity of motion, the WHEELER & Wrrr
sow Machine excels all others, as has been demon•
strafed a thousand times by comparison..
9th. It is so noiseless in its operations that Con
versation may be carried on in the ordinary pitch of
voice in a work.room where a score of machines are
in motion.
101 h. Another very great advantage that the
WHEELER & WILSON Machine possesses over
others, is found in the fact that the work on it is"
Carried on in the natural way, from left to right,
which enables the operator to adjuat the work more
readily, and without any change from the upright
• posture, while machines which carry the work from
the operator require en inclination of the body (de
trimental to health) in order to adjust the material
as it passes from under the needle.
11th. As an ornamental piece of workmanship the
WHEELER & WILSON instrument is worthy a place
in the moat elegantly.fundshed parlor, a fast which
renders it peculiarly desirable and appropriate as a
gift. Some of the cases are of rosewood, walnut,
or mahogany, furnished with sets of drawers for the
reception of cottons, sewing silks, &c., and when
the doors are closed there are few &diodes of furni
ture more exquisitely beautiful.
For these and sundry other reasons, no household
in the land is complete without a WHEELER & WIL
SON sewing machine.
They are within the reach of everybody, being
made to suit all tastes and circumstances ; and the
plainest in finish, which costs $46, will work as well
as one which costs $2OO.
...We advise our reeders to preserve these facts, and
poet them conveniently for future reference, and
suggest that when they want the best Sewing Ma.

WHEELER & WILSON'S DIRECTIONS TO
PURCHASERS.
Messrs. WAFFLER & WILSON have printed circu
lars, for gratuitous distribution, containing fine
worid-cut illustrations of all their different priced
machines and all their individual parts, together
with the moat explicit directions for their-use,
printed in English, German, Spanish, French, and
other languages, for the convenience of their cus
tomers in all parts. of the World. These circulars
are got up in a very beautiful and artistic manner,
and are no less creditable than they are interesting
contributions to the illustrated literature of the day.
They pan be had by calling at the rooms of their
agency in this city, No. 704 Chestnut street, or will
send by - mail on application.
They have also issued neatly-printed circulars,
containing pictorial illustrations and full historic
descriptions of, the various kinds of stitches mide
by all the sewing machines in use, including the
it through-and. through" stitch, the " running" stitch,
"stitch ripping," "single-thread chain stitch missed,"
the "lock" stitch also, the exact appearance of
a "line of lock stitches," of "gathering lock
stitches," of " single-thread chain stitches," "single
thread chain-doublethread chain stitch left loose,"
"double-thread chain stitch drawn up," " double
thread chain stitch ironed and worn off," " double
thread chain stitch with stitch dropped," -" lock
stitch dropped," and "double-thread chain stitch on
a bias and brok en."
THE QUESTION OF "TENSION."
Besides the feed and the machinery for making the
stitch, the tension of the thread has commanded more
attention than anything else. No matter what the
stitch made, this difficulty has to be met. The trouble
has been to so adjust the strain upon the two threads,
that the point of interlocking shall be in the proper
position. This is a matter of great difficulty when
the thread is used from the original spool, on account
of the irregularity with which these spools are made.
In the WHISELIZS. & WILSON' machine this difficulty
has been overcome in a most successful manner. The
lower thread is rewound on a metal spool of such
size as to hold about 50 or 60 yards of No. SO cotton,
go that a spool of 200 yards will till the bobbin four
times.- Leis than a minute is requisite for rewinding
a spool. Five minutes per day is more than would
v o T i Terditimir„ygipAng alithe thread a housekeeper
is then paid to the lower thread, and the tension kit
being automatic, the proper regulation of the upper
thread is alone necessary. This thread , is fed from
the original spool without any rewinding, to a small

i• In the double-thread chain-stitch machines the two
threads are used for the original 'wools, and the LIM
floulty of sejusting the tension of the two threads i.s
greatly increased from this fact. Hence, the regula
tion of the tension properly on this kind of machine
is more difficult than on any other. As the great
waste of thread in forming this stitch is found on the
lower aide, the replacing of the exhausted spool is
about as frequent es the refilling of the spool in the
WHEELER & WILSON Machine. And any one at
all conversant with the two kinds of machines knows
i'Jmt more time is required in supplying the spools,
Weeding the lower crooked needle or the double
thread chain stitch machine, and adjusting the ten
sion, than in rewinding the lower thread for the
Wrinsmzx & WILSON machine, which never breaks.
In view of these facts,
PUBLIO OPINION
Has quietly settled down in favor of the WitiEELRII.
h WThsox instrument. This is fairly attested in the
fact that although the double•thread chain•slitch has
been clamorously recommended to the public for
nearly ten years as far superior to the lack atiich , yet
of the 46,243 machines retuned to Dlr. Howe as sold
in 1859, nearly 4C:090 make the lock stitch, showing
the verdict 01 the public in this matter.
The Committee of the American Institute, New
York, appointed to examine sewing mrsehines, made
a long, elaborate, and able report of much interest to
the public, in which the W128E5118 & WILSON - ma-
chine is given the preeminence beyond a peradven
ture. The report pays
Class lst includes the Shuffle or Lock-Mris
eeftes for family use, and' for manufacturers in the
same rouge of purpose and material The Oommit
tee bap assigned this claw the higheat rank, on ac
count of the " elasticity, permanence, beauty, and
generaldestrableness of the stitching when dens,"
and the wide range of its application. At the head
of this class they place the WHEYCLIZE & Mt - melon'
Machine, and award it the :Dgbest'presnium. This
has been the uniform award for this machirie
throughout the country for several years, and we
think no disints rested person will dispute its justice'
and propriety.
SOME Or THE GRAND RESULTS' OF . THE
WHEELER &. WILSON SE WING MACHINE.
From what has been already said it will be seen
that the W H3ELER & WitSori Sewing Machine, sold
in this city at No. 704 Obestnut street, is not an ex
periment to be tried, but a success achieved, with
benefits far exceeding the most sanguine expectation.
The steam engine and the magnetic telegraph have
not proved more beneficent in the commercial world
than has this in the domestic. From feeble begin
nings, in 1862; and embarrassed by prejudices from ,
the imperfections of machines then before the pub
lic, it has entirely revolutionized needlework-, and
won for the Sewing Machine a recognition as being
second to no mechanical agent.
With the invention of this machine, a new era
dawned upon woman, which will not fail to be
marked upon the health, virtue, and happiness of
future generations. Poets, orators, divines, philoso
phers, and economists, have descanted upon its
bearings on social interests and the destiny of
woman. Major General N. P. BANKS, in his ad
dress at the Crystal Palace, declared that: "The
Sewing Machine will work as great a change is
families as railways have in communities and
States." The ladles themselves have been most
earnest in its' praise. Not only in private but in
public, through the press, ladies of the highest social
standing, and authoresses of the first distinction,
have exerted their influence in its behalf. Mrs. E.
Oaxv.e Salim has for more than four years earnestly
employed ber pen in advocating its general intro
duction into families. She says :
Of the WHEELER & WILSON Machine we can
;meek with entire clearness and confidence after the
use of one four years or more in our family. We
look upon-it as one of the benefactions of the age,
and one which will constitute an era in the history
of woman. Its song should be :
Click click I click
While the cook crows loud and free,
And click ! click ! click
Is a merry sound to me,
With bodice trim and neat
I seam, and gnome, and band,
With my dainty-Blippered feet,
And a small, white-lingered hand. °
Stitch to the click of the steel,
And never an aching head,
While I turn the gliding wheel,
With the gleaming silver thread.
Oh, woman ! no more a alive
To seam, and gusset, and band s
Shall beautiful grow and brave,
In the light of our happy land."
So fully has the WHBIELIMA Wrr,sow Sewing Ma
chine `commended itself to public favor, that it is
now looked upon as indispensable in every branch
of industry requiring sewing. Not only are the
wants of housekeepers fully met, but the machine.is
found a necessity for the seamstress, dress-maker,
tailor, manufacturers of shirts, collars, cloaks, man
tillas, clothing, hats, caps, corsets, ladies' boots, silk
and linen goods, umbrellas, parasols,
etc. Some of
theee branches of business have attained gigantic
proportions, and it is not unusual to find from 100 to
400 sewing machines used in a single manufactory.
This Is not surprising when the efficiency of the ma.
chine is considered.
THE WHEELER & WILSON
THE FAMILY.
By none has the Sewing Machine been more grate
fully welcomed than by the Housekeeper, who is no
longer equal to the burdens imposed upon her by
necessity, fashion, and taste. A_comfortably pro
vided wardrobe for a family, consisting of husband,
Wife, arid five children, would be about as follows:
For the husband—One dozen shirts, with bosoms
and collars ; four nightshirts ; two pairs of under
shirts and drawers; one dozen pocket and neck
handkerchiefs ; one dozen pair of stockings, one
morning gown; one overcoat and two dress coats;
three pairs of thick pantaloons and three thick vests,
for winter; two coats, three pairs of pantaloons,
three vests and one overcoat for spring and fall ; and
for summer, three coats, six pairs of pantaloons and
five vests. The wife would require one dozen dresses,
of different materials; an equal number of skirts,
and as many changes of under. garments; one winter
cloak and various other outer garments, according
to fashion; one dozen pairs of hose and gloves,
besides numerous cuffs, collars, under-sleeves,
aprons, handkerchiefs, ac. Each of the five children
would require more changes than either of the pa
rents, because they soil them more readily, wear
them more rapidly, and also outgrow some.
Bed•linen for five beds might consist of ten pairs
of sheets and blankets, ten pairs of pillowcases and
bolster covers, besides coverlets, comfortables,
quilts, ticks, &c. Table and toilet linens might be
set down at half a dozen tablecloths, four dozen
napkins, and four dozen towels. In addition to the
above; there are !minuets, hoods, caps, curtains, car
reismsgArt &c., that require the use of the needle
fancy work demand %%Voir
t embroidery; and other
above specified do not require renewing annually,
but they all need -more or less repair.

about equal to making the garments anew. ;
Many articles of clothing are Indeed purchased
ready-made, but In many canes they are so poorly
made, and in all cases no bad a tit, that the purchase
is a choice of evils, and not of taste.
It is evident, however, from the above inventory
o the family wardrobe, that no one pair of hands 13.

fait:hful wife and mother struggles hard eafiy.under
this accumulation of labor. in connection with her
other household duties--children: cooking, cleaning,
washing, Atc ; but, when the voices of the fancily are
hushed in slumber, elm plies her busy needle until
the clock hen chimed the midnight hour. " With
fingers weary' and worn, with eyelids heavy and
red.,' she toils' .at her er.elleet task, until her brain
grown dizzy and bernyes awirl3.
The Sewing Machine furnishes relief from these
evils, and reatorea to woman time for the charities
and amenities of life,.lbe proper care of her children,
and her own culture. Length , o? days, health, am!
happiness, are chespfy purchased for her at the
price of a Sewing Mach Ne.
The testimony before iltecYatent Commisaioner is
pertinent to this point: Rev. Dr. TY2IrEF said, in sub
stance, that in view of the beneficial effect of Sew
ing Machines, he tau taken much Internet in endea•
voring to have poor women aupplied with them;
and, as a result of his observation, that "their con.
dition was much improved by thera, ,, and that " in
telligent sewing women are nowgenerally satisfied .
of the importance and value of these machines."
TriE PECUNIARY ADVANTAGE - 5
OF TICESE
- -
Nor are the pecuniary advantagefleits. Instead
of the half dollar paid for a day, lengthened far into
the night, she receives from three to fi — t-times that
amount for a day's employment of reasonable hours.
Indeed, in thousands of cases' has the presentation.
of a seising machine rendered an object orciiiirity
self.supporting, and converted her into a thrifty and
willing almoner. Mothers support families, and
young women become capitalists. It is not unusual
to find the owner of a sewing, machine earning from
$6O to sloo.per month.
EMINENT OPINIONS OF THE WHEELBE &
WILSON SEWING nr.Acuurs-Es.
We conclude our sketch with the following quo•
tations from the hundreds of commendatory letters,
&a., that the Wheeler & Wilson Company are eon
stantly receiving from all parts of the world :
I have great pleasure in bearing testimony to the
value of your Sowing Machine. It is the realiza
tion of all our imaginings of household fairies and
good hardworking brownies that ask for no pay
ment. IVlenr Howxrr.
What the Bteatn• en gine proves, compared to horse
power, this beautiful machine is when set in oppo
sition to the slow, patient progress, or the ordinary
needle. AWNA S. SrBFHTENS.
I find your machine invaluable. I have used it a
year, and it has never been out of order. The stitch
is very durable, and can he adapted to fine or coarse
materials. It works with the rapidity of a dozen
hands ; saves much time, fatigue, and expense: Eine
of your machines is used in my father's familr,
another in the household of a sister, and others try
various friends. The opinions of all accord WM
that I have just expressed.
Alma CORA. Rivcats.
Of it we can speak with entire clearness and con
fidence, after the use of one four years `or more in our
family. We took upon it as one of the benefaction
of the age, and one which will constitute an era in
the history of woman. Mils. E. °Axes Serra.
Mrs. Vinton desires me to express to you her entire
satisfaction with your Sewing Machine. I may add
that, judging from the frequency of the rapid tick of
this machine, it promotes both industry and plea
sure. My purse bears witness that the Sewing Ma
chine among its other excellencies, is a household
economy. Rev. De. FRANCIS VINTON'.
Your admirable Neeffle women is the only seam
stress that defies extortionate men. They cannot
cheat it, nor starve it, nor deprive it of Bleep, nor
tire it out, nor make its hands weary. It is a work
. er that is a match for the moat unwearied and ava
ricious manufacturer. At last I am thankful that
there is a Machine-Woman that cannot be oppressed
nor kept in suffering.
HRICRY WARD BRNORRIL
I take pleasure in saying that the Sewing Pillachine
purchased of you by me, has been wholly serviceable.
