Sins :—The Department has received one Gold Medal, awarded. to your firm for sewing Ma chines, at the Paris• Universal Exposition, of 1887. WM. 11. SEWARD, Scerctary &ale. Second—We assert to the positive sale of the LARGEST NUMBER OF SEWING MACHINES for Family Use of any Manufacturing Company In the country (all combined). THEW HEELER & WILSON IS EXCLUSIVE LY A FAMILY SEWING} MACHINE, and as such, it has, in defiance of all competition, whether it, be manly and honorable, or ungen tlemanly and ignorantly discourteous, made its way, held its own ; and established the well merited reputation so universally extended to the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine. Nor is it necessary in introducing the Yf heeler £ Wil son to the citizens of Lancaster, that we should speak in any way disparagingly of others. We claim to have A FIRST CLASS SEWING MA CHINE, complete, (with no single ware at tachments to buy after purchasing,) the best in use for family work. In taking into consideration the mica naked popularity of this wonderful nusehtne and its immense sale, it should be remembered that we have derived no benefit whatever from the sale of manufacturing machines. Withdraw the heavy machines from the stiletto! the aifferent comparnes,and where do they stand 1 far be hind the Wheeler & Wilson Co., who make the Family Sewing Machine a speciality. Thu Company's manufacturing premises at Bridve port, Conn,, occupy a space of 5 acres, enclosing an entire quadrangle, with a front on the N. Y. & N. H.

In excess of any other, 110,000 to 200,000. In other words,this Manufactory has added to the industrial world the effective force of 1,700,- 000 seamstresses, and is swelling that immense number by adding 2,000 per day. It has even conquered British prejudice. Charles Dickens himself has made it the sub ject of a finely turned article in "Once a Week" aid the London Times, in an exhaustive two column and a half editorial, covering the whole subject of Sewing Machines, awards the highest merits of praise to the WHEELER & as the one best calculated for household work. It is on this mission of labor-saving in all parts of the world, London, St. Petersburg, Madrid, Constantinople, Calcutta, Capo Town, acc- Its agents are everywhere throughout the habitable globe, wherever Ihbries are sown in to human apparel. We respectfully claim attention, and cordial ly invite the citizens of Lancaster county to vis it our °Mee, inspect the Machine, examine the samples of the work performed, and compare them with others.
