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. Railroad side of a quarter of a mile less
15 feet, filled with costly machinery.
Capital Employed, over 0,000,000.
. Men Employed, 2000.
Machines, Daily Product, 300
Number in Use, 400,000.
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. We willingly abide the re
sult.
