Plain Facts for the People About 'Wheeler
Wllkon's Sewing Machine:
It would be folly to attempt any higher eulogy
upon the woild.renowned Sewing Kaden° of
Wheeler& Wilton, (sold In this city at the neat
and tasteful wareresoma. No. 7f, Fifth street,' than
the statement of the feet that wherever t he Wheel.
er h Wilson Sewing Machine has been exhibited
for competitloc; either on tide or the other aide of
the Atlantic, it bas, without a single exception,
taken the highest premium Bo true is this that
Whitener-411e complim:ent him been extended to
any - Other machines, it may be taken as proof pos.
'Mire that the Wheeler & Wilson instrument was
not exhibited at all. This, in Itself, is such a fell
ing fact that to multiply words about It to people
of latelllgence Would be useless. fieverthelees
there are-n towhee of ateldental fact, conneete,i
with this favorite machine that the people ought
to know, a few I. f which we call the attention of
our readers to to-day. In the allowing order :
let. the yearly gales of the Wheeler & Wilson
Sewing Illathines are larger than thoas of a I the
other liming machines combined.
21. Tae trentense manufacture of the Wheeler &
NS Mon Sewing Machine Company, at Bridgeport.
Connecticut, is' one of the wonders of the world.
It occupies upwards of four acres of ground, em
ploye mare than a thousand of the best workmen
le the United States, and with the most improved
Machinery the Company end it Impossible to sup-
Ply the great demist d far their muhlnee to trite
eonntry sad Europe.
3d, The Wheeler In Wilma Machine le an Inctru•
meet of Infinite varlet/M:ln its operation.. It
will braid, curd, bled, tuck, gather, fell and hem
more beaUtifully than any Other machine in use,
without beating, trahg preparation df the work.
4th. Blndinge may be put on the edges of any
kind of garment, bat or cap, without any other ad
justing than that port trmed by the machine itself,
while la the act of sewing them on.
6th. The Lock-Stitch mule , by the Wheeler and
Wilson Sewing Machine is Mena durable and more
beautiful than that made bgany other, and has
these advantage., that it presents the same appear
since on both sides of the fabric, and wilt act ravel.
It La also more economical, requiring one-third leas
cotton than other kind of stitch.
Again : this beautiful stitch, beleg the same on
both sides, It Is not necessary to use the extreme
ly fine oewtng cotton required b 7 those machines
which make a stitch with a ridge on the under side
that can only be concealed bye thread too delicate
and tine to bear ordiniry wear.
nth. The bobbin which holds the under thread in
the OP heeler & Wilson Machine is en constructed
that when en pty no care and very little time le re.
glared to 1111 It. The bobbins on the shutt/e ma
chine, on the contrary, require contiderable taco
In order to wind the cotton on them evenly, and
if the wlndins le done by en inexperienced bud,
the result is, the thread will not upwind freely,
and will brenk.
7th. The rimplitily of the Wheeler ft Wilson Us
chine 'orders its movements so easy that a child
can work it, the weight of the feet alone helve
sufficient to move it. It will work with all kinds
of sowing silk, cotton, or linen thread, and wal

nth. As. an ornamental piece of workmanship,
the Wheelers Wilson instrument Is worthy a

fact which renders It peculiarly desirable and ap
