to enable purchasers to sew ordinary seams, hem, fell, quilt, 

 gather, bind and tuck, all ou the same luachiue, and warrant 

 for three years. 



The following commendations are selected from a masi of 

 similar ilocuments, with which a volimie might easily be tilled. 

 We feel gratified to know that many otlier persons of the 

 highest literary, political and social standing In this country, 

 have volunteered their warm approval of our Family Sewing 

 Machine : 



" We are having a great many Inquiries for sewinp 

 machines from various parts of the country, and as we can 

 not conveniently rejjiy to tlicra by mail, we have thoufrht it 

 proper to state our opinion in regard to them in this public 

 manner. There are a number of very excellent machines 

 now in the market which are deservedly successful. We 

 have, however, never used but one, namely, Wilson's patent, 

 manufactured by the Wheeler A Wilson manufacturing com- 

 pany, and we can say in regard to it that it is without a rival. 



No uther machine exceeds it in its adaptation to all the pur- 

 poses of domestic use. It is simple, not ea.sily put out of 

 order when in proper hands, and in point of effectiveness and 

 finish, no other machine stands ahead of it. We state this 

 much in regard to the excellent machine upon our own 

 responsibilitv, and without the slightest intention to disparage 

 other machines well known to the public ; and we hope there- 

 by to save ourselves considerable time and postage In ansiver- 

 ing letters which frecjuently come to us with in(|uiries touch- 

 ing this subject. " — Hcientijic Ainerican, April 24, 1853. 



" We prefer the Wheeler & Wilson sewing machines for 

 family use. They will force the industry of woman into a 

 thousand new channels, and emancipate her from the cramp- 

 ed posture and glow starvation of needle work. " — JS'eio 

 York Tribune. 



" Wheeler & Wilson's machines are the favorlties for fam- 

 ilies, being especially adapted to that purpose. They work 

 more rapidly, with less Irictitm, and with a greater economy 

 of thread than most, if not all others. " — Xetc York Times. 



" The Wheeler & Wilson is the machine par excellence for 

 family use, and wo recommend it most emphatically. " — Ad- 

 vocate and Journal. 



"There is not an invention of this Inventive age which 



honors .American genius more than the sewing machine. No 

 family ought to be deprived of its benefits. "—Indcjiendent. 



" A sewing machine is among the most useful and economi- 

 cal articles housekeepers can purchase. In lonking out for 

 the best, it would be well to see machines of Wheeler & Wil- 

 son before purchasing elsewhere. " — Examiner. 



"Wheeler & Wilson's machine are the best ever offered to 

 public patronfige. They are simple and durable ; easily kept 

 in repair; work without noise; sew with great rapidity; 

 make an even and firm stitch on both sides, that will not rip ; 

 economize thread, and are applicable to every purpose and 

 material common to the art in question. " — ChriatianJnq. 



" Wheeler i Wilson's machines combine everything that 

 can be required in the manufacture of garments. Our friends 

 abroad may be assured that they will give entire satisfaction, 

 and that to purchase one of them is a safe iuvestment. " — 

 Observer.

This is, l)ejond all comparison, the most complete and reli-

 true and really useful of all that have preceded it, besides 

 many important facts never before alluded to in any publica-

No thinking man will, at this age of scientific research, be 

 content to leave to mere chance all that pertains to the increase 

 of his family. Judgment will dictate the number of his chil- 

 dren, and the time and circumstances of their births. And 

 surely no intelligent woman will neglect an o|)portunify of ob- 

 taining a knowledge that will promote her happiness, preserve 

 her youth, diminish her sorrows and j)rolong her life !
