 We feci Bratified to know that many otlier persona of tlie 

 highest literary, political and social hianding in tliis country, 

 have volunteered their warm approval of our Family Sewing 

 Machine : 



" We are having a great many inquiries for sewing 

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

 not conveniently reply to them by mail, we have thought it 

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

 manner. Tliere are a number of very excellent machines 

 now in the market which are deservedly successful. AVe 

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

 manufactured by the Wheeler & Wilson luanufacturing com- 

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

 No other inucbine exceeds it in its adaptation tn a 1 the pur- 

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

 order when in proper hands, and in point of efl'ectiveness and 

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

 nmch in regard to the excellent machine upon our own 

 responsibilitv, and without the slightest intention to disjiarage 

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

 by to save ourselves considerabie time and postage in answer- 

 ing letters which frequently come to us witli inquiries touch- 

 ing this subject. " — Scientijio Amefican, April 'J4, 1S68. 



" 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 slow starvation of needle work. "— .A'«o 



York Tribune. 



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

 ilies, being especially adapted to that pur]>0!ie. They work 

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

 of thread than most, if not all others. " — Xeic Yoik 7'iines. 



" The Wheeler & Wilson is the machine par excellence fcjr 

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

 zocate atid Journal. 



" There is not an invention of this inventive age which 

 honors j*merican genius more than the sewing machine. No 

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



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

 cal articles housekeepers can juircbase. In looking out for 

 the best, it won d be well to see machines of AVheeler k Wil- 

 son before purcha^ng elsewhere. " — Jia-aniiner. 



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

 public jiatronage. 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 anci 

 material common to the art in question. " — Chri''tian.Jng. 



"Wheeler & Wilson's machines combine everything that 

 can be required in the manufacture of garments. Our friends 

 abroad may be as.=ured that they will give entire satisfaction, 

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