Theclegftnce, speed, nolselessness and simplicity of the 

 machine ; the beauty and strength of the stitch ; being alike 

 on both sides, impossible to ravel, and leaving no chain or 

 ridge on the under Bide ; the economy of thread and adapta- 

 bility to the thickest or thinnest fabrics, have rendered this

THK MOST SUCCESSFCL AND POPULAR 



Family Sewing Machine 



N ow M a d e . 



At my office, I sell at New Yorlc prices, and give 



INSTRUCTIONS FREE OF CHARGE, 



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

 gather, bind and tuck, all on the same machine, and warrant 

 for three years. 



The following commendations are selected from a mass of 

 similar documents, with which a volume might easily be filled. 

 We feel gratified to know that many other 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 sewing 

 machinesfrom various parts of the covmtry, and as we can 

 not conveniently reply to tliem by mail, we have thought 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, AVilson's patent, 

 manufactured by the Wheeler k Wilson manufacturing com- 

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

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

 poses of domestic use. It is simple, not easily 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 tlie excellent machine upon our own 

 rcsponsibilitv, 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 answer- 

 ing letters which frequently come to us with inquiries touch- 

 ing this subject. "—Hcientijic American, April 24, 1868. 



" We prefer the 'nTieeler k 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 postur» and slow starvation of needle work. "—iVeio 

 York Tribune. 



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

 ilies, being especially adapted to that purpose. They work 

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

 of thread than most, if not ail others. " — New York Times. 



" The Wheeler & Wilson is the machine par excellence for 

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

 vocate and Journal. 



" There is not an invention of this Inventive age which 

 honors h merican genius more than the sewing machine. No 

 family ought to be deprived of its benefits. " — lnde/pend«nt. 



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

 cal articles housekeepers can purchase. In looking out for 

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

 son bsfore purchasing elsewhere. " — Examiner. 



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

 public patronage. 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 tlu-ead, and are applicable to every purpose and 

 material common to the art in question. ^'— Christian Inq. 



" Wheeler & 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 investment. " — 

 Obsei-ver.
