The elegance, speed, noiselessness and simplicity of the 

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

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

 ridge 071 the under side; the economy of thread and adapta- 

 bility to the thickest or thinnest fabrics, have rendered this 

 the 



THB MOST SUCCESSFUL AND FOPULAS 



Family Sewing Machine 



If o w M a d e . 



At my oflSce, I sell at New York prices, and give ■ 



INSTRUCTIONS FREE OF CHARGE, 



to enable purchasers to sew ordinary seams, hem, fell, qullt^ 

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

 for three years. 



The following commendations are selected from a niAss of 

 rimilar documents, with which a volume might easily be filed. 

 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 

 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. 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 b.y the Wheeler & 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 m point of effectiveness and 

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

 niucli 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 oursslves considerable time and postage in answer- 

 ing letters which frequently come to us with inquiries touch- 

 jng this subject. " — IScientiJic American, April 24, 1858. 



"We prefer the Wheeler & Wilson sewing machines for 

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

 tliousand new channels, and emancipate her from the cramp- 

 ed posture and slow starvation of needle work. " — Nefio 

 York Tribune. 



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

 ilies, being eH)ecially adapted to that purpose. They work 

 more rapidly, with less friction, and with a gi-eater economy 

 of thread than most, if not all 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 ti merican genius more than the sewing machine. No 

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



" 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 & Wil- 

 son before purchasing elsewhere. " — Examiner. 



" Wheeler & 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 thread, and are applicable to every purpose and 

 material common to tlie art in question. " — Christian Inq. 



"Wheeler k 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. " — 

 Observer.

 of thrifty growth and fine assortment of varieties for 

 sale in the fall of 1S60 and spring of 1861. Persons desirous 

 of purchasng are invited to write for description catalogues 

 which will be ready for distribution by the first of August. ' 

 In addition to his usual large stock of Fruit and Ornamen- 

 tal Trees, the proprietor has the pleasure of offering for fall 

 and spring sales, the largest and finest stock of 



Pi:.a.CB: trses 



which he has ever grown. The late severe winter proved go 

 disastrous to peach nurseries in sections of the country, both 

 North and South, has in no manner injured his. Those who 

 intend to plant lagely are especially invited to visit the nur- 

 series and examine the stock for themselves. A long experi- 

 ence, extending through a period of over thirty years enables 

 the proprietor to raise such varieties as succeed well for mark- 

 et purposes. During this period he has sent trees to all sec- 

 tions of the country, and knows from an extensive correspon- 

 dence with his customers how each kind succeeds, and which 

 have proved profitable in particular localities. With this ex- 

 perience, he can confidently recommend his stock, and caa 

 assure those who leave the selection ©f kinds to him, that 

 they shall receive only such as will prove remunerative. 



During the menths of August and September the fruit of the 

 principle varieties of Peach, Pear and Apple may be seen; at 

 which time those intending to plant are invited to call. 'a11
