The elegance, speed, noiselessness and BimpHcify of the 

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

 on both 8ide><, impossible to ravel, and leaving no chain or 

 ridge on the under Hide; tlie economy of thread and adapta- 

 bility to the thickest or thinnest fabrics, have rendered this 

 the , 



THK MOST SnCCESSFUL AND POPULAR 



Family Sewing Machine 



ITo'wMade. 



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



INSTRUCTIONS FREE OP 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 countj-y, 

 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 ^ mail, we have thought it 

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

 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 & 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 

 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 answer- 

 ing letters which frequently come to us with inquiries touch- 

 ing this subject. " — Soientijio Atnerican, April 24, 1S58. 



"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. "— .S^w 

 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 all others. "— JViwc York Times. 



" The Wheeler & Wilson is the machine par excellence for 

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

 vocate arid Journal. 



"There is not an invention of this inventive age which 

 honors A merican genius more than the sewing machine. No 

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



" 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 datable ; easily kept 

 m 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. " — ClirintUm l7iq. 



"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. " — 

 Ohaercer.

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

 dence with his customers how each kind succeeds, and wliich 

 have proved profitable in particular localities. With this ex- 

 perience, he can confidently recommend his stock, and can 

 assure those who leave the selection of kinds to him, that 

 they sliall receive only such as will prove remunerative.

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

 which time those intending to i)lant are invited to call. All
