"WoMAS's Greatest Boox- — We would adyise amau '.o 
forego a Thresher and thresh wheat with a flail, rather 
than to see the wife wear her health, vigor and life away in 
the everlasting 'stitch, stitch, stitch,' when a Sewing Ma- 
chine can be obtained. The WEEELER & WILSON is an 
invaluable aid in every houseliold. We have bad several 
different kinds on trial, and after a six year's service, the 
WHEELER & WILSON has taken the precedence as the best, 
where all kinds of sewing are to be done in a family."
