"Wostax's Greatest Boon - .— We would advise a man to 
forego a Thresher and thresh wheat with a flail, rather 
tuaifto 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 WHEELER & WILSON ~is an 
invaluable aid in every household. Wc have had 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 or sewing are to be done in a family."

"We had an opportunity Intel" of passing through this 
great establishment, which is one of the largest "in the 
country, embracing Nos. 01, 65, 66, C7, OS, 69, 7U. ~i and li 
Washirigton-st. Tlie space occupied bv it seems incredible. 
Nine buildings of four or five stories, with a depth of from 
60 to 100 feet each, and most extensive steam power are em- 
braced. Mr. Babbitt laid the ground work of this immense 
business some twenty years ago, making a very humble start 
in a single store. With untiring ctiort," enterprise', and p i-r- 
sonal supervision, in twenty-three years ho has become one 
of the millionaires of New York. He is still an active and 
hard working man. The manufacture of soap — au article 
so necessary— is alwavs profitable. Soaps of all kinds find a 
ready market everywhere, and though millions of pounds 
arc poured out of the immense boilers daily, it is soon con- 
sumed. This mammoth house gives constant employment to 
over 200 persons, and huge engines with thousands of pounds 
of steam keep its machinery in motion. Steam is conduct* d 
through the entire block by pipes, some of which cross the 
street and supply power to two buildings on the opposite 
side. A boiler which is said to be the largest in the world, 
and which rises from the cround floor to the nttli storj of 
one of the buildings, it is said will make at one time nearly 
200 tons nf the be?t soap, which at the presont prices w< l 
bring $52,000. Here issoap forthemillfon in one turn of this 
monster pot. The grease, etc., is melted by the agency of 
pipes filled with steam, which run throughout the base and 
sides of the boiler. 
Mr. Babbitt is an extensive manufacturer of saleratna, of 
which from tlfteen to eighteen tons are turned out daily. In 
addition to this, another article universally used— the STAR 
Yeast Powpek— Is said to possess superior qualities, ad 
twenty pounds and more to a barrel of flour when made Into 
bread. Mr. Babbitt believes that bread made with this Yeast 
Powder will prevent indigestion and dyspepsia. 
We arc pleased to see that his custom is widespread in all 
parts of this country, and wc are Informed that he has up- 
ward of 10,000 regular customers in the United State- i n i 
foreign countries, which we do not doubt, Beelng the number 
of wagons, drays and carts, continually loading and unload- 
ing, and the Immense piles of boxes, both inside and outside 
of the buildings, labeled Soap, Salerntus, Yeast Powder, Sal 
Soda. Soap Powder, Super Carbonate of Soda, and Concen- 
trated Potash, all of which articles are manufactured by 
him. "Willi a man of his enercrvand enterprising spirit, tl
