SEWING- M^CHINEB. 
“Woman’s Gkeatest Boon _We would advise a man to 
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 household. AA’e have had several 
different kinds on trial, and after a six year’s service, the 
WHEELER & AVILSON has taken the precedence as the best, 
where all kinds of sewing are to be done in a family.”
