The Absolute Test ot Excellence.—The truest 
test of excellence in a sewing machine is, after 
nil, the record of its sales. The manufacture of 
the Wilson Improved Underfeed Machine em¬ 
ploys an immense manufactory and nearly five 
hundred skilled workmen. The machines are 
turned out at the rate of from eighteen hundred 
to two thousand per week, and are sold faster 
than they can be made. The factory is pushed 
from day to day with orders. There is nothing 
strange in all this when we consider that it is 
u first-class, perfect machine, capable of any 
class of work, good for twenty years' constant, 
service, and costing $15 loss than the other 
first-class machines. Salesroom at 707 Broad¬
