MELBOURNE EXHIBITION, iBBj Extract from the Jury Report on Sewing Machines —“ The Premier Place was awarded to a Wheeler and Wilson Machine, which performed the feat of sewing together all the parts of a pair of moleskin trousers in nine (9) minutes, doing its work smoothly and well.” ONLY GRAND GOLD PRIZE, PARIS EXHIBITION, 1878. BEATING ALL COMPETITORS. The now Straight Needle Wheeler and Wislon have no shuttles, they have no cogwheels, they have no heavy gear to tire and weary the feet. It is evident that the rotary motion of the Wheeler and Wilson has much loss friction than the shuttle movement of other machines, therefore the Wheeler and Wilson is much more durable, and needs less repair. The New Wheeler and Wilson has more and greater improvements than any other sewing machine, and is the fastest, making over 1,000 stitches per minute. CAUTION. Beware of Hawkers and also Puffing Advertisements of inferior Hard-running Machines which are highly injurious to the health of the operator. Inspect the New Wheeler and Wilson ROTARY ACTION MACHINES And judge for yourselves. They run by hand and foot, and are warranted to give entire satisfaction. TIME PAYMENTS. TIME PAYMENTS.

Although this office has been in exis tence for a period of more than seven years, it is believed that the objects for which it was established are not sufficiently . understood. It is desired to sat forth in a concise form information respecting tha business which this office undertakes : ■ 1. The charge of all kinds of money trusts, such as Marriage Settlements, moneys to be invested for the benefit of Minors, moneys bequeathed for charitable objects, moneys the title to which is in dispute, or whose legal owner is unknown or cannot be found, &c., &c. 2. The administration of the wills o parsons who by appointing the Public - Trustee as their executor secure the guarantee of the State for tho due fulfil ment of their wishes, and to avoid tho risk consequent on tho appointment f ’ private persons as executors, who not un freqnantly, though earnestly desirous of' acting for the benefit of parties interested, fail to carry out legally the objects for V which they were appointed, and conse quently involve themselves and those whose interests they are striving to pro- ■; tect in costly and harassing litigation. 3. The administration of all estates of which no disposition has been made by will, whenever relatives do not wish to in- - cur the responsibility of administration, or cannot from any cause obtain the neces sary powers to act. In such cases it is the ! duty of the Public Trustee to discharge all leg** debts so far as the assets extend, and d; > d 3 the residue amongst tho next of kin, 4. The administration of the estates o lunatics, lunatic patients, and convicts. 5. Tho charge of all lands lying waste and unoccupied of which the owner is un known, or who has been absent from the colony for ten years, having left n known agent. The cost of administering estates is ver small. Information may be obtained fro all agents. R. 0. HAMERTON, 29a Public Trustee - ' CASH RECEIPTS Printed at “The Guardian office.
