IMPORTANT FOR FAMILIES AND SEWING ISTS. FACTS MACHIN- It is admitted that Clothing Manufac turers are the best judges of SEWING MACHINES.



Please Bead Their Opinions, viz., The New Wheeler end Wilson has more than realised our expectations as to speed, durability, and also in Economising Eahor, our work people express a decided pre ference for them on account of the ease with which they are workeC. — Beatii, Schiees, & Co., Clothing Manufacturers, Flinders Lane, West. For Hat Binding and Cap Making the Wheeler and W T ilsou Machines are the best we have in use ; they do more work and require less labor than any others we have tried.—A. Masters & Co., 50, Princess street, Dunedin. We use Wheeler and Wilson Machine and find it superior to any other, both for Economy, Efficiency and Speed, to any other we have tried.— l. and A. Don, Dressmakers, Duncan street, Dunedin. We have had Wheeler and Wilson Machines in use for the last three years ; we find them more suitable than any other machines and very durable.— Yates Sons & Co., Drapers, George street, Dunedin. I have pleasure in stating that the Wheeler and Wilsom.Macbincs have given me entire satisfaction.

Extract fit’Ei the Jury Report on Sewing Machines— “ The Premier Place was awarded to a \N hjjrler and Wilson Macil'NE, 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 new Straight Needle Wheeler and Wislon have no shuttles, they have no cogwheels, they have no heavy gear to tiro and weary the feet. It is evident that the rotary motion of the Wheeler and Wilson has much less 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.
