MELBOURNE EXHIBITION, 1881 Extract frc.jii the Juiy Report on Sewing Machines— “ The Premier Place was aw aided to a V\ hkulek and Wilson Macii.nk, which pel formed the feat of sewing together all the paits of a pair of moleshin trousers in nine (9) minutes, doing its work smoothly and well.” ONLY GRAND GOI.D 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 tire 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.
