MELBOURNE EXHIBITION, 1881 Extract fioui tlie Jury Report on Seffin" Machines—“ The Premier Place was an aided lo a W heelkii and "Wilson Machine, which peiformed the feat of sewing together all the paits 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 lire and weary the feet. It is evident that the rotary motion of the W'heeler ami W’ilson 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 W’heeler and Wilson has more and greater improvement 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.
