MELBOURNE EXHIBITION, 1881 Extract fn.in the Jury Report cm Sewing Machines—“ The Premier Place was awarded to a V* hnklku and Wilson Macii nk, which performed the feat of sowing 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 tire and weary the feet. It is evident that the rotary motion of the Wheeler and Wilson has pnuch less friction than the shuttle movement of other machines, therefore the Wheeler and Wilson is much more durable, and needs less repair. The New WTiceler and Wilson has more and greater improvements than any other sewing machine, and is the fastest, making over 1,000 stitches per minute. I 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 arc warranted to give entire satisfaction. TIME PAYMENTS. TIME PAYMENTS.
