IMPORTANT FACTS FOR FAMILIES AND SEWING MACHIN ISTS, 3c is admitted that Clothing Manufac turers are the heat judges of SEWING MACHINES. Please Rbad Tbeir Opinions, viz., The New Wheeler and Wilson has more ihan realised our expectations as to speed, durability, and also in Economising Labor, our work people express a decided pre ference for them on account of the ease with which they are workeC,— Beath, Schiess, & Co., Clothing Manufacturers, Flinders Lane, West. For Hat Binding and Cap Making the Wheeler and Wilson 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., 60, 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. — I. 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 R-ons & Co., Drapers, George street, Dunedin. I have pleasure in stating that the Wheeler and Wilson Machines have giv en me entire satisfaction. .1 consider it a better machine for work than any other 1 have tr>ed. — Peter Stewart, Drapei. Great King street, Dunedin. I like the Wheeler and Wilson better than any other machines I have used, it is lighter to work, much faster, and for dressmaking, etc., it cannot be surpassed. M.

MELBOURNE EXHIBITION, iBBj Extract from the Jury Report on Sewing Machines—“ The Premier Place was awarded to a Whbkleh 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 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 Wheeltr anl 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. CAPTION. Beware of Hawkers and also Puffing Advertisements of inferior Hard-running Machines which are highly iniurious to the health of the operator.
