Please Read Their Opinions, viz., The New Wheeler and Wilson has more than 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 irequire less labor than any others we hf.ve tried.—A. Mastees & 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.

jrpHE FUTURE OF NEW ZEALAN D. Aa the future prosperity of these sunny isles depends in a great measure on the support which is given to colonial manu factures, A. Craighead & Co., MERCHANT TAILORS, Tancred street, Have determined to encourage the manufacture of Colonial Tweeds as much as the requirements of their business will permit. By following this course they will be enabled not only to foster the growth and development of the internal resources of New Zealand, but will also be enabled to offer to their friends, patrons, and the general public a very SUPERIOR ARTICLE AT A MODERATE PRICE. To carry this idea to a practical issue they have just been favored wich a large consignment of the CELEBRATED KAIAPOI TWEEDS, Manufactured to their special order for the coming season. As these Tweeds are equal, and in some respects superior, to anything of the same class that can be imported, they feel confident that, by strict attention to business, and by the exercise of their usual care in cutting and fitting, they will continue to give that satisfaction which their rapidly increasing business warrants them in believing they have given in the past. PERFECT FIT GUARANTEED. A. i CRAIGHEAD AND CO. 716 a



MELBOURNE EXHIBITION, 1881 Extract from the Jury Report on Sewii'ig Machines —“ The Premier Place was aiwarded to a Wheelek and Wilson Machine, which performed the feat of sewing together all the. parts of a pair of moles doing ONI B 1 kin trousers in nine (9) minutes, its work smoothly and well. ” ,Y GRAND GOLD PRIZE, PARIS EXHIBITION, 1878. IATING 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. Beware of Hawkers and also Puffing Advertisements of inferior Hard-running Machines which are highly injurious to the health of the operator.
