Glediiill, Agent for New Plymouth. WH XK LER and WILSON'S LOCK- STITCH SEWING MACHINES, for families and manufacturers, are vastly superior to all others. As evidence of the fact, they were awarded the prize gold medal at the Great Exhibition, 1862, and at the Paris Exhibition, 1861. These machines make the tight lock-siitch — the only one which cannot be ravelled— with I the rotating hook — a great improvement on the shuttle, as it is far more durable, and not near so liable to get out of order. Wheeler and Wilson's machines work equally well upon silk, cotton, woolitn, and linen goods, braiding, binding, cord- ing, tucking, hemming, filling, gathering, seaming, quilting, performing every species of sewing with a speed of from 1,000 to 12,000 stitches per minute ; makes a re- gular, strong, and beautiful stitch, exactly the same on both sides of the fabric sewed ; is simple in construction, easy of manage • ment, and elegant in appearance. At the present REDUCED PRICES there is no excuse for having shuttle machines. Re- ference given to dressmakers, tailors, and manufacturers of clothing who have had the machines in constant use for years. Illustrated circulars sent post free. Nath.
