The Wheeler &, Wilson is the
only Sewing Machine that does
no fail in one or more impor
tant points. It forms the stitch
by a revolving hook avoiding
the shocks, noise, waste of
strength, and wear of the for
ward and backward movement
of a shuttle. It is simplest in
construction, easiest to manage
and least liable to get out of
order. As the thread is drawn
up after the needle is out of the
goods, the lock of the two
threads is drawn tf the center
of ihe goods with only the de
sired strain on the thread, mak
ing a seam with .great beauty
and regularity of stitch, that is
elastic, strong and durable.
