THE SILENT SEWING MACHINE!
AS A FAMILY ASSISTANT,
The Will cox & Wibbs Sewing Machine!
Will bo found to excel all others. The ease with which it runs, its ready adaptation to all
kinds of work without delay or hesitation, its quiet fidelity, its
Superior Strength and Durability of Work,
are points that astonish nml delight all who make its acquaintance. Ladies who are unfa
miliar with this Machine, do not yet know the full blessing and comfort of a Sewing Ma
chine in the family, though they may possess many others and think they are satisfied.
In proof of this assertion is the significant fact,
lhat its strongest advocates and most enthusiastic admirers arc always found among
those who have used and are most familiar tcilh other leculing machines.
From the thousands of testimonials from all parts of the country, we select the following
from the city of Augusta :
AUGUSTA, March, 1870.
Having used the Willoox & Oibbs Sewing Machine in our respective families upon
all the various kinds of work required, some of us from ono to six years, others for
a shorter time, some of us also being familiar with the use of other leading machines,
we cheerfully recommend it as a must excellent family machine. It runs easily and
quietly, is simple and easy in its management, duos not get out of order, is always
ready, its work is strong and durable, aud m ail respects gives most entire satisfaction
