MESSRS. R. M. WANZER & CO. have recently brought out and perfected three distinct Sewing Machines, the Wanzer D, Wanzer E and Wanzer F.
These Machines have a range of work from the most delicate muslin to the thickest and heaviest cloths and leather. It has been the object of the manufacturers to place before the public Machines simple in construction, easy to run, noiseless, durable, easily managed and easily kept in order; to have a large steel shuttle holding more thread than those generally in use, and an appliance for spooling the bobbin without running the Machine; to be able to lengthen or shorten the stitch without interfering with the work or stopping the Machine; to be able to sew backward as well as forward while the Machine is in motion; to be able to sew light goods as well as heavy; to be able to sew all kinds of goods with all kinds of threads; to enable the operator to fasten the threads at the beginning and ending of seams; also, to strengthen any part where it may be desired, by sewing backwards and forwards over it without stopping the Machine; to have the stitches when sewing backwards the same as when sewing forwards. All this they have accomplished in the most satisfactory manner.
They have adapted the reverse motion solely to the Wanzer F Machine, which is the only Machine in the market that has this great advantage. They now manufacture five distinct Machines, from which the public can select one to do the work for which it may be required.
The Little Wanzer and Wanzer A can be worked by either hand or foot. The Wanzer D, E and F are purely Treadle Machines. Each of the above Machines will be noticed in its proper place in the catalogue.
Messrs. Wanzer & Co. have recently added to their already extensive establishment a large FOUNDRY for their castings, which enables them to turn out their Machines in the most perfect manner. Their instruction books are printed in 32 different languages. Their Machines are now used in all parts of the civilized globe. They have been introduced into the schools of Austria. The Board of National Education for Ireland has pronounced the "Wanzer" the best Sewing Machines, and has selected them to be used in their 7,000 schools throughout Ireland. The Church Education Society for Ireland has also adopted the Wanzer Machines to be used in their Educational Establishments and Schools.
The honors and testimonials the Wanzer Machines have received are too numerous to mention. A few of them will be found on the following pages.
