THE SONG OF THE "No. 9."
My dress is of fine polished oak,
As rich as the finest fur cloak,
And for handsome design
You just should see mine--
No. 9, No. 9.
I'm beloved by the poor and the rich,
For both I impartially stitch;
In the cabin I shine,
In the mansion I'm fine--
No. 9, No. 9.
I never get surly nor tired,
With zeal I always am fired;
To hard work I incline,
For rest I ne'er pine--
No. 9, No. 9.
I am easily purchased by all,
With installments that monthly do fall,
And when I am thine,
Then life is benign--
No. 9, No. 9.
To the Paris Exposition I went,
Upon getting the Grand Prize intent;
I left all behind,
The Grand Prize was mine--
No. 9, No. 9.
At the Universal Exposition of 1889, at Paris, France, the best sewing
machines of the world, including those of America, were in competition.
They were passed upon by a jury composed of the best foreign mechanical
experts, two of whom were the leading sewing machine manufacturers of
France. This jury, after exhaustive examination and tests, adjudged
that the Wheeler & Wilson machines were the best of all, and awarded
the company the highest prize offered--the GRAND PRIZE--giving other
companies only gold, silver, and bronze medals.
The French government, as a further recognition of superiority,
decorated Mr. Nathaniel Wheeler, president of the company, with the
Cross of the Legion of Honor--the most prized honor of France.
The No. 9, for family use, and the No. 12, for manufacturing uses, are
the best in the world to-day.
And now, when you want a sewing machine, if you do not get the best it
will be your own fault.
Ask your sewing machine dealer for the No. 9 Wheeler & Wilson machine.
If he doesn't keep them, write to us for descriptive catalogue and
terms. Agents wanted in all unoccupied territory.
