SEWING MACHINES.
VICTORIOUS!

Again the Wheeler Il Wilson Sewing Ma
chimes tri umph over the word. The Centen-
NAL Commission have officially announced
the awards, and decreed for the New Wheeler
& Wilson TWO DIPLOMAS or HONOR AND two
MEDALS OF MERIT. This is q double victory,
and the highest award which it was in the
power of the Centennial authorities to bestow.
No other sewing Machine received such q
recognition. More than thirty of the best pro-
ducers of machines in this and other countries
entered for competition, and at Philadelphia
in 1876, as at Vienna in 1873, and at Paris in
1857, Wheeler & Wilson lead the list. After a
careful, rigorous, and exhaustive examina-
ton, the judges unanimously decided that the
superior excellence OF these machines de-
served more than one medal or diploma, and
consequently, they recommended TWO OF
EACH. The Centennial Commission unani-
mous.y ratified the action Of the Judges, and
the public will indorse the decision Of these
ablest OF mechanical experts A claim Of
equally distinguished honor for any other
sewing machine Is only an attempt to hood
wink the people Read the following, which
stamps the New Wheeler &c Wilson" as the
STANDARD SEWING MACHINE OF THE WORLD.

These New Machines embrace the elements
Of the original Wheeler n Wilson Machiac,
With important add tions and variations, and
.iff,r from other lock stitch Machines in hav-
ing Rotary Hook and Bobbin in part OF tho
shuttle; an independent take-up; an auto
matic under tension; an improved form Of
feed, and Il better distribution Of parts
The points OF superiority of these Machines
over other Lock-stitch Machines are very Ru-
merous and important.
/. The Rotary HOOK is far easier, quieter
and more rapid anu certain in action than the
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces more
regular and even stitch, and does far more
work with less fatigue OF the operator.
2 The Rotary Hook system is more durable
and wears far less than the shuttle system, so
that the saving in time and repairs soon cquala
the price of the machine.
g. The simple automatic under tension, or
clamping Of the lower thread while the take
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate the
lock Of the two threads while the machiae is
in motion, by simply moving lever, as can
be done with no shuttle machine.
4 The independent take-up, which draws up
the thread when tne needle is out OF the mate
rial, prevents the chatting of the thread be-
tween the needle and the material, and per-
mits the use OF so large a thread that the
needle hole is entirely flied, making nrmer
and more beauti ul stitch and water-tght
seam in water proof goo's and as the stitch
ls drawn UP, when the feed is not acting, the
material is not " puckered," point OF especial
Importance in braiding, binding and general
sewing, etc., the rolling eyelet prevents the
friction of the thread, and allows it to flow
with uniform twist and evcnuess, and the ten
sion or lock OF the threads being properly ad-
jnsted, the seam with any length Of stitch
passes from the thnnest TO the thickest mate
rials, or vice versa, without variation.
8. The needle is set by simply placing lit nj
position; the under thread is much more easily
wound and arranged than with the shuttles
machine: the bobhin is not threaded as is the
shuttle, and beng much larger requires filing
less often, aud permits the use OF a cord in
place of threat, which is important for many
purposes.
6. The range Of work with these machines is
far greater than with any other, being on any
material from the Gghtast gauge to the heav-
lest leather, with silk. linen or cotton thread.
T. The parts Of these machines are perfectly
interchangeable, and their FORM distribution,
balance and movement, secure not only the
greatest durability and speed, with the least
power. but also the greatest ease and con-
venience Of management, and their superior
system, devices, material and workmanship,
constitute them the elimination OF Sewing
Mechanism and the standard Sewing Ma
chuies Of the world.
