power Of the Centennial authorities to bestowJ
No other sewing Machine received such a
recognition. More than thirty OF the best pro
ducers OF machines in this and other couhtries
entered for competition, and at Phllade phia
in 1870, as at Vienna in 1873, and at Paris in
1867, Wheeler & Wilson lead the list After al
careful, rigorous, and exhaustive examina-s
ton, the Judges unanimously decided that the
superior excellence OF these machines de-t
served more than one medal or diploma, and
| consequently, they recommended TWO OF
| EACH. The Centennial Commission unaniS
| mousy ratified the action of the judges, ana
the public will indorse the decision OF these
ablest of mechanical experts. A claim Oh
equally distinguished honor for any otheH
sewing machine is only an attempt to hood1
wink the people. Read the following, which,

"Superior quality of work in

These New Machines embrace the elementa
of the original Wheeler s. Wilson Machines
with important additions and variations, andl
| differ from other lock stitch Machines in hav-
| ing u Rotary Hook and Bobbin in part of the
shuttle; an independent take-up; an autos
| matte under tension; an improved form OF
feed, and better distribution of parts.
The points Of superiority of these Machines,
over other Lock-stitch Machines are very nus
merous and important.
/. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieteE
and more rapid and certain in action than tho
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces more
| regular and even stitch, and does far mora,
work with less fatigue Of the operator.
2 The Rotary Hook system is more durable.
that the saving in time and repairs soon equals
the price OF the machine. i
| 8. The simple automatic under tension, or
| clamping Of the lower thread while the "take-l
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate tho
lock Of the two threads while the machae fa
in motion, by simply moving lever, as can
| be done with no shuttle machine.
A. The Independent take-up, which draws up
the thread when the needle is out of the mate
rial, prevents the chafng of the thread be~'
tween the needle and the material, and per-
mits the use Of 80 large thread that the
needle holeis entirely filled, making nrmer
and more beautiful stitch and water-tightt
seam in water proof goo1s, and as the stitch !
| is drawn up, when the feed is not acting, the
| material is not " puckered," point of especiall
| 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 evenness, and the ten
sion or lock of the threads being properly ad-
justed, the scam with any length of stitch
passes from the thinnest 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 shuttle
machine; the bobbin is not threaded as is the
shuttle, and being much larger requires filing
less often, and permits the use OF a cord IN
place of thread, which is important for many
purposes. ..., 80

USES OF THE MACHINES Every
kind of stitching, from that required in tho
heaviest manufacturing to the lightest and
most delicate possible, may be done to perfec-9
tion with the No. Machine; but as there are
certain purposes to which the No. and the,
No. are more especially suited by reason d
size or form, some Of the various kinds &
work to which each machine is particularly
adapted may be classified as follows: add
FOR THE mo. 6 NIACHINE-Boot,4
and shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trim
mings, patent leather trimmings for harness.
horse collars, travelling bags, trunk trimmingsi
canvas bags, pocket books, and heavy leathes
work generally.
FOR THE NO. 7 7MACHINE-Tailor-
ing of all kinds, suit making, cloaks, glovesl
blankets, dash boards, curtains and every
kind OF work in heavy fabrics.
FOR THE NO. mACH4NE-Tailor-
ing, all kinds of linen work, corsets skirts, all
kinds of ornamental braiding overalls, shoe
Innings, hosiery, umbrellas, collars and cuffs.f
shirts, and general domesticwork. ~
Either of these Machines is superior to those
of any other system for stitching suspenders,
and all kinds Of rubber and oil cloth goods.
