recognition. More than thirty of the best pros
ducers of machines in this and other countries
entered for competition, and at Philade phlai
in 1875, as at Vienna in 1878, and at Paris in
1867, Wheeler & Wilson lead the list. After q
careful, rigorous, and exhaustive examina-ll
ton, the judges unanimously decided that the,
superior excellence OF these machines de-
served more than one medal or diploma, anu
consequently, they recommended TWO OF
EACH. The Centennial Commission unani-
mousy ratified the action Of the judges, and
the public will indorse the decision OF bhese
ablest of mechanical experts. A claim or
equally distinguished honor for any otheri
sewing machine is only an attempt to hood
wink the people. Read the following, which
stamps the New Wheeler & Wilson" as tho
STANDARD SEWING MACHINE OF THE WORLD. J
From the Official Report

These New Machines embrace the elementSi
If the original Wheeler Il Wilson Machine,
with important add tions and variations, and
Jiffer from other lock stitch Machines in hav-
ing Rotary Hook and Bobbin in part of tho
shuttle; an independent take-up; an auto
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 nu-
merous and important.
/. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieteE
and more rapid and certain in action than tho
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces moro
regular and even stitch, and does far mord
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 equals
the price Of the machine.
8. The simple automatic under tension, or
| clamping of the lower thread while the "take-
| up" acts, enables the operator to regulate tho
! lock Of the two threads while the machine is
in motion, by simply moving a lever, as can
| he done with no shuttle machine.
| 4. The independent take-up, which draws up
| the thread when the needle is out Of the mate
rial, prevents the cha6ng Of the thread be-
| tween the needle and the material, and per-
| mits the use OF SO large thread that the
needle hole is entirely filled, making lrmer
| and more beautiful stitch and water-tight
| seam in water proof goo IS, and as the stitch
is drawn up, when the feed is not acting, tho
material is not " puckered," apoint of especial
| importance in braiding, binding and general
sewing, ETC.; the rolling eYclet prevents tho
| friction Of the thread, and allows it to flow
| with uniform twist and evcnness, and the ten
sion or lock OF the threads being properly adj
| justed, the seam with any length of stitch
passes from the thinnest to the thickest mate
rials, or vice versa, without variation.
g. The needle is set by simply placing lit nj

machine; the bobbin is not threaded as is the
shuttle, and beng much larger requires filing
less often, and permits the use OF cord in
place of thread, which is important for many
purposes.
G. The range of work with these machines Is
far greater than with any other, being on any
material from the lightest gauze to the heav-
| in Lon Julth silk Iinpn NJ p0ttOn thrnQ1
Z. The parts OF these machines are perfectly
| interchangeable, and their iorm 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
| chimes of the world.
USES OF THE MACHINES Every
kind Of stitching, from that required in the
heaviest manufacturing to the Iightest and
most delicate possible, may be done to perfec-
tion with the No. Machine; but as there are
certain purposes to which the No. Z and the
No. are more especially suited by reason of
size or form, some of the various kinds Of
work to which each machine ts particularly
adapted may be classified as follows:
FOR THE NO. MACHGNE-Boots
and shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trim
mings, patent leather trimmings for harness,
horse collars, travelling bags, trunk trimmings,
canvas bags, pocket books, and heavy leather
work generally.
FOR THE NO. Z 7NIACHINE-Taiior
ing of all kinds, suit making, cloaks, gloves.
blankets, dash boards, curtains and every
kind OF work in heavy fabrics.
FOR THE NO. MACHINE-Tailor-
ing, all kinds of linen work, corsets, skirts all
kinds Of ornamental braiding, overalls, shoe
Innings, hosiery, umbrellas, collars and cuffs.
shirts, and general domestic work.
Either Of these Machines is superior to those
Of any other system for stitching suspenders,
and all kinds Of rubber and oil cloth goods.
