| power of the Centennial authorities to bestow.
No other sewing Machine received such d
recognition. More than thirty of tho best pros
/ 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
| 1867, Wheeler 6 Wilson lead the list After
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 unaniS
mously 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 tho people. Read the following, which
stamps the New Wheeler & Wilson" as tho
STANDARD SEWING MACHINE OF THE WORLD +

2. A Medal and Diploma for "The New
Wheeler Il Wilson Sewing Machine" for
" "superior quality of work ih
Leather Stitching"
These New Machines embrace the elements
Of the original Wheeler 8 Wilson Machine,
with important additions and variations, and
differ from other lock stitch Machines in hav-
ing Rotary Hook and Bobbin in part of the
shuttle; an independent take-up; an auto
matte der-tcnsion; an improved form of
feed, and better distribution of parts.
The points of superiority Of these Machines
over other Lock stitch Machines are very au-
merous and important.
l. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieteI
and more rapid and certain in action than tho
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces mora
regular and even stitch, and does far mora
work with less fatigue Of the operator.
2. The Rotary Hook system is more 6urabla
and wears far less than the shuttle system, so
that the saving in time and repairs soon equala
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 lever, as can
be done with no shuttle machine.
A. The independent take-up, which draws up
the thrnnI Juho t,a Iln. A..
rial, prevents the chafng of the thread be-
tween tile needle and the material, and per-
mlts the use Of so large a thread that tho
needle hole is entirely filed, max ,ng q trmcr
and more beautiful stitch and u water tight
seam IN water. proof goods, and as the stitch
is drawn up, when the feed is not acting, tho
material is not -" puckered," point of especial
Importance i'll braiding, binding and general
sewing, etc.; the rolling eyelet prevents the
friction of the thread, and allows it to flow
with uniform twist and cvenness, and the ten
sion or lock OF the threads being properly ad-
justed, the seam with any length of stitch
passes from the thinnest to the thckcst mate-
rials, or vice versa, without variation.
8. The needle is set by simply placing 1T nj
position; the under thread is much more easily
machine; the bobbn is not threaded as is tho
shuttle, and beng much larger requires Glling
less often, and permits the use OF cord in
place of thread, which is important for many
purposes.
6. The range of work with these machines ia
far greater than with any other, being on any
material from the lightest gauzc 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, ith the least
power, but also the greatest ease and con-
Venence 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 lightest and
most delicate possible may be done to pei fec
tion with the No. Machine; but as there are
certain purposes to which the No. and the
No. are more especially suited by reason of
size or form, some Of the various kinds Of
work to which each machine is particularly
adapted may be classified as follows: =
FOR THE NO. MACHHNE--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. MACEINE--Tailor
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 braidng 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 llkinds OF rubber and oil cloth goods.
