MEDALS OF MERIT This is double victoJ.
and the highest award which it was in tho
power OF the Centennial authorities to bestow.
No other sewing Machine received such
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
1867, Wheeler & Wilson lead the list After
careful, rigorous, and exhaustive examlna-
tion the Judges unanimously decided that the
superior excellence OF these machines de-
served more than one medal or diploma, and
consequently, they recommended TWO on

These New Machines embrace the element
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 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.
l. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieteI
and more rapid and certain in action than the
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces more
| regular and even stitch, and does far moro
work with less fatigue Of the operator.
2. The Rotary Hook system is more durable
aud wears far less than the shuttle system so
that the saving in time and repairssoon eqGal
the price Of the machine. .s
8. The simple automatic under tension, or

be done with no shuttle machine.
4. The independent take-up, which draws uF
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 so large thread that the
needle hole is entirely filed, making a irmeK
and more beautiful stitch and q water tight
seam in water. proof gools and as the stitch
is drawn up, when the feed is not acting, tlls
material is not d" puckered," point of especial
Importance in braiding, binding and general
sewing, etc., the rolling eyelet prevents thu
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 ad-
justed, the seam with any length Of stitch
passes from the thinnest to the thickest mate
rials, or vice versa, without variation.
5. 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 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 Ia
. far greater than with any other, being on any
material from the lightest gauze to the heav-
lest leather, with silk, linen Or cotton thread
r. 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
: chimes of the world.
USES OF THE MACHINES .--Everv
. kind of stitching, from that required in the
: heaviest manufacturing to the lightest and
most delicate possible, may be done to pei fec
ton with the No. Machine; but as there arc
certain purposes to which the No. and the
No. are more especially suited by reason oi
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. NTACHINE-Boot.
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.
FOE THE NO. GACHINE-Taifor-
+; ing of all kinds, suit making, cloaks, gloves
I blankets, dash boards, curtains and every
a 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
I Innings, hosiery, umbrellas, collars and cuffs,
s 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.
