power OF the Centennial authorities to bestow.
No other sewing Machine received such a
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 q
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.
nously ratified the action ofathe judges, and
the public will indorse the decision of these
ablest of mechanical experts. claim OF
equally distinguished honor for any other
sewing machine is only an attempt to hood
wink the people. Read the following, which

These New Machines embrace the elements
of the original Wheeler q Wilson Machine,
with important additions and variations, and
differ from other lock stitch Machines in lIaV-
ing Il 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 na-
merous and important
!. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieter
andmore rapid and certain in action than the
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces morI
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 equals
the price Of the machine.
8. The simple automatic under tension, or

lock Of the two threads while the machine ia

be done with no shuttle machina
