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 1878, and at Paris in
1857, Wheeler Il wilson lead the list. After o
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 unanl-
nous!y ratified the action of the judges, and
the public will indorse the decision OF these
abIest OF mechanical experts. A claim o.
equally distinguished honor for any otter
sewing machine is only an attempt to hood
wink the people. Read the following, wnleh

These New Machines embrace the elements
Of the original Wheeler So Wilson Machine,
with important additions and variations, and
liff3r 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, queter
and more rapid and certain in action than the
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces moro
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, 80
that the saving in time and repairs soon equala
the price Of the machine.
| 3. The simple automatic under tension, Or
clamping Of the lower thread while the take
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate the
sock of the two threads while the machine is
in motion, by simply moving lever, as can
De 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 channg 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 flied, making a firmer
and more beautiful stitch and water tight
| 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 especial
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 seam with any length Of stitch
passes from the thinnest to the thiekest 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 bobbn is not threaded as is the
shuttle, and beng much larger requires filing
| less often, and permits the use Of q cord in
place of thread, which is important for many
purposes.
6. 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-
lest leather, with silk, linen or cotton thread.
| Z. 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 oon-
yenience 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 .--Eyerv
kind OF stitching, from that required in the
heaviest manufacturing to the lightest and
most delicate possible, may be done to pelfec-
tion with the No. Machine; but as there are
certain purposes to which the No. and the
No. 8 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. 8 MACHINE-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 7NIACEHINE-Tahor
ing Of all kinds, suit making, cloaks, gloves,
blankets, dash boards. curtains and every
kind OF work in heavy fabrics.
FOR THE NO. IACHINE-Tailor-
ing, all kinds Of linen work. corsets. skirts, all
kieds of ornamental braiding, oyeralls, shoe
Innings, hosiery, umbrellas, collars and cuffs,
shirts, and general domestic work.
Either of these Machines Is superior to those
I of any other system for stitching suspenders.
1 and all kinds Of rubber and oil cloth goods.
