NAL Commission have officially announced
the awards, and deereed for the New Wheeler
& Wilson TWO DIPLOMAS OF HONOR AND TWO
MEDALS OF MERIT. This is a double victory,
and the highest award which it was in tha
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 Philade phia
in 1876, as at Vienna in 1873, and at Paris in
1867, Wheeler & Wilson lead the list. After
careful, rigorous, and exhaustive examina-
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 OF
EACH. The Centennial Commission unani-
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 the people, Read the following, which,
stamps the "New Wheeler & Wilson" as tina
STANDARD SEWING MACHINE OF TIE WORLD.

q A Medal and Diploma for "The New
Wheeler Il Wilson Sewing Machine" for
Superior quality of work in
Leather Stitching"
These New Machines embrace the elementl
Of the original Wheeler & 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 MachineG
over other Lock-stitch Machines are very n1s
merous and important.
!. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieter
and more rapid and certain in action than the
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces q more
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, Oh
clamping of the lower thread while the " take
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate the
lock Of the two threads while the machine ia
in motion, by simply moving lever, as can
be done with no shuttle machine.
A. The independent take up, which draws UP
the thread when the needle is outof 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 filed, making a hrmer
and more beautiful stitch and a water tight
seam in water proof goo1s, and as the stitch
is drawn up, when the feed is not acting, tha
material is not L" 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
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.
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 bobbin is not threaded as is the
linz
less often, and permits the use OF cordin
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 gauze to the heay-
lest leather, with silk, linen OF cotton thread.
7. 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 Every
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. 6 Machine; but there are
certain purposes to which the No. Z and the
No. are more especially suited by reason o.
sine or form, some Of the various kinds o.
work to which each machine is particularly
adapted may be classified as follows: 4
FOR THE NO. 6 MACMINE-Boot
and shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trim
min gs, patent leather trimmings for harness
horse collars, travelling bags, trunk trimmings
canvas bags, pocket books, and heavy leathe
werk generally. arg-y~ssly7
FOR THE NO. WACHINE-Taiior
ing of all kinds, suit making, cloaks, gloves
blankets, dash boards, curtains and ever!
klnd of work in heavy fabrics.
FOR THE NO. 8 MACHINE-Tailor
] ing, all kinds Of linen work, corsets. skirts al
kinds Of ornamental braiding, overslls, sho,
Innings, hosiery, umbrellas, collars and cuffs
shirts, and general domestic work.
Either of these Machines is superior to thos,
Of any other system for stitching susnenders
