THE AMERICAN CENTENNIAL,
1876!

VICTORIOUS! p.

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 Philade phia
in 1870, as at Vienna in 1873, and at Paris in
1867, Wheeler q 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-J
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 the,
STANDARD SEWING MACHINE OF THE WORLD. !

2. A Medal and Diploma for "The New
Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine" for
"superior " quality of work in
Leather StltchRing."
These New Machines embrace the elementg
Of the original Wheeler & Wilson Machine,i
with important additions and variations, andI
differ from other lock stitch Machines in haV-;
| ing Rotary Hook and Bobbin in part of theI
| shuttle; an independent take-up; an auto,
matte under-tension; an improved form Of
feed and a better distribution of parts.
The points OF superiority of these Machines
merous and important
/. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieteE
and more rapid and certain in action than tha
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces morg
regular and even stitch, and does far moro
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.
g. The simple automatic under tension, on
clamping of the lower thread while the "take-
up acts, enables the operator to regulate the
lock Of the two threads while the machine isI
in motion, by simply moving lever, as can
be done with no shuttle machine
4. The independent take-up, which draws un-
fho aol yban ,a ia ,tnFtI
rial, prevents the chahng of the thread be-.
tween the needle and the material, and per-
| mits the use OF so large thread that tho
needle hole is entirely filed, making a tirmer
and more beautiful stitch and ater-tighti
| seam in water proof gools, 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 thickest mate
| rials, or vice versa, without variation.
| s. 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 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 lghtest gauze to the heav-
| oil 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. .--Everv
kind Of stitching, from that required in the,
heaviest manufacturing to the hghtest and
most delicate possible, may be done to perfec-
tion with the No. Machine; but as there are
certain purposes to which the No. Z 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. 6 MACHHNE-Boota
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. MACHINE-Taiior-
ing of all kinds, suit making, cleaks, 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 braiding, 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 all kinds OF rubber and oil cloth goods.
