chlneS trl umpn over che word. The Cent6n4
NAL Commission have officially announced
the awards, and decreed for the New Wheeler
8 Wilson TWO DIPLOMAS OF HONOR AND Twd
MEDALS OF MERIT. This is q double victory,
and the highest award which it was in th(
power Of the Centennial authorities to bestow1
No other sewing Machine received such q
recognition. More than thirty Of the best proc
ducers OF machines in this and other countrieG
entered for competition, and at Philadelphia
in 1876, as at Vienna in 1873, and at Paris is
1867 Wheeler Il Wilson lead the list. After q
careful, rigorous, and exhaustive examina1
ton, the judges unanimously decided that tht
superior excellence OF these machines de
| served more than one medal or diploma, ant
consequently, they recommended TWO OF
EACH. The Centennial Commission unani
mOusiy ratified the action of the judges, ant
the public will indorse the decision Of thest
ablest of mechanical experts. A claim Of
equally distinguished honor for any other
sewing machine is only an attempt to hoods
wink the people. Read the following, which
stamps the New Wheeler Wilson" as the
| STANDARD SEWING MACHINE OF THE WORLD.

Awards to Wheeler & Wilson.
/. A Medal and Diploma for '' New Wheele1
& Wilson Sewing Machine" for the following
reasons:
EEA LOck-stitch Sewing Machine

?. A Medal and Diploma for "The New
Wheeler Wilson Sewing Machine" for
"SuperiOr quality of work In
Leather StitChingS"
These New Machines embrace the elements
II the original Wheeler & Wilson Machine,
With important add itions and variations, and
iffer from other lock stitch Machines in hav.
ing II Rotary Hook and Bobbin in part of tina
shuttle; an independent take-up; an auto
matte under r-tension; an improved form Of
feed, and better distribution of parts.
The points of superiority of these Machines
over other Lock k-stitch Machines are very nus
merous and important.
/. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quietel
and more rapid and certain in action than thu
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces 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 equalt
the price of the machine.
8. The simple automatic under tension. on,
clamping of, the lower thread while the take.
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate the
iock OF the two threads while the machine is
In motion, by simply moving a lever, as can
Dc done with no shuttle machine
A. The independent take up, which draws mn
the thread when the needle is out of the mate
rial, prevents the cha1ng of the thread bs-
tween the needle and the material, and per-
mits the use OF so large thread that the
needle hole entirely filed, making fIrmer
and more beautiful stitch and q water tight
seam in water proof goo IS, and as the stitch
is drawn up, when the feed is not acting, the
material is not puckered," point of especial
Importance i'll braiding, binding and general
sewing, etc.; the rolling eyelct prevents tho
friction Of the thread, and allows it to aow
with uniform twist and evenness, and the ten
sion or lock OF the threads being properly ad-
justed, the scam with any length Of stitch
passes from tho thinnest to the thickest matte
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 being much larger requires filling
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 ID
far greater than with any other, being on any
from the lIghtest gasize to the heav-
lest leather. with silk, linen or cotton thread.
I. The parts OF these machines are perfectly
geable, 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 superioF
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 tho
heaviest manufacturing to the lightest 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, come OF the various kinds Of
work to which each machine is particularly
adapted may be classified as follows:
FOR THE NO. 9 EEACHINE-Boot
and shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trims
mings, patent leather trimmings for harness,
horse collars, travelling bags, trunk trimmings,
canvas bags. pocket books, and heavy leather
work generally.
FGn THE NO. Z MACHlNE--Taiior-
ing Of all kinds, suit making, cloaks gloves
blankets, dash boards, curtains and every
kind OF work in heavy fabrics. d
FOR THE NO. 8 uACHINE-Tailor-
ing, all kinds OF linen work, corsets. skirts, all
kinds Of ornamental braiding. oyeralls, shoe
