power Of the Centennial authorities to bestow.
No other sewing Machine received such =
recognition. More than thirty Of the best pros
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 Il Wilson lead the list. After
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, ana
consequently, they recommended TWO or
EACH. The Centennial Commission unant-
mous;y ratified the action of the judges, and
the public will indorse the decision Of thesd
ablest of mechanical experts. A claim Of
equally dis tinguished 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.

Leather Stitching"
These New Machines embrace the elements
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 Machines
over other Lock stitch Machines are very nu-
merous and important.
/. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieteK
and more rapid and certain in action than the
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces mora
regular and even stitch, and does far mOu
work with less fatigue of the operator.
Q. The Rotary Hook system is more durabA
and wears far less than the shuttle system, so
that the saving in time and repairs soon equal4
the price Of the machine
8. The simple automatic under tension, or
camping of the lower thread while the "take-
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate the
lock of the two threads while the machine ID
In motion, by simply moving lever, as can
be done with no shuttle machine.
L. The independent take up, which draws u
the thread when the needle is out Of the mate
rial, prevents the chafng of the thread be-
tween the needle and the material, and per-
mits the use Of 80 large thread that the
needle hole is entirely filed, making firmer
and more beautiful stitch and water-tight
| seam in water proof gooIs, and as the stitch
is drawn up, when the feed is not acting, the
material is not puckered," a point of especial
Importance in braiding, binding and general
sewing, etc.; the rolling eyelet prevents tina
| 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 th.ckest mate
rails, or vice versa, without variation.
5. The needle is set by simply placing it Id

wound and arranged than with the shuttle
machine; the bobbin is not threaded as is tho
shuttle, and being much larger requires filling
less often, and permits the use of a cord In
place of thread, which is important for many
purposes.
6. The range of work with these machines II
far greater than with any other, being on AM
material from the lightest gauzc to the heav.
lest leather. with snk, linen or cotton thread
Z. The parts OF these machines are perfectls
| interchangeable, and their form, distribution
balance and movement, secure not only th.
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 EVER
kind of stitching, from that required in the
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. and tha
No. are more especially suited by reason di
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. MACHINE-Boob
and shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trim
mings, patent leather trimmings for harness.
horse collars, travelling bags, trunk trimmings
canvas bags, pocket books, and heavy leathe,
work generally.
FOR THE NO. Z MACHINE-Tailor

FOR THE NO. MACHINE-TaiIor.
