4 Wilson TWO DIPLOMAS OF HONOR AND TWO
MEDALS OF MERIT. This is q double victory,
and the highest award which it was in tha
| power OF the Centennial authorities TO bGstoW.
| No other sewing Machine received such
| recognition. More than thirty Of the bes5 pro-
ducers Of machines in this aud other countries
| entered for competition, and at Philade phia
in 1876, as at Vienna in 1873 and at Paris in
1897 Wheeler & Wilson lead the list. After a
| 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 on
EACH The Centennial Commission unsui-
| nous ratified the action Of the judges, and
| The public viii indorae the decision of thesa
abest Of mechanical experts. A claim of
| equally distinguished honor for any other
| sowing machine ls only an attempt to hood
wink the people. Read the following, which
stamps the New Wheeler & Wilson" as ths
STANDARD SEWING MACHINE OF THE WORLD.

1. A Medal and Diploma for New Wheeier
g. Wilson Sewing Machine," for the following
reasons:
HA Lock-stitch Sewing Machine

2. A Medal and Diploma for "The New
Azln Ont4ytI, AIun nina fnH
"supertor quality of work in
Leather Stitching"
These New Machines embrace the clements
Of the original Wheeler u Wilson Machiae,
With important addt and variations, and
iAter from other lock stitch Machines in hav-
ing Rotary Hook and Bobbin in part OF ths
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-sttch Machines are very nu-
merous and important
/. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quietcr
and more rapid and certain in action than tba
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces more
regular and even stitch, and does far moro
work with less fatigue OF the operator.
2. The Rotary Hook system is more durabls
and wears far less than the shuttle system, so
that the saving in time and repairs soon eQual6
the price Of tho machine.
8. The simple automatic under tension, or
clamping of the lower thread while the take.
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate tho
lock Of the two threads while the machine ia
in motion, by simply moving a lever, as CAN
DO done with no shuttle machine.
4. The independent take-up, which draws I'm
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 psr-
mits the use of 30 large thread that ths
needle hole is entirely filed, making nrmer
and more beautiful stitch and a water-tighk
scam in water proof goo Is, and rs tho stitch
is drawn up, when the feed ia not acting, tbs
material is not " puckered," a point Of especial
Importance in bIaiding, binding and general
sewing, ETC.; the rolling eyelet prevents tho
friction Of the thread, and allows it to now
with uniform twist and cvenness, and the tena
sion or lock OF the threads being properly adj
justed, the seam with any length of stitcb
passes from the thinncst to the thickcst mats-
Gials, or vice versa. without variation.
8. The needle is set by simply placing lit nf
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 arger requires flIing
less often, and permits the use OF y cord in
place Of thread, which is Important for malY
purposes
6. The range of work with these machines lG
far greater than with any ether, being on any
material from the llghtest gauze to the heav-,
lest leather. with silk, linen or 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 supsriot
system, devices, material and workmanship
constitute them the elimination of Sewing
Mechanism and the standard Sewing Ma
chires Of the world.
USES OF THE MACWENES.-E
kind Of stitching, from that required in ths
heaviest manufacturing to the lightest and
most delicate possible, may be done 10 perfac-
lion with the No. G Machine; but as there ara
| certain purposes to which the No. 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. 8 NEACRENE-Boots
and shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trim
mings, patent leather trimmings for harness.
horse collars, travelling bags, trunk trimmingSs
canvas bags poCke books, and heavy leabheE
work generally.
FOR THE NO. MACHINE--TaiIor
ing Of all kinds, suit making, cloaks, gloves.
blankets, dash boards, cur; aims aud every
kind Of work in heavy fabrics.
FOR THE NO. 8 MACHHNE-TafIor-
ing, all kinds OF linen work, corsets, skirts. all
kinds OF orn mental braiding, oYeralls, shoe
Innings, hosiery, umbrellas, collars and cuGs.
shirts, and general domestic work.
Either of these Machines is superior to thoss
OF any other system for stitching suspenderss
and all kinds OF rubber aud oil cloth goods.
