| careful, rigorous, and exhaustive eXamina-
| ton, the judges unanimously decided that tho
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 the
STANDARD SEWING MACHINE OF THE WORLD.

reasons:
50 A Lock- stitch Sewing Machine
unsurpassed i'm the fine W@rkMnaua

Si.isy TO different Glasses Of RSI Worii
both ON cloth and leathers beaULy

2. A Medal and Diploma for "The New
Wheeler " Wilson Sewing Machine" for
" superior quality of work in
Leather StltchtAH."
These new Machines embrace the elements
Of the original Wheeler u Wilson Machine,
with important additions and variations and
lifer from other lock stitch Machines in haV-
ing u Rotary Hook and Bobbin in part of the
shuttle; an independent take-up; an auto
m III INN fnp 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.
l. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieter
and more rapid and certain in action than the
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 6urable
| 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, or
! clamping Of the lower thread while the "take-
up " acts, enables the operator to regulate the
| lock of the two threads while the machine is
| in motion, by simply moving lever, as can
be done with no shuttle machine.
4. The independent take-up, which draws IN
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 so large thread that the
needle hole is entirely flled, making hrmer
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," 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 an01venness, and the ten
sion or lock of the threads beilis srene11y ad-
justed, the seam with any length of sgitrh
passes from the thinnest to the thickest mate
rials, or vice versa, without variation.
8. The needle is set by simply placing tit 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 a 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 lightest gauze to the heav-
lest leather, with silk, linen or cotton thread.
Z. 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.

USES OE THE MACHINES. EVERY
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. 6 Machine; but as there are
certain purposes to which the No. z and the
No. s 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 TEE NO. @ RIACEzENE-Boots
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. MACHHNE-Tailor-
ing of all kinds, suit making, cloaks, gloves,
blankets. dash boards, curtains and every
kind of work in heavy fabrics.
FOR THE No. 8 MACEKINE--Tailor-
ing, all kinds of linen work, corsets. skirts, all
kinds of ornamental brsiding, overalls, shoe
Innings. hosiery, umbrellas, collars and cuffs,
shirts, and generei domestic work.
Either of these Machines is superior to those
of any other system for stitching snspenders,
and all kinds of rubber and Oil cloth goods.
