SEWING MACHINES.

VICTORIOUS!
Again the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Ma
chimes tri umph over the world. The Centen-
NAL Commission have officially announced
the awards, and decreed for the New Wheeler
& Wilson TWO DIPLOMAS OF HONOR AND TWO
MEDALS OF MERIT. This is a double victory,
and the highest award which it was in the
power of the Centennial authorities to bestow.
No other sewing Machine received such @
recognition. More than thirty Of the best pro-
ducers of machines in this and other countries
entered for competition, and at Philadelphia
in 1875, as at Vienna in 1873, and at Paris in
1867, Wheeler & Wilson lead the list. After q
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 OF
EACH. The Centennial Commission unani-
mousIy 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.

Awards to Wheeler & Wilson.
/. A Medal and Diploma for New Wheeler
& Wilson Sewing Machine" for the following
reasons:

unsurpassed i'm the fine Workman
great originality, great adapta-
both ON cloth and leather, beauty
of stitch, ease and rapidity OF mo-
tiOn, and cOmpleteMeEs of dis

2. A Medal and Diploma for "The New
Wheeler Wilson Sewing Machine" for
"Superior quality of work in
Leather StitchinK."
These New Machines embrace the elements
Of the original Wheeler & Wilson Machine,
With important add tions and variations, and
iffcr 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 r-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, 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 durable
and wears far less than the shuttle system, 80
that the saving in time and repairs soon equals
the price Of the machine.
8. The simple automatic under tension, or
clamplng 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 a levor, as can
be done with no shuttle machine.
4. The independent take-up, which draws UP
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 30 large q thread that the
needle ho.eis entirely filed, making trmer
and more beautiful stitch and water light
seam in water proof goo ls, and as the stitch
Is drawn up, when the feed Is not acting, the
material is not &" puckered," point Of especia!
| Importance i'll braiding, binding and general
sewing, etc.; the rolling eyelct prevents the
| friction of the thread, and allows it to flow
| with uniform twist and eyenness, and the ten
Sion or lock OF the threads being properly ad-
justed, the seam with any length of stitch
passes from the thinHtst to the thckest 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 isis the
| shuttle, and beng much targer 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 ID
| far greater than with any other, being on any
material from the lIghtest gauze to the heaV-
lest lea ther. with silk, linen or cotton thread
| T. The parts OF these machines are perfectly
interchang 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 superior
system, devices, material and workmanship
constitute them the elimination of Sewing
