SEWING MACHINES.

VICTORIOUS!

chimes triumph over the word. The Centen-
nial Commission have officially announced
the awards, and decreed for the New Wheeler
& Wilson TWO DIPLOMAS OF HONOR AND TWO
MEDALS OF MERIT. This is 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 1876, as at Vienna in 1873, and at Paris in
1857, Wheeler & 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 modal or diploma, and
consequently, they recommended TWO Oh
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.

These New Machines embrace the elemeuti
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 ertension; an improved form Of
feed and better distribution Of parts.
The points of superiority Of these Machines
over other Lock stitch Machines are very nR.
merous and important.
l. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieteI
and more rapid and certain in action than thu
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces mor
regular and even stitch, and does far more
work with less fatigue Of the operator.
z The Rotary Hook system is more durable
and wears far less than the shuttle system, 80
that the saving in time and repairs soon equall
the price Of the machine.
8. The simple automatic under tension, O,

up" acts, enables the operator to regulate thu
lock Of the two threads while the machine is
In motion, by simply moving a lever, as can
be done with no shuttle machine.
A. 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 per-
mits the use OF SO large thread that the
needle hole is entirely filed, making q tirmer
and more beautiful stitch and water tight

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 and evenness, and the ten-
sion or lock Of the threads being properly ad-
jnsted, the seam with any length of stitch
passes from the thinnest to the thickest mate
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
the Dobbin is not threaded as is the
shuttle, and beng much arger requires filing
less often, and permits the use Of cord in
place of thread, which is important for many
purposes.
Q. The range Of work with these machines is
far greater than with any other, being on any
material from the lghtest gauze to the heav-
lest leather, with silk, linen OF cotton thread.
Z. The parts of these machines are perfectly
and their form, distribution,
balance and movement, secure not only the
greatest durability and speed, with the least

system, devices, material and workmanship

USES OF THE MACHINES EVERY
kind of stitching, from that required in the
heaviest manufacturing to the lightest and
most delicate possible, may be done to pelfec-
lion 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, some Of the various kinds of
work to which each machine is particularly
adapted may be classified as follows:
FOR THE NO. MACHINE4Boots
