Apain the wheeler g. Wilson sewing Ma
chimes tri umph over the world. 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 tobeBtow.
No other sewing Machine received such .
recognition. More than thirty Of the bestlpro-
ducers of machines in this and other countries
entered for competition, and ut Philadelphia
in 1875, as at Vienna in 1878, and at Paris in
1867, Wheeler & Wilson lead the lists After o
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 OF
EACH. The Centennial Commission unRni-
mousiy ratified the action of thejudges, 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.
