Again the Wheeler & 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 1t was in the
power Of the Centennial authorities to bestow.
No other sewing Machine received such q
recognition. More than thirty of the best pro-
ducers of machines in this and other countries
entered for competition, and at Philade phia
in 1875, as at Vienna in 1878, and at Paris in
1857, Wheeler & Wilson lead the list After O
careful, rigorous, and exhaustive examina-
tiOn, the judges unanimously decided that the
superior excellence OF these machines de-
served more than cne 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 B Wilson" as the
STANDARD SEWING MACHINE OF THE WORLD
