SEWING MACHIN ES.

Again the Wheeler 8 Wilson Sewing Ma
chimes tri umph over the world. The Centen-
NAL Commission have officially announced
the awards, and decreed for the New Wheeler
| n Wilson TWO DIPLOMAS OF HONOR AND TWO
MEDALS OF MERIT. This 10 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 Philade' phia
in 1876, as at Vienna in 1873, and at Paris in
1857, Wheeler & Wilson lead the list After
| careful, rigorous, and exhaustive examina-
| tion, 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-
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.
From the Onacial Report
Awards to Wheeler q Wilson.
/. A Medal and Diploma for " New Wheeler
& Wilson Sewing Machine" for the following
reasons:
"A LOck-sttteh Sewing Machine
unsurpassed i'm the fine workman
ship of its parts, and possessing
sLGay si4isT to- d&fferens classes asses Of a%d Work
bOth ON cloth and leather, beauty
of stitch, ease and rapi dtty of mo-
tiOn, and completeness of dis
play"
2. A Medal and Dtpoma for "The New
| Wheeler Wilson Sewing Machine" for
USupertOr quality of work in
| Leather rStitching." ,F
These New Machines embrace the elements
of the original Wheeler & Wilson Machine,
| with important additions and variations, and
| iffer from other loak stitch Machines in hav-
| .ng q Rotary Hook and Bobbin in part Of the
| shuttle; an independent take-up; an auto
matte under tension; an improved form Of
feed, and a 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 q more
regular and even stitch, and does far more
work with less fatigue Of the operator
The Rotary Hook system is more durable
] tha ian 10
that the saving in time and repairs soon equals
the price of tho machine.
| g. 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 il,
in motion. by simply moving lever, as car
DE done with no shuttle machine.
A. The independent take-up, which draws 7 p
the thread when the needle is out of the mate
rial, prevents the chahng OF the thread be-
tween the needle and the material, and per-
mits the use of 80 large thread that the
needle hole is entirely filed, making a firmer
and more beautiful stitch and ater-tight
seam in water proof goo is, and as the stitch
10 drawn up, when the feed ia not acting, the
material is not " puckered," point Of especial
importance in bralding, 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-
justed, the scam with any length of stitch
passes from the thinnest 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 as is the
shuttle, and being much arger requires filing
less often, and permits the use OF cord in
place of thread, which is important for many
purposes
9. 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. bat also the greatest ease and con-
venience Of management, and their superior
system, devices, material and workmanship
| constitute UneIu Ln0 CultnlndClou Oh Sowing
Mechanism and the standard Sewing Ma
chimes of the world.
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 perfec-
tion with the No. Machine; but as there are
certain purposes to which the No. Z and the
No. 8 are mere 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 Noe 8=FEAeMINE-Boot
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.
