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 a
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
con sequently, 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
abest 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 8 Wilson" as the
From the Official Report
Awards to wheeler & Wilson.
l. A Medal and Diploma for New Wheeler
w ilson Sewing Machine" for the following
reasons:
s. A Lock.stitch Sewing Machine
unsurpassed i'm the fine workman
ship Of it's parts, and possessing
6i.itY to different classes Of work
both ON cloth and leather, beauty
Of stitch, ease and rap idity of mo-
ton, and completeness of dAs"
pAay."
?. A Medal and Diploma for "The New
Wheeler u Wilson Sewing Machine Tor
Superior quality of work i'm
Leather StltcEing."
These New Machines embrace the elements
Of the original Wheeler & Wilson Machine,
with important additions and variations, and
iiffer 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 tension; an improved form Of
feed, and better distribution Of parts.
The points of superiority of these Machines
over other Loek-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, so
| that the saving in time and repairs soon equals
| the price OF the machine.
3. 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 is
in motion, by simply moving lever, 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 thread that the
needle hole is entirely filed, making tirmcr
and more beautiful stitch and water-tight
seam in water proof gooas, and as the stitch
ID drawn up, when the feed is not acting, the
material is not puckered," a 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-
justed, the seam with any length of stitch
passes from the thinnest to the thickest mate
rails, or vice versa, without variation.
5. The needle is set by simply placing lit nj
position; the under thread 10 much more easily
wound and arranged than with the shuttle
machine; the bobbin is not threaded as is the
shuttle, and being much larger requires filling
less often, and permits the use OF cord in
place of thread, which is important for many
purposes.
6. The range Of work with these machines IL
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
7. The parts Of these machines are perfectly
interchangeable, and their form, distribution
balance and movement, secure not only thu
greatest durability and speed, with the leas
power. but also the greatest ease and CON
venience Of management, and their superior
system, devices, material and workmanshi!
constitute them the elimination OF Sewing
Mechanism and the standard Sewing Ma
chimes Of the world.
USES OF THE MACHINES. Ever
kind OF stitching, from that required in tn
heaviest manufacturing to the lightest an
most delicate possible, may be done to perfec
tion with the No. 8 Machine; but as there ar
certain purposes to which the No. and tn
No. are more especially suited by reason q
: size or form, some Of the various kinds {
, work to which each machine Is particular
adapted may be classified as follows:
FOR THE NO. MACHINE-Boot
and shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trim
| mings, patent leather trimmings for harnes:
horse collars, travelling bags, trunk trimming
canvas bags, pocket books, and heavy leatbe
work generally.
FOR THE NO. T MACHIEE-TaiIol
ing Of all kinds, suit making, cloaks, glove
blankets, dash boards, curtains and ever
kind OF work in heavy fabrics.
g., FOR THE NO. 8 MACHINE-Tailol
ing, all kinds OF linen work, corsets skirts, a
kinds Of ornamental braiding, oyeralls, shC
Innings, hosiery, umbrellas, collars and cuff
shirts. and general domestic work.
I. Either of these Machines is superior to tho
: of any other system for stitching suspender
and all kinds OF rubber and oil cloth goods.
