~ Wilson TWO DIPLOMAS OF HONOR AND TWO
MEDALS OF MERIT. This is a double victory, |
and the highest award which 1t was In the
mower 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 1875, as at Vienna in 1873, and at Paris In
1867, 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 medal or diploma, anu
consequently, they recommended TWO OF
EACH. The Centennial Commission unanl-
mously ratified the action OF the Judges, ana
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 8 Wilson" as the
STANDARD SEWING MACHINE OF THE WORLD
From the Official Report
Awards to wheeler & Wilson.
1, A Medal and Diploma for New Wheeler

reasons:

>. A Medal and Diploma for "The New
Wheeler Il Wilson Sewing Machine " lof
Superior quality of work in
Leather Stitching"
These New Machines embrace the elements
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 under tension; an improved form OF
feed, and better distribution of parts.
The points Of superiority of these Machines
over other Lock k-stiteh 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.
8, The simple automatic under tension, or
clamping Of the lower thread while the stake
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate the
lock Of the two threads while the machine is
in motion, by simply moving a 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 so large thread that the
needle hole is entirely filed, making firmer
and more beautiful stitch and r-tight
| seam in water proof gools, and as the stitch
| is drawn up, when the feed is not acting, the
material is not puckeTed," point of especial
Importance in braiding, binding and general
sewing, etc.; the rolling eyelet prevents tho
| 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 thckest mate
rials, or vice versa, without variation.
8. The neetle 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 beng much larger requires filing
less often, and permits the use OF q 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 llghtest gauze to the heay'
lest leather. with silk, linen or cotton thread
| 7. The parts Of these machines are perfectly y
interchangeable, and their form, distribution
balance and movement, secure not only the
greatest durability and speed, with the least
power, but also the greatest ease and con-
venience of management, and their superior
system, devices, material and workmanship
constitute them the elimination of Sewing
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 pei fec.
tion with the No. 6 Machine; but as there are
certain purposes to which the No. and the
No. are more especially suited by reason Of
size or form, some of the various kinds oi
work to which each machine is particularly
adapted may be classified as follows:
FOR THE NO. 6. MACHINE-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.
FOR THE NO. 7 MACHINE-Tailor-
ing of all kinds, suit making, cloaks. gloves,
blankets, dash boards, curtains and every
kind OF work in heavy fabrics. -
FOR THE NO. MACHINE-Tailor-
ing all kinds OF linen work, corsets. skirts, all
kinds Of ornamental braiding, overalls, shoe
Innings, hosiery, umbrellas, collars and cuffs,
shirts, and general domestic work.
