SEWING MACHINES.

VICTORIOUS!
Again the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Ma
chimes triumph 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 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 Philadelphia
in 1876, as at Vienna in 1878, and at Paris La
1867, Wheeler & Wilson lead the list After Q
careful, rigorous, and exhaustive eXaminR-
ton, the judges unanimously decided that the
superior excellence OF these machines de-
served more than one medal or diploma, and
consequently, they recommended TWO or
EACH. The Centennial Commission unani-
mousy ratified the action Of the Judges, and
the public will indorse the decision OF those
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 thu
STANDARD SEWING MACHINE OF THE WORLD.

/. A Medal and Diploma for "New Wheeler
3 Wilson Sewing Machine" for the following
reasons:

?. A Medal and Diploma for 1.-THE New
Wheeler u Wilson Sewing Machine" for
"Superior quality of work In
Leather Stitching"
These New Machines embrace the clements
Of the original Wheeler & Wilson Machine,
with important additions and variations, and
differ from other lock stitch Machines in hay
ing Rotary Hook and Bobbin in part OF tho
shuttle; an Independent take-up; an auto
feed, and better distribution Of parts. ''
The points Of superiority Of these Machines
over other Lock stitch Machines are very nR-
merous and important ...
/. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieter
and more rapid and certain In action than thI
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces nforf
regular and even stitch, and does far moN
work with less fatigue Of the operator.
2. The Rotary Hook system is more durable
aud wears far less than the shuttle system, SO
the price of the machine.
8. The simple automatic under tension, or
clamping of the lower thread while the take
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate thq
lock Of the two threads while the machine b
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 tho 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 tho
needle hole is entirely filed, making firmer
and more beautiful stitch and water-tighs
seam in water proof goo1s, and as the stitch
Is drawn up, when the feed Is not acting, tho
material ia not puckered," apoint Of especial
importance in braiding, binding and general
sewing, ETC.; the rolling eyelet prevents the
friction of the thread, and allows it to how
with uniform twist and evenness, and tho ten-
sion or lock Of the threads being properly ad-
justed, the scam with any length of stitch
passes from the thinnest to the thickest mate
rials, or vice versa. without variation.
s. The needle is set by simply placing tit 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 nlling
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 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
T. The parts OF these machines are perfectly
interchangeable, and their form, distribution.
balance and movement, secure not only tho
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 perfec,
tion with the No. 9 Machine; but as there ars
certain purposes to which the No. 7 and the
No. are more especially suited by reason Of
size or form, some Of the various kinds ID
work to which each machine is particularly
adapted may he classified as follows:
FOR TINE NO. MACHINE-Boota
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.
