SEWING MACHINES.
THE AMERICAN CENTENNIAL,
1876!
v heeler & Wilson
VICTORIOUS!

| 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 Philadelphia
in 1876 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, 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
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 & Wilson" as the
STANDARD SEWING MACHINE OF THE WORLD.

Awards to Wheeler & Wilson.

2. A Medal and Diploma for "The New
Wheeler " Wilson Sewing Machine" for
"SuperiOr quality of work In
Leather SLItching."
These New Machines embrace the elements
4 Of the original Wheeler g. 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 Machinea
over other Lock stitch Machines are very nu-
merous and important
l. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieter
and more rapid and certain in action than tho
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces moro
| 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.
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 is
m 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 channg of the thread be-
tween the needle and the material, and per-
| mits the use OF 30 large q thread that tho
needle hole is entirely filed, making hrmer
and more beautiful stitch and a ter-tight
seam in water proof goods, and as the stitch
Is drawn up, when the feed is not acting, the
material is not /" puckered," 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 thlckest mate
| rials or vice versa, without variation.
g. 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 beng much larger requires filing
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 OF cotton thread.
I. The parts OF these machines are perfectly
interchang geable, 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.-Ever
kind of stitching, from that required in the
| heaviest manufacturing to the lightest aud
most delicate possible, may be done to perfec-
| tion with the No. Machine; but as there are
| certain purposes TO which the No. and the
NO. y are more especially suited Dy 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 NO. 8 MACHINE-Boots
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. TMACHINE-laiior-
| ing Of all kinds, suit making, cloaks. gloves,
blankets. dash boards, curtains and every
kind OF work in heavy fabrics.
FOR THE NO. 8 MACHINE-Tailor-
ing all kinds of linen work, corsets. skirts, all
kinds of ornamental braiding, oyeralls, shoe
| Innings, hosiery, umbrellas, collars and cuffs,
shirts, and general domestic work.
Either of these Machines is superior to those
of any other system for stitching suspenders,
and all kinds OF rubber and oil cloth goods.
