NAL Commission have officially announced
the awards, and decreed for the New Wheeler
& Wilson TWO DIPLOMAS OF HONOR AND TWO
MEDALS OF MERIT. This is a double victory,
and the highest award which it was in the
power of the Centennial authorities to bestow.
No other sewing Machine received such a
recognition. More than thirty Of the best pro-
dueers 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 q
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
| ablest Of mechanical experts A claim Of
equally distinguished honor for any other
sewing machine ia 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 Official Report
A"arOS TO WheeleF q WlIGOns
1. A Medal and Diploma for New Wheeler
8 Wilson Sewing Machine" for the following
reasons:
GA LOck-stftch Sewing Machine
unsurpassed i'm the fine WOrkmans
ship OF it's parts, and possessing

both on cloth and leather, beauty

| ton, and completeness OF dis
play"
2. A Medal and Diploma for "The New
Wheeler u Wilson Sewing Machine" " for
"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 tske-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
ohu hiOAO AoPtu anu SSI III tCLlOu Judu Jut
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.
g. The simple automatic under tension, or
clamninU n the lntuor trh; ;Jo
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 chahng 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 tirmer
and more beautiful stitch and a water tight
seam in water proof goo1s, aud as the stitch
Is drawn up, when the feed ia 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
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 beng much larger requires filing
less often, and permits the use OF a 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.
7. 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. 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. Machine; but as there ara
certain purposes to which the No. and the
No. are more 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 NO. 6 MACHINE-Boot,
and shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trims
mings. patent leather trimmings for harnese
horse collars, travelling bags, trunk trimminge
canvas bags, pocket books, and heavy leathe2
work generally.
FOR THE NO. MACHINE-Taiior-
ing Of all kinds, suit making, cIoaks, 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, overalls, shoe
Innings, hosiery, umbrellas collars and cuffs,
shirts, and general domestic work.
