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 .
recognition. More than thirty OF the best pro-
ducers OF machines in this and other countries
entered for competition, and ut Philadeiphia
in 1875, as at Vienna in 1878, and at Paris in
1857. Wheeler & Wilson lead the list. After
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
consequently, they recommended TWO on
EACH. Tho 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 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.
From the ofdcal Report
Awards to wheeler & Wilson. q.
1. A Medal and Diploma for" New Wheeler
i Wilson Sewing Machine" for the following
reasons:
ga LOck-stltch Sewing Machine
unsurpassed i'm the fine workman
ship of it's parts, and possessing
great originality, great adaPta-
5i2itY to different classes of work
both ON cloth and leather, beauty
Of stitch, ease and rapidity OF nae"
ton, and completeness OF 0is-
play"
?. Medal and Diploma for "The New
T. Maphinn
"Superior quality Of work In.
Leather StitchinK."
These New Machines embrace the elements.
OF the original Wheeler & Wilson Machine,
with important additions and variations, and
,.ffer from other lock stitch Machines in hay
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 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 mora
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 10
in motion, by simply moving lever, as can
DC done with no shuttle machine.
L. 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 80 large thread that the
needle hole is entirely filled, making nrmer
and more beautiful stitch and q water-tight
seam in water proof gools, and as the stitch
IS drawn up, when the feed la not acting, the
material is not puckered," point Of especial
importance in braiding, binding and gener al
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 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 lit nj
position; the under thread ia 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 Ii
far greater than with any other, being on any
material from the lightest gauze to the heay-
lest leather. with silk, linen or cotton thread.
Z. 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 Sowing
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 petfec-
tion with the No. Machine; but as there are
certain purposes to which the No. Z 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 trim
mings, patent leather trimmings for harness.
horse collars, travelling bags trunk trimmings,
canvas bags, pocket books, and heavy leothcr
work generally.
FOR THE NOT MACHINE-Tailor-
ing of all kinds, suit making, cloaks. gloves.
blankets, dash boards, cur; aims and every
kind OF work in heavy fabrics.
FOR THE NO. 8 MAC7IKNE-Tailor-
ing, all kinds Of linen work, corsets skirts, all
kinds Of ornamental braiding oyeralls, shue
Innings, hosiery, umbrellas collars and cuffs.
shirts, and general domestic work.
Either Of these Machines is superior to tbo.e
Of any other system for stitching suspendcrs
and ali kinds of rubber and oil cloth goods
