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 is only an attempt to hood

p A Medal and Diploma for "The New
Wheeler II Wilson Sewing Machine " for
Superior quality of work in
Leather Stitching"
These New Machines embrace the clements
# the original Wheeler 4 Wilson Machine,
With important additions and variations, and
.ffer from other lock stitch Machines in havt
ng Rotary Hook and Bobbin in part OF thd
shuttle; an independent tAke-up; an autoI
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, quietor
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.
q The Rotary Hook system is more durable
aud 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
ulamping of the lower thread while the " take
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate the
in motion, by simply moving a lever, as can
DC done with no shuttle machine.
A. 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 a thread that the
needle hole is entirely filed, making nrmcr
and more beautiful stitch and water -tight
seam in water proof goo IS, and as the stitch
ID drawn up, when the feed is 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 how
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 tho
shuttle, and being much arger requires filing
| less often, and permits the use OF cord In
place of thread, which is important for many
purposes.
| 9. The range Of work with these machines 10
| far greater than with any other, being on any
material from the llghtest gauze to the heav-
lest leather. with silk, linen or cotton thread.
| T. The parts Of these machines are perfectly
interchange 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 aud
most delicate possible, may be done to pei fec
tion with the No. Machine; but as there ara
certain purposes to which the No. z and the
No. s are more especially suited by reason oi
size or form, some Of the various kinds o1
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.
