No other sewing Machine received such \
More than thirty Of the best pro-
ducers of machines in this and other countries
entered for competition, and at Philade'phia
in 1875, as at Vienna in 1874 and at Paris in
1867, Wheeler & Wilson lead thelist. 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 or
EACH. The Centennial Commission unani-
mously ratified the action Of the judges, and
the public will indorse the decision OF these

These New Machines embrace the elements
Of the original Wheeler & Wilson Machine,
with important additions and variations, and
iffer from other lock stitch Machines in hay
ing Rotary Hook and Bobbin In part Of TIM
shuttle; an independent take-up; an auto
matte under tension; an improved form OK
feed, and better distribution of parts.
The points Of superiority Of these Machines
over other Lock-stitch Machines are very na-
merous and important
l. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quietee
and more rapid and certain in action than TIM
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces mora
regular and even stitch, and does far more
work with less fatigue OF the operator.
z The Rotary Hook system is moro durable
and wears far less than the shuttle system. 30
| that the saving in time and repairs soon equals
| the price Of the machine.
| 8. The simple automatic under tension, OF
| clamping OF the lower thread while the "take-
upn acts, enables the operator to regulate the
lock of the two threads while the machine Ia
in motion, by simply moving q 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 chaing Of the thread be-
tween the needle and the material, and per-
mits the use OF 80 large thread that thB
needle hole is entirely filled, making tirmer
and more beautiful stitch and water-tight
seam in water proof goods, and as the stitch
IS drawn up, when the feed Is not acting, tho
material is not " puckered," a point Of espeOiei
importance III braiding, binding and general
sewing, ETC.; the rolling eyelet prevents TIM
friction of the thread, and allows ii to fiow
with uniform twist and evenness, and the ten
sion or lock OF the threads hoing properly ad-
justed, the seam with any length Of stitch
passes from the thinnest to the thiokest mate
Iials, or vice versa, without variation.
3. The needle is set by simply placing lit M
position the under thread is much more easily
wound and arranged than with the shuttle
machine: the bobbin is not threaded as is thB
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
8. The range Of work with these machines d
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
Z. The parts OF these machines are perfectly
nterchange geable, and their form, distribution
j, balance and movement, secure not only thu
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 Mo
= chimes Of the world.
' USES OF THE MACHINES .-Evefl
kind Of stitching, from that required in th
q heaviest manufacturing to the lightest ani
9 most delicate possible, may be done to perfee
: tion with the No. Machine; but as there ar
+ certain purposes to which the No. and tii
y No. are more especially suited by reason o
: size or form, some of the various kinds O
4 work to which each machine is particularly
adapted may be classified as followsI
FOR THE NO. MACHINE-Boot
and shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trim
mings, patent leather trimmings for harness
horse collars, travelling bags, trunk trimmings
6 canvas bags, pock books, and heavy leathe
!, work generally.
4 FOR THE NO. Z MACHINE-TaiIof
y ing Of all kinds, suit making, cloaks, glover
/. blankets, dash boards, curl aims and ever
h kind OF work in heavy fabrics
It FOR THE NO. 8 MACHINE-Tailor
ing, all kinds Of linen work, corsets, skirts, al
kinds Of ornamental braiding, oyeralls, slso,
D. Innings, hosiery, umbrellas, collars aud cuffs
shirts, and general domestic work.
9 Either Of these Machines is superior to thds,
of any other system for stitching suspendcrl
and all kinds OF rubber and oil cloth goods
