chimes tri umph over the word. The Centen-
nialsC Commission have officially announced
the awards, and decreed for the New Wheeisr
Il Wilson TWO DIPLOMAS OF HONOR AND TWO
MEDALS OF MERIT. This is 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 at Philadeiphia
in 1870, as at Vienna in 1873, and at faris In
1867. Wheeler & Wilson lead the list. After
careful, rigorous, and exhaustive examina-
ton, the judges unanimously DECIDED that ths
superior excellence of these machines de-
served more than one medal or diploma, ana
consequently, they recommended TWO OF
EACH. The Centennial Commission unani-
mously ratified the action OF the judges, ana
the public will indorse the decision OF these
ablest OF mechanical experts. claim OF

"superior quality of work In

These new Machines embrace the elements

With important additions and variations, and
ffer from other lock stitch Machines in hav-

matte under tension; an improved form OF
feed, and a better distribution Of parts.
The points OF superiority OF these Machines
over other Lock stitch Machines are very nu-
merous and important
1. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieter
| and more rapid and certain in action than tina
| vibrating shuttle, and hence produces moro
| regular and even stitch, and does far mors
work with less fatigue Of the operator.
z The Rotary Hook system is more durable
and wears far less than the shuttle system, SO
that the saving in time and repairs soon cquall
the price Of the machine.
8. The simple automatic under tension, oy
c1amping Of the lower thread while the take
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate thi
lock of the two threads while the machine il
in motion. by simply moving lever, as can
be done with no shuttle machine. ...
4. The Independent take up, which draws ~
the thread when the needle is out Of the mate

tween the needle and the material, and per
