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 Philadelphia
in 1876, as at Vienna in 1873, and at Paris In
1867, Wheeler & Wilson lead the list. 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 OF
EACH. Tho Centennial Commission unanl-
nous 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 Official Report
Awards to Wheeler & Wilson.
1. A Medal and Diploma for "New Wheeler
6 Wilson Sewing Machine" for the following
reasons:

great originality, great adaPta-

?. A Medal and Diploma. for "The New
Wheeler " Wilson Sewing Machine ior
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 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.
l. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieter
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.
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.
8. 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 is

USES OF THE MACHINES. Ever
kind Of stitching, from that required in tn
heaviest manufacturing to the lightest an
most delicate possible, may be done to perfet
tion with the No. Machine; but as there al
certain purposes to which the No. Z and tn
No. are more especially suited by reason
size or form, some Of the various kinds
work to which each machine is particular
adapted may be classified as follows:
FOR THE NO. 6 NIACHINE-Boo
and shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trim
mings, patent leather trimmings for harness
horse collars, travelling bags, trunk trimming
. canvas bags, pocket books, and heavy leathe
work generally.
FOR THE NO. 7 MACHINE--Taiiol
ing of all kinds, suit making, cloaks, glove
blankets, dash boards, curtains and ever
kind Of work in heavy fabrics.
FOR THE NO. MACHINE-Tailol
ing, all kinds of linen work, corsets, skirts, a
kinds OF ornamental braiding, overalls, she
Innings, hosiery, umbrellas, collars and cuff
shirts, and general domestic work.
Either Of these Machines is superior to thos
l of any other system for stitching suspender
