SEWING MACHINES.

VICTORIOUS!
Again the Wheeler d Wilson Sewing Mo-
chimes tri umph over the world. The Centen-
nial Commission have officially announced
the awards and decreed for the New Wheeler
& Wilson TWO DIPLOMAS OF HONOR AND TWO
MEDALS OF MERIT. This is double victory
and the highest award which 1t was in thh
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 Il 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 or
EACH. The Centennial Commission unani-
mously ratified the action Of the judges, and
the puolic 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 s. Wilson" as the
STANDARD SEWING MACHINE OF TIE WORLD.
From the Official Report
Awards to Wheeler Il Wilson.
l. A Medal and Diploma for New WheeleE
3 Wilson Sewing Machine" for the following
veasOns:
GA LOck-stitch Sewing Machine
unsurpassed ina the fine workman
Siafp of its parts, and possessing
great originality, great adaPt@-
Si1ity to different Glasses Of work
both ON cloth and leather, beauty
of stitch, ease and rapidity of mO~
lion, and completeness of dis
play"
2. A Medal and Diploma for "The New
Wheeler u Wilson Sewing Machine" for
"Superior quality of work in
Leather Stitching"
These New Machines embrace the elements
Of the original Wheeler 8 Wilson Machine,
with important additions and variations, and
!iffor from other lock stitch Machines in hay
.ng Rotary Hook and Bobbin in part OF tina
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 more
regular and even stitch, and docs 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 equala
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 tha
lock of the two threads while the machine ia
in motion, by simply moving lever, as can
be 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 thread that tho
needle hole is entirely filled, making q tirmef
and more beautiful stitch and q water-tighE
seam in water. proof gooIs, and as the stitch
Is drawn up, when the feed is not acting, tho
material is not " puckered," point Of especial
Importance in braiding, binding and general
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 seam with any length Of stitch
passes from the thinnest to the thickest mate
riala 0r " ria
8. 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 the
shuttle, and being much larger requires filing
less often, and permits the use Of o 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 lightest gauze to the heav-
lest feather, with silk, linen or cotton thread.
7. 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 case and con-
Venlence OF management, anu 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 tho
heaviest manufacturing to the lightest and
most delicate possible, may be done to perfec-
zion with the No. Machine; but as there are
certain purposes to which the No. and the
No. are more especially suited by reason OF
size or form, some Of the various kinds oR
work to which each machine is particularly
adapted may be classified as follows:
