the awards, and .decreed for the New Wheeler
& Wilson TWO DIPLOMAS OF HONOR AND TWO
MEDALS OF MERIT. This is a double victory.
and the highest award which it was in tho
power of the Centennial authorities to bestow-
No other sewing Machine received such a
recognition. More than thirty OF the best pro-
dncers of machines in this and other countries
entered for competition, and at Philadelphia
| in 1876, as at Vienna in 1879, and at Paris in
1867, Wheeler & Wilson lead the list. After a
| careful, rigorous, and exhaustive examina-
| tion, the judges unanimously decided that thd
superior excellence OF these machines dos
served more than one medal or diploma, and
consequently, they recommended TWO OF
| EACH. The Centennial Commission unani{
mousy ratified the action Of the judges, and
| the public will indorse the decision Of these
| ablest of mechanical experts A claim oil
equally distinguished honor for any othec
| sewing machine is only an attempt to hoods
wink the people. Read the following, which
| stamps the "New Wheeler & Wilson" as tho
STANDARD SEWING MACHINE OF THE WORLD.

| @ A Medal and Diploma for "The New
| Wheeler u Wilson Sewing Machine" for (!
! "SuperiOr quality of work iW
Leather Stitching."
/ These New Machines embrace the clementH
| Of the original Wheeler & Wilson Machines
| With important add tions and variations, and
/ iffer from other lock stitch Machines in haVI
Il ng a Rotary Hook and Bobbin in part Of tho
shuttle; an independent take-up; an auto-
matte under tension; aa improved form Of
feed, and better distribution Of parts. 1
| The points OF superiority Of these Machines
over other Look-stitch Machines are very nus
merous and important
/. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quiete1
and more rapid and certain in action than the
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces moro
regular and even stitch, and does far more
work with less fatigue of the operator. (.
2. The Rotary Hook system is more durabla
and wears far less than the shuttle system, So
that the saving in time and repairs soon equala
the price of tho machine. 4
/ g. The simple automatic under tension, or
Iclamping Of the lower thread while the "take<
I!up" acts, enables the operator to regulate the
Aock of the two threads while the machine is
in motion, by simply moving a lever, as can.
De done with no shuttle machine. I
L 4. The independent take-up, which draws up
the thread when the needle is out Of the mate
rial, prevents the chafing. Of the thread be-
tween the needle and the MATERIAL and per-
mits the use Of so large thread that the
needle hole is entirely filled, making firmer
and more beauti ul stitch and q water r-tiRht
seam in water proof goo s, and as the stitch
is drawn up, when the feed Ia not acting, the
material is not " puckered," point of especial
Importance in braiding, binding and gene eraI
sewing, etc.; the rolling eyelet prevents the
friction of the thread, and allows it to flow
with uniform twist and evenness, and the teH-
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
rails, or vice versa, without variation.
8. The needle is set by simply placing lit nj
position; theunder thread is much more easily
wound and arranged than with the shuttle
machne: the b0bhin is not threaded as is the
shuttle, and being much arger requires filing
less often, and permits the use OF a cord in
place of thread, which is important for many
purposes. 4
6. The range Of work with these machines is
far greater than with any other, being on any
material from the lghtest gauze to the heav-
lest leather, with silk, linen or cotton thread.
Z. The parts Of these machines are perfectly
Interchangeable, 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 and
most delicate possible, may be done to perfec-
tion 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 Of
work to which each machine is particularly
adapted may be classified as follows:
FOR THE NO. 6 HIACHINE-Boota
and shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trim !
mings, patent leather trimmings for harness,
horse collars, travelling bags, trunk trimmingsl
canvas bags. pock ct books, and heavy leather
work generally.
. FOR THE NO. Z MACHKNE-Taior-
ing OF all kinds, suit making, cloaks, gloves,
blankets, dash boards, curtains and every
kind Of work in heavy fabrics.
FOR THE NO. MACHINE-Tailor-
ing, all kinds Of linen work, cersets skirts, all
kinds Of ornamental braiding oyeralls, shoe
Innings, hosiery, umbrellas, collars and CUFFS
shirts, and general domestic work.
Either Of these Machines is superior to those
