| and the highest award Whlcn III was III une
| power of the Centennial authorities to bcstow.
No other sewing Machine received such
recognition. Moro 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 1878, 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. The Centennial Commission unani-
! mous'y 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
& Wilson Sewing Machine" for the following
| reasons:
"A LOck-stitch Sewing Machine
unsurpassed iM the fine we RInaHls
| ship of its parts, and possessing
rGE 90 dgf9srsyy ;cisasses isEses of Meor
both on cloth and leather, beauty
| of stitch, case and rapidity OF mo-
| ton, and completeness OF dis
| play"
2 A Medal and Diploma for "The New
Wheeler " Wilson Sewing Machine" for
"SVperior quality of wGrk in
Leather StitchinE."
| These New Machines embrace the elements
Of the original Wheeler g. Wilson Machine,
with important additions and variations, and
differ from other lock stitch Machines in hav-
ing IL 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.
s. The simple automatic under tension, or
clamping of the lower thread while the stake
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate the
lock of the two threads while the machine is
in motion, by simply moving a lever, as can
be done with no shuttle machine.
A. The independent take-up, which draws up
the thread when the needle is tof the mate
rial, prevents the chahng 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 filed, making tirmer
and more beautiful stitch and water-tight
seam in er-proof gools, and as the stitch
is drawn up, when the feed is not acting, the
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 thckest mate
rials, or vice versa, without variation.
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 beng much larger requires filing
less often, and permits the use Of cord in
place Of thread, which is important for many
purposes.
g. The range OF work with these machines is
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
7. 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
Ipower. but also the greatest ease and con-
lvenience 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, come of the various kinds Of
work to which each machine is particularly
adapted may be classified as follows:
FOR THE NO. 6 MACHLNE-Boots
and shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trim
mings. patent leather trimmings for harness,
horse collars, travelling bags trunk trimmings
canvas bags, pocke books, and heavy leather
| work generally. 't"'
FOR THE NO. 7 7MACHINE-Taior-
ing Of all kinds, suit making, cloaks, gloves,
blankets, dash boards, curtains and every
kind OF work in heavy fabrics.
FOR THE NO. NfACHTNE-Tailor-
ing, all kinds Of linen work, corsets skirts, all
kinds Of ornamental braiding, overalls, shoe
Innings, hosiery, umbrellas, collars and cuffs,
shirts, and general domestic work. . ~
Either Of these Machines is superior to those
| Of any other system for stitching suspenders,
