SEWING MACHINES.

Again the wheeler 8 Wilson Sewing Ma
chimes tri umph over the world. The Centen-
nial Commission have oficially announced
the awards, and decreed for the New wheeler
A. Wilson TWO DIPLOMAS OF HONOR AND TWO
MEDALS OF MERIT. This is double victory,
and the highest award which it was in the
mower 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. 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.

These New Machines embrace the elements
If the original Wheeler g Wilson Machine,
With important additions and variations, and
Iiffer from other lock stitch Machines in hav-
ing a 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.
/. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quietel
and more rapid and certain in action than thu
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 equali
the price Of the machine.
8. The simple automatic under tension, OF
clamping of the lower thread while the stake
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate th'
| lock of the two threads while the machine ii
in motion. by simply moving lever, as car
| be done with no shuttle machine.
4. The Independent take-up, which draws NJ
the thread when the needle is ous Of the mate
| rial, prevents the chafng of the thread be-
| tween the needle and the material, and per
| mits the use Of 80 large thread that tn
needle hole is entirely filed, making hrmel
and more beautiful stitch and a water-t -tigh
seam i'll water proof goo Is, and as the stitch
Is drawn up, when the feed is not acting, tht
material is not puckered," point of especia
| 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
rials, or vice versa, without variation.
s. 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 arger requires filing
less often, and permits the use Of cord il
place Of thread, which is important for many
purposes.
6. The range OF work with these machines II
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
| T. The parts OF these machines are perfectly
| interchangeable, and their form, distribution
balance and movement, secure mot only thu
greatest durability and speed, with the leas
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 Ever,
kind of stitching, from that required in tn,
heaviest manufacturing to the lightest ant
most delicate possible, may be done to perfec
tion with the No. Machine; but as there ar
certain purposes to which the No. Z and tn,
No. are more especially suited by reason o
size or form, some Of the various kinds o
work to which each machine is particularly
adapted may be classified as follows:
FOR THE NO. 6 MACHINE-Boot
and shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trim
mings, patent leather trimmings for harness
horse collars, travelling bags, trunk trimmingf
canvas bags, pocket books, and heavy leathe
work generally.
FOR THE NO. MACHINE-Tailor
