Again the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Ma
chimes tri umph over the world. The Centen-
NAL Commission have officially announced
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 =
recognition. Moro than thirty OF the best pro-
ducers OF machines in this and other countries
entered for competition, and at Philadelphia
in 1875 as at Vienna in 1873, and at Paris In
1867, Wheeler 8 Wilson lead the list. After
careful, rigorous, and exhaustive examlna-
ton, the judges unanimously decided that the
superior excellence OF these machines de-
served more than one medal or diploma, and
con nsequently, 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 s. Wilson" as tho
STANDARD SEWING MACHINE OF THE WORLD.

These New Machines embrace the elements
II the original Wheeler & Wilson Machine,
with important additions and variations, and
liffer from other lock stitch Machines In hav-
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 nH-
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 mora
work with less fatigue of the operator.
z The Rotary Hook system is more durable
and wears far loss than the shuttle system, so
that the saving in time and repairs soon equals
the prioo of the machine.
8. The simple automatic under tension, or
clamping of the lower thread while the "taka-
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate the
look Of the two threads while the machine 10
in motion, by simply moving lever, as can
De done with no shuttle machine. -.
L. The independent take up, which draws up
the thread when the needle is out Of the mate
rial, prevents the ohafing Of the thread be-
tween the needle and the material, and per-
mits the use of 80 large a thread that ths
needle hole is entirely filed, making frmer
and more beautiful stitch and water-tIght
seam in water proof goo Is, and as the stitch
| is drawn up, when the feed Ia not acting, the
material ia not /" puckered," point of especial
Importance in braiding, binding and general
sewing, ETC.; the rolling eyelet prevents tho
friction of the thread, and allows it TO flow
with uniform twist and evenness, and the ten

justed, the scam with any length of stitch
passes from the thinncst TO the thickest 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 arger requires filing
loss often, and permits the use OF cord in
place Of thread, which is important for many
purposes
6. 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 leather with silk, linen OF cotton thread.
I. 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 ease and con-
| venlence of management, and their superiok
| system, devices, material and workmanship
| constitute them the elimination Of Sewing

| 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 peifec-
lion with the No. Machine; but as there ara
certain purposes to which the No. and the
No. are more especially suited by reason Of
size or form, some Of the various kinds Cd
| work to which each machine Is particularly
adapted may be classified as follows:
| FOR THE NO. 9 MACHINE-Boots
and shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trim
mings, patent leather trimmings for harness.
horse collars, travelling bags, trunk trimmings,
canvas bags pocket books, and heavy leather
