No other sewing Machine received such .
recognition. More than thirty Of the best pro-
dueers Of machines in this and other countries
entered for competition, and at Philadel phia
in 1876, as at Vienna in 1873, and at Paris in
1867, Wheeler 8 Wilson lead the list. After o
careful, rigorous, and exhaustive examins-
ton, the judges unanimously decided that the
superior excellence Of these machines deH
served more than one medal or diploma, and
they recommended TWO or
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 OF
equally distinguished honor for any other
sewing machine is only an attempt to hood

These New Machines embrace the elements
of the original Wheeler & Wilson Machine,
with import1-46 additions and variations, and
differ 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 nUs
merous and important.
/. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieteI
and more rapid and certain in action than thu
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces NOR,
regular and even stitch, and does far morS
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.
g. The simple automatic under tension, or
clamping of the lower thread while the takes
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate the
lock of the two threads while the machine il
in motion, by simply moving lever, as-can
be done with no shuttle machine. ,->t
4. The independent take-up, which draws up
the thread when tue needle is out of the mate
rial, prevents the chafing of the thread bes
tween the needle and the material, and perS
mits the use OF so large thread that tho
needle hole is entirely filed, making lIrmer
and more beautiful stitch and water tight
seam in water proof goo1s, and as the stitch
Is drawn up, when the feed is not acting, the
is not " puckered," point Of especial
Importance in braiding, binding and general
sewing; etc.; the rolling eyelet prevents ting
friction of the thread, and allows it to hoN

rials, or vice versa. without variation.
s. The needle is set by simply placing tit nj
position; the under thread is much more easily
wound and arranged than with the shuttle
machine: the bobbn is not threaded as is the
shuttle, and beng much arger requires filing
less 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 IL
far greater than with any other, being on any
material from the llghtest gauze to the heavi
lie st leather, with silk, linen or cotton thread
z. The parts OF these machines are perfectly
geable, 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 IIACHINES,--Every
kind OF stitching, from that required in ths
heaviest manufacturing to the lghtest and
most delicate possible, may be done to perfecr
tieu with the No. 8 Machine; but as there arS
certain purposes to which the No. and ths
No. are more especially suited by reason d
size or form, some Of the various kinds ol
work to which each machine is particularly
adapted may be classified as follows:
FOR THE NO. NTACHENE-Boott
and shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trim
mings, patent leather trimmings for harness,
horse collars, travelling bags. trunk trimmingG,
canvas bags, pocket books, and heavy leathG
work generally.
FOR THE NO. Z MACHINE-Taiios
ing of all kinds, suit making, cloaks, glovee
blankets, dash boards, curtains and eVery
kind of work in heavy fabrics. ~
FOR THE NO. MACHINE-Tailors
ing all kinds Of linen work, corsets, skirts, all
kinds Of ornamental braiding, overalls, sho<
Innings, hosiery, umbrellas, collars and cuffa
shirts, and general domestic work.
Either of these Machines is superior to thosV
