2. A Medal and Diploma for 1.-THE New
Wheeler Il Wilson Sewing Machine" Tor
Superior quality of work ina
Leather Stitching"
These new Machines embrace the clelnents
Of the original Wheeler s. Wilson Machine,
With impol tant add tions and variations, aud
iffer from other lock stitch Machines In hav-
ing Rotary Hook and Bobbin in part OF tho
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, 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, 50
that the saving in time and repairs soon equals
| the price Of the machine.
g. The simple automatic under tension, or
clamping Of the lower thread while the take
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate the
lock of the two threads while the machine is
in motion, by simply moving lever, as can
be 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 chafing of the thread be-
tween the needle and the material, and per-
mits the use OF SO large thread that the
needle holeis entirely filed, making a nrmer
and more beautiful stitch and water tight
seam in water proof goo Is, and as the stitch
| is drawn up, when the feed is not acting, thu
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 add
| justed, the seam with any length OF stitch
passes from the thinnest to the thickest mate
| rials, or vice versa, without variation.
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 larger requires filling
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 ID
far greater than with any other, being on any
| material from the lightest gauze to the heaEA
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 .-Ever4
kind of stitching, from that required in tho
heaviest manufacturing to the lightest and
most delicate possible, may be done to pelfecA
tion with the No. Machine; but as there are
certain purposes to which the No. and thb
'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. 9 MACHINE-Boots

mings, patent leather trimmings for harness.
horse collars, travelling bags trunk trimmings
