THE AMERICAN CENTENNIAL,
Y
1876!
Wheeler & Wilson
VICTORIOUS!

CnlneS tr1 uuph over the Worud. Inc Oent0n-
nial Commission have officially announced
tho awards, and deereed for the New Wheeler
h Wilson TWO DIPLOMAS OF HoNoH AND Fwo
MEDALS OF MERIT. This is double victory,
and the highest award whicn it was in tho
power of the Centennial authorities to bcstow.
No other sewing Machine received such .
recognition More than thirty Of tho best pro-
ducers Of machines in this and other countries
entered for competition, and st Phflade'phia
in 1876, as at Vienna in 1871, and at Paris in
1857 Wheeler & Wilson lead the list. After q
careful, rigorous, and exhaustive examfna-
tion, 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-
mously ratified the action of the iudgss, 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.

kind of stitching, from that required In the
heaviest manufacturing to the lightest and
