VICTORIOUS!


power of the Centennial authorities to bestow-
No other sewing Machine received such q
recognition. More than thirty Of the best pro-
ducers of machines in this and other countries
entered for competition, and at Philade phia
in 1875, as at Vienna in 1879, and at Paris In
1867, Wheeler & Wilson lead the list. After .
careful, rigorous, and exhaustive examina-
tion, 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 ,Inani~
mously 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 g. Wilson" as tha

These New Machines embrace the clements
Of the original Wheeler & Wilson Machine,
with important 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 autos
matte under r-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, quieteG
and more rapid and certain In action than tho
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces moro
regular and even stitch, and does far moro
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 equal9
the price Of the machine.
g. The simple automatic under tension, on
clamping of the lower thread while the take.
up" acts, enables the operator TO regulate the
lock Of the two threads while the machine ID
In motion, by simply moving lever, as can
be done with no shuttle machine.
A. The independent take-up, which draws uIs
the thread when the needle is out Of the mate
rial, prevents the chalng OF the thread be-.
tween the needle and the material, and per-
mits the use OF so large thread that the
needle hole is entirely filed, making hrmer
and more beautiful stitch and q water-tight
seam in water proof gooIs, and as tho stitch
Is drawn up, when the feed 10 not acting, the
material is not " puekered," q point Of especial
Importance In braiding, binding and general
sewing, ETC.; the rolling eyelet prevents tha
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 thnnest to the thickest mate
rials, or vice versa, without variation.
g. The needle is set by simply placing lit nj
position; the under thread 10 much more easily
wound and arranged than with the shuttle
machine; the bobbin is not threaded as is the
shuttle, and beng much larger requires filing
less often, and permits the use OF a cord in.
place Of thread, which is important for many
purposes.
g. The range Of work with these machines iss
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
I. 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 .-Everg
kind OF stitching, from that required in the
heaviest manufacturing TO the lightest ana
most delicate possible, may be done to perfecg
tion with the No. Machine; but as there are
| certain purposes to which the No. and tho
No. are more especially suited by reason Of
size or form, some of the various kinds Of
work to which each machine is particular Il
| adapted may be classified as follows:
FOR THE NO. MACHINE-BootG
| and shoes, harness. saddles, carriage trim (
| mings, patent leather trimmings for harness.
horse collars, travelling bags, trunk trimmingss
canvas bags pocket books, and heavy leatheH
work generally. 4,
FOR THE NO. Z NIACHNNE-Taiior-
ing Of all kinds, suit making, cloaks, glovess
| blankets, dash boards, curtains and every
kind OF work in heavy fabrics. 4
FOR THE NO. 8 MACHINE Tailor
ing, all kinds of linen work, eorsets. Skirts all
kinds Of Ornamental braiding, overslls, shoa
4 Innings, hosiery, umbrellas, collars and CUFFS
\ shirts, and general domestic work.
| Either Of these Machines is superior to those
| OF any other system for stitching suspendersf
| and all kinds OF rubber and oil cloth goods.
