CNlutS uUlpH ONGI tuO Nui AHS SOllbCh-
nial Commission have officially ANNOUNCED
the awards, and decreed for the New Wheeler
4 Wilson Two DIPLOMAS OF HONOR AND TWO
MEDALS OF MERIT. This is a double victory,
and tho highest award whioh it was in the
power of the Centennial authorities TO bestow.
No other sewing Machine received such
recognition. More than thirty Of the best pro-
ducers OF machines in this and other countries
entered for competition, and at Philadelphia
| In 1876 as at Vienna in 1873, and at Paris in
1867. Wheeler & Wilson lead the list. After
careful, rigorous, and exhaustive examina-
| ton, 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 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

These New Machines embrace the elements
Of the original Wheeler u 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 Sake-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.
l. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quieter
and more rapid and certain in action than the
, vibrating shuttle, and hence produces q 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, So
that the saving in time and repairs soon equals
i the price Of the machine.
= 8. The simple automatic under tension, or
clamping OF tho lower thread while the take
l | " artR anahlea a IN To he
lock of the two threads while the machine ia
in motion, by simply moving a lever, as can
= be done with no shuttle machine.
A. The independent take up which draws up
the thread when the needle il out 4; the mate
rial, prevents the chafng OF the thread be-
tween the needle and the material, and per-
mits the use Of go large thread that the
needle hole is entirely flied, making a iirmer
and more beautiful stitch and water tight
seam in water proof gooIs and as the stitch
is drawn up when the feed ia not acting, tlie
: material is not " puekervd," point Of especial
| Importance i'll brai1ing, binding and general
sewing, ETC.; the rolling eSelet prevents the
friction Of the thread, and allows it to now
. with uniform twist and cvcnness and the ten e.
sion or lock Of the threads being properly ad =
justed, the seam with any length OF stitch
passes from the thinnyst to the thcilest mate
risls, or vice versa, without variation.
| 5. The needle Is set by simply placing III 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 being much arger requires flIing
, less often, and permits the use Of q cord in
place of thread, which is important for maay
purposes.
6. The range Of work with these machines is
$ far greater than with any other, being on any
? material from the hghtsst gauze to the heav-
lest leather with silk, linen or cotton thread.
Z. The parts of these machines are pertsctl y
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 superids
system, devices, materia! and workmanship
Z, constitute them the elimination Of Sewing
Mechanism and the standard Saving Ma
, | chimes of the world.
USES of THE MACHINES Ever,
:. kind of stitching, from that required in the
= heaviest manufacturing to the lightest and
|, most delicate possible, may be done to perfec-
!, tion with the No. 6 Machine; but as there are
:. certain purposes to which the No. Z and the
No. are more especially suited by reason Of
size or form, some Of the various kinds Of
work to which each machine is particularly
n adapted may be classified as follows:
FOR THE NO. 6 mACHKNE--Bocs
and shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trim.
:. mings, patent leather trimmings for harness.
7, horse collars, travelling bags, trunk trimmings
~ canvas bags, pock ct books, and heavy leathe,
work generally.
FOR THE NO. I MACHxNE-Taiior
I, ing Of all kinds, suit making, cloaks, gloves
f. blankets, dash boards. curtains and evtr]
kind Of work in heavy fabrics.
For THE NO. NfAOHKNE-Taiiax
ing, all kinds of linen work. corssts sKirss, d
Q. kinds Of ornamental braidins, overatls, sho
