SEWING MACHINES.

" AGUlGl Y " llDUW
VICTORIOUS!
Again the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Ma
chimes tri umph over the word. The Centen-
NAL Commission have officially announced
the awards, and decreed for the New Wheeler
Il Wills n TWO DIPLOMAS OF HONOR AND TWO
MEDALS OF MERIT. This is double victory,
and the highest award which 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
1857, Wheeler & Wilson lead the list. After q
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-
nous y 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 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 teke-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, quieter
and more rapid and certain in action than the
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces moro
regular and even stitch, and does far more
work with less fatigue of the operator.
2 Tho Rotary Hook system is more durable
and wears far less than the shuttle system, so
that the saving in time and repairs soon equals
the price of the machine.
8. The simple automatic under tension. or
clamping of the lower thread while the 4" take.
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate the
lock of the two threads while the machine in
in motion, by simply moving a lever, as can
be done with no shuttle machine.
H. The independent take up, which draws I'm
the thread when the needle is out Of the mate
rial, prevents the chaHng of the thread be-
tween the needle and the material, and per-
mlts the use Of 80 large thread that the
needle hole is entirely filed, making q tirmer
ana more beautiful stitch and a water-tight
seam i'll water proof gooIs, aud as the stitch
is drawn up, when the feed is not acting, the
material is not 4" puckered," point of especial
Importance i'll braiding, binding and general
sewing, ETC., the rolling eyelet prevents the
friction of the thread, and allows it to iow
with uniform twist and evenness, and the ten
sion or lock OF the threads being properly ad-
)usted, the seam with any length Of stitch
passes from the thinnest to the thickest mate
rials, or vice versa. without variation.
s. The needle is set by simply placing lit nj
position, the under thread is much more easily
wound and arranged than with the shuttle
shuttle, and being much arger requires filing
less often, and permits the use OF cord in
place of thread, which is important for many
purposes.
8. The range Of work with these machines 10
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.

USES OF THE MACHINES. EVERY
kind OF stitching, from that required in the
heaviest manufacturing to the lightest and
most delicate possible, may be done to perfec-
lion with the No. Machine; but as there are
certain purposes to which the No. and the
No. are more especially suited by reason OF
'ize or form, some Of the various kinds Of
work to which each machine is particularly
adapted may be classified as follows:
FOR THE NO. 6 MACHHNE-Boots
Ind shoes, harness, saddles, carriage trina
nings, patent leather trimmings for harness,
lorse collars, travelling bags, trunk trimmings,
canvas bags, pocket books, and heavy leather
work generally.
