poyer 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 OF Philadelphia
in 1878 as at Vienna in 1873, and at Paris in
1907, Wheeler & Wilson lead the list. After
careful. rigorous, and exhaustive examina-
ton, the judges unanimously decided that ths
superior excellence OF those machines de-
served more than one medal or diploma, and
| consequently, they recommended TWO os
EACH. Tho Centennial Commission unani'
mousy ratified the action Of the judges, and
the public will indorse the decision OF these
ablest OF mechanical experta claim Of

| with important additions and variations, and
differ from other lock stitch Machines In hay-
| ing Rotary Hook and Bobbin in part OF che
shuttle; an independent take-up; an anto-
matte under tension; an improved form OF
feed, and better distribution Of parts.
| The points OF superiority Of those Machines
over other Lock stitch Machines are very nH-
merous and important.
/. The Rotary Hook is far easier, quietel
and more rapid and certain in action than the
vibrating shuttle, and hence produces mora
regular and even stitch. and does far more
work with less fatigue OF the operator.
q 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
| the price Of the machine.
8. The simple automatic under tension, or
clamping Of the lower thread while the take-
up" acts, enables the operator to regulate tho
lock of the two threads while the machine il
in motion, by simply moving lever, as caa
be done with no shuttle machine. : ...5,rFsre.4
4. The independent take-up, which draws up
the thread when the needle Is out of the mata-
rial, prevents the chafng OF the thread be.
tween the needle and the material, and per-
mits the use OF so large q thread that tha
needle hole is entirely filed, making a irmer
and more beautiful stitch and a water-tighs
seam in water proof goods, and as tho stitch
IS drawn up, when the feed Is not acting, the
material is not " puckered," point of especial
Importance in braiding, binding and general
sewing, ETC.; the rolling .eyelet prevents thu
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 scam with any length of stitch
passes from the thinnest to tho thokest mate
rials, or vice versa. without variation.
g. The needle is set by simply placing lit nd
position; tho under thread is much more easily
wound and arranged than with the shuttle
machine; tho bobbin is not threaded as is tho
shuttle, and being much arger requires filing
less often, and permits the use CT cord in
place Of thread, which is important for many
purposes.
9. The range Of work with these machines u
far greater than with any other, being on any

. 7. 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 case and con-
venience of management, and their superide
system, devices, material and workmanship
constitute them the elimination Of Sowing

chimes Of the world.
