Exposition Univcrselle. 
The intelligence ami Judgment of the Imperial Commis- 
sion In the matter of awards are clearly evinced la the fol- 
lowing extract from 
The Exposition Unicerselle Illustrated. 
("Publication authorized by the Imperial Commission"): 
"By their skill, universally recognised, Messrs. Wheeler 
& "Wilson added to Howe's system of sewing machines im- 
portant modifications, which have placed them In the Iront 
rank of manufacturers. 
"The gold medal which has just been awarded them 
affirms, moreover, that none oi the machines from the work- 
shop of Howe, or of his principal tributaries, unite the qual- 
ities of simplicity and solidity of mechanism by which these, 
machines arc distinguished above all others. 
" In their machine, remarkable for its form and elegance, 
they have substituted for the shuttle of Howe a small flat 
dise which revolves vertically with unvarying swiftness. 
Hence this machine is the most simple of all, and notwith- 
standing Its great precision in operation, its price is not 
above that of the most imperfect systems. 
"Elegance, perfection of work, simplicity, solidity of me- 
chanism, and facility of management, such are the essential 
qualities united in the Wheeler <fc Wilson machine, consti- 
tuting a superiority which the Jury has with unanimity 
recognised and proclaimed. 
"To these gentlemen tlio gold medal was awarded as 
manufacturers of machine* ; !• Mr. Elias Howe a similar 
medal was awarded as propttffator. The distinction mado 
by the Jury explains itself. 
"The original machine of Thimonnicr only needed to 
pass into the skillful hands of Wheeler is Wilson, to receive 
its highest perfection. To-day, thanks to its cheapness, 
their machine is accessible to all. Its simplicity assures It 
not only a place in the chamber of the seamstress, but its 
elegant form wins its admittance into the most sumptuous 
parlor."
