Progress ill American iBTfni' — 
We are informed that the Wheeler & Wilson Manufac- 
turing Compnny has recently perfected and is now in- 
troducing a new and meritorious Sewing Machine— the 
New Wheeler &, Wilson No. 6, which is constructed on 
novel principles, and seems destined to revolutionize the 
sewing machinery of manufactories. 
This seems to he one of the reasons why this Company 
has received at the World's Exposition, Vienna, 1873, 
both the Grand Medal for Merit and the Grand Medal for 
Prowess, since receiving the highest premiums at former 
World's Expositions, and iB the only sewing machine 
company recommended by tlte International Jury for (lie 
Grand Diploma of Honor.

A CARD FROM THE WALTER A. WOOD MOWING 
AMD REAPING MACHINE CO. 
Hoosick Faixs, N. T., August 22d, 187a 
To our Agents and J'atrons : 
We have been asked by a number of our Agents 
and friends to give them a true statement of the 
facts connected with the Award of Prizes on Mow 
ers aud Reapers at the Vienna Exposition. 
In answer we would say that the Grand Diploma 
of Honor, the highest honor at the gift of the Ex- 
position, has been awarded to Walter A. Wood. 
He was the only manufacturer of Mowing and 
Reaping Machines who received the Diploma of 
Mo>iur, aud auly F*ve dipkxuus were awarded to 
individual citizens of the United States. 
This award was made after severe tests in the field. 
Some of our competitors were awarded medals of 
" Merit " aud " Progress," hut no one of them the 
Grand Award. 
Our victory at the Paris Exposition in 1867 is 
again repeated at Vienna in 1873, and we congratu- 
late ourselves and our p.itrons on this brilliant suc- 
cess at these great International Expositions. 
In our own country our success has been equally 
as complete, as iudicated by the largely increasing 
demand and sales of the past harvest. 
Very truly yours, 
Walter A. Wood, President.
