Progress in Americu.ii Invention. 
We are informed that the Wheeler & Wilson Manufac¬ 
turing Company 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 be 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 
Progress, since receiving the highest premiums at former 
World’s Expositions, and is the only sewing machine 
company recommended by the International Jury for (he 
Gi and Diploma of Honor.

A CARD FROM THE WALTER A. WOOD MOWING 
AND REAPING MACHINE CO. 
Ho.osick Falls, N. Y., August 22d, 1873. 
To our Agents and Patrons: 
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, lias been awarded to Walter A. Wood. 
He was the only manufacturer of Mowing and 
Reaping Machines who received the Diploma of 
Honor, aud only Five diplomas 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” and “Progress,” but 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 patrons on this brilliant suc¬ 
cess at these great International Expositious. 
In our own country our success has been equally 
as complete, as indicated by the largely increasing 
demaud and sales of the past harvest. 
Very truly yours, 
Walter A. Wood, President.
