THE CENTENNIAL MEDAL!

The Truth at Last !

THE

HOWE MACHINEAgain Triumphant!

At the 45th Exhibition of the AmericanInstitute Fair in this city, the Howe Ma-chine was recommended by the judges,and approved by the unanimous vote ofthe Board of Managers, for the GREATGOLD "CENTENNIAL MEDAL," under thefollowing rules :

"This Medal (of gold) is to be awardedonly for a machine, product, or process,exhibited this 'Centenmal year,' at the 45thExhibition of the American Institute ofthe city of New York. It can be awardedonly for a machine, product, or process, ofgreat value, decided importance, and ofmore than usual merit; and then only bya majority of the whole Board of Trustees,upon the written report of three judges,whose report shall certify to the aboverequirements, and after said report shallhave been approved by a majority of thewhole Board of Managers."

It will be thus seen that the "Howe"still leads all competitors-and we chal-lenge all Sewing Machine Companies inthe land to produce an award of like ex-cellence received in this "ENTENNIALYEAR.
