SEWING MACHINES on the Singer system, FKOM £5. J. H. "gROOOTT." Opposite Holt's Timber Yard, Hastings-street, Napier ANOTHER SEWING MACHINE E. W. KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR THB NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING TyrACHINES. This, the latest claimant for the the position o "Cheapest and Best in the world" is to be seen at tho Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowles, Hastings-street, and unquestionably the many ingenious points displayed in the construction render it well worth examining. As a matter of fact the horizontal feed is common to many machines, and the term has therefore no signification of importance. But in the White machine there is this marked improvement on many other varieties—that the feed plate acts on either side of the needle. In other words, the work is pushed along as if by two fingers instead of one. Obviously this tends to produce Very even results, and ifc enables the operator to sew along the - right or left edge of the fabric at pleasure. At the same time, the arm of the machine is at a more than ordinary height above the table, and the pressure-foot also has a liberal amount of play given to it by the aid of a well-contrived sprimr. A largo mass o material could therefore be passed over the worktable, and through the machine, without the remotest chance of injury. The entire mechanism is of the most simple character, and so little friction is there that one may run the machine—almost without being conscious of the fact. When the main part of the machine is not required to be "tin—aß, for instance, when shuttle bobbin3ai'o to be wound —a little spring catch is thrown back, and the sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected f*on tho driving gear. Further, when any given hearing may in the course of time become worn, the 1 , mere turning of a screw effects a.refitting' of the fraction surfaces. One specially ingcrmftre- contrivaaceis displaj'ed in the tension arrangement of the »■■ There are-no holes to bo threaded, as ia the case; but the thread being wound in and a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, the action of a spring whicfi can be made light M heavy at will, keeps just the desired strain on « under thread. The tension for the upper thread is* also automatic. The machines are now on view, and an inspection i is respectfully solicited, when Price lists, otc, and fuller particulars can be obtained at IS.
