KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TUB NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, EEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING Ti/TACHINES, This, the latest claimant for tho the position o "Cheapest and. Best in the world "is to be Econattho Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowles, Hastings-street, and unquestionably the many ingenious points displayed in tho construction render it well worth examining. As a matter of fact the' horizontal feed is common to many machines, and the term ha 3 therefore no signifL-ation 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 ,is i£ by two lingers instead of one. Obviously this tends to produce very even results, and it enables the operator to sew along the right or left edge of tho fabric at pleasure. At the samo time, the arm of tho machine is at a more than ordinary height above the table, and the pressure-foe* also has a liberal amount of play given to it by the aid of a well-contrived spring. A largo mass o material could therefore bo passe-.', over the worktable, and through tho machine, without the remotest chance cf i njury. The entire mechanism is of the most simple character, and so little friction is there that one may ruu the machine—almost without being conscious of the fact. When the main part of the machine is not required to be run—as, for instance, when shutt-lo bobbins are to be wound —a little spring catch is thrown bask, and the sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected from the driving gear. Further, when any given bearing may In tho course of time become worn, the mere turning of a screw effects a refitting of the friction surface* One ppeciallv ingenious contrivance is displayed in the tension arrangement of the shuttle. Tbero'ara no holes to be threaded, as la <»«f ™»JJ the case; but the thread being wound in and out of a few grooves, a little steel plate popsdown and by the action of a spring which can.be made light or heavvat will, keens just the desired strain on tne undlr thread. The tension for the uppar thread 19 also automatic. The machines are now on view, and an inspection is respectfully s>li<ited, when Price lists, etc., and fuller partlcu arj ci v bo oofcainedat E. W.
