KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR THS NEW WHITE, H' >RIZONTAL, FRED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING-, (And without fear of oniradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN OEWING "lt/TACHINES, This, the latest claimant for the the position o "Cheapest aud Kest in thewor'd' iatobe seenaithe Warehouse of Mr K. W. Kxuwles, Hastings-street, and unquestionably the many ingenious points displayed in the consi ruction render it well worth examining. Asa matter nf fact toe horizontal feed is common to many machines, aud the term has therefore no signifi ration oi importance. But in the Whiie machine there ia 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 aloig as if by two fingers 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 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-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 be passed over the worktable, and through the machine, without the remotest chance of i njuiy. The entire mechanism is ot the most simple character, and so little friction is there that one may ruu the nuchtnc—almost without Dting conscious of the fact. When the main part ot the machine is not required to be run—as, for instance, when shuttle bobbins fire to be wound —a little spring catch is thrown back, and the sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected from the driving gear. Further, when any given bearing may in the course of time become worn, the mere turning of a screw effects a refitting of the friction surfaces. One specially ingenious contrivance is displayed in the teusiou arrangement of the shuttle. 'J here are no holes to ba threaded, as is commonly the case ; but the thread beiusr wound in and out of a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, and by the action of a spring which can be made light or heavy at will, keoj s just the desired strain on the under thread. Tho tension for the upper thread is also automatic. The machines are now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when P-ice hats, etc., and fuller part:eu-ar-jc;n be obt*inodat c. w. knowles, G-enbbai- Merchant HASTINGS STREET, JSTAnBR.
