KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR THB NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And withoat fear of contradiction) THE BEST OP ALL KNOWN QEWING I\/rACHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o '' Cheapest and Best in the worl d"isto be seen at the Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowles, Hastings-street, and unquestionably tho 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 has therefore no signification of importance. But in the White machine there is this marked improvement on manj 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 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-fcf 1 also has a liberal amount of play triven to it by aid of a well-contrived sprinsr. A large mass o material could therefore be passed over the work, table, and through the machine, without the remotest chance of njury. The entire mechanism is of the most simple character, and so little friction is there that ono may run the machine—almost without being conscious of the fact. When the main part of the machine is not roquired to be run—as, for when shuttle bobbins are to be wound —a little Spring catch is thrown back, and the sewing mechoalan is thereby disconnected from ttjje driving tfftr. Further,, wlieti any given biariag may fh tHB time become worn, the mere turning of a effects a rofitting of the Motion surfaces. One' sjieciifily ingenious contrivance is displayed In Che tension armngement of the ghuttto. There are bo hdfcs to bo threaded, as i 3 commonly , the caso; but Wo thread boing wound in arid out of a few grooves, a lifitle afeol plate pops down, and by the acton pf a spring which can bo made light or heavy at will, keeps just the desired strain on the under thread. Tno tension for the upper threat! is also automatic. ' Tho machines aro now on view, and an inspection ' is respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and fuller particulars can bo obtained at " E. W.
