KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TUB NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, PEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING-, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING -jyTACHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o "Cheapest and Best in the world" is to be seen at the Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowles, Hastings-street, and unquestionably the many ingenious points displayed in the consTruction render it well worth examining. Asa 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 tho feed plato acts on either Bide of the needle. In other words, the work 1 is pushed along as if by two fingers instead of one. ' Obviously thin 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 tho machine is at a more than ordinary height above the table, and tho pressure-fed also has a liberal amount of play sfiven to it by aid of a well-contrived sprimr. A large mass o material could therefore he pissed over tho worktable, and through the machine, without the ro- , motest chance of njuty. Tho entire mechanism is 1 , of the most simple character, and so Httlo friction is 3 there that one may run the tmchlne—almost without being conscious of the fact. When tho main r part of tho machine is not required to be run—as, for instance, when shuttle bobbins nro to be wound . —a little spring- catch ia thrown back, and tho sewing , mechanism is thereby disconnected from the driving- β-ear. 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 Burfacea. One specially ingenious contrivance is displayed In the tension arrangement of tho shuttle. There are no holes to be threaded, as ia commonly • the case; but the thread being wound in and out ol a few grooves, a little stoel plate pops down, and by " the action of a spring which can be made light oi heavy at will, keeps just the desired etrain on the under thread. The tension for the upper thread it also automatic. The machines aro now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and " fuller partlcuiara cim be obtained at E. W. KNOWLES, Q-enebal Merchant hastings street, Natibr.
