W. iSoWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT for inn NEW WHITE, Hi)SiZOS T TAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY EUNNINCr, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING "TyiT* CHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o "Cheapest and Beat in the world- i s to be seen at tho Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowles, Hastings-street, and unquestionably the many ingenious points displayed in tho construction render it well worth examining. Asa matter of fact the horizontal feed is common to many machines, and the term haa 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 hy 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 tho fabric at pleasure. At the same time, the arm of tho machine ia at a more than ordinary heifiht above the table, and tho pressure-fed also has a liberal amount of pUy (jiveu to it by aid of a well-contrived sprinc A large mass o material could therefore be passe', over the worktable, and through tho machine, without the remotest chance of ujury. The entire mechanism is , of the most simple character, and so little friction is 1 there that one may run the nn chine—almost without being conscious of the fact. When the main part of the machine is not required to be run—as, for instance, when shuttle bobbins are 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 hearing may In tho 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 tension arrangement of tho shuttle, 'iherearonoholestobe threaded, as ia commonly the case; but the thread being wound in and out of a few grooves, a little steel plate'pops down, and by the action of a spring which oau be made light or heavy at will, keeps just the desired strain on the under thread. The tension for the upper thread is also automatic. The machines are now on view, and an inspection is reßpecLfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and fuller partlcrilarj cim be obtained at E. W.
