SEWING MACHINES on the Singer systom, FROM £5. J. 11. GROCOTT, ANOTHER SEWING MACHINE E. W. KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TUB NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING-, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING TyfACHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o '' Cheapest and Best in the worl d " 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. As a matter oi 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 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 tho right or left edge of the fabric at pleasure. At the samo time, the arm of the machine is at a more than ordinary height abovo tho table, and the pressure-fcol also has a liberal amount of play given to it by aid of a well-contrived apriiis?. A large mass o material could therefore bo passed over tho worktable, and through tho machine, without the remotest chance of njury. The entire mechanism is of tho most simplo character, and so little friction is there that one may run tho machine—almost withf out being conscious of the fact. AVhen the main part of tho machine i 3 not required to be run—as, for instance, when shuttle bobbins are to he wound —a little spring catch is thrown back, and tho 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 ia displayed in tho tension arrangement of the shuttle. Thero are no holos to be threaded, as is commonly the case; but tho thread being 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, keeps just the deßired strain on the under thread. The tension for the upper thread is also automatic. The machines are now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and fuller particulars can bo obtained at E. W. KNOWLES, GENERAL Merchant HASTINGS STREET, Hatieb.
