Sewing Machines. NOT FOR AN AGE, BUT FOE ALL TIME! : THE WOELD-EENOWNED RINGER QEWING 1%/TACHINE SEWS THE FINEST MUSLINS, and HEAVIEST CLOTHS. Easy w> Leaen. A Chiid can Wobk it. NEW AND VALUABLE IMPEOVEMENTS. foe the " New Family, " and " Medium," Machines. THE TEIPLE ACTION BALANCE WHEEL. This patented improvement adds a new feature of excellence to these popular Machines. Some of the advantages are as follow :- 1. It enables the inexperienced to suspend the motion of the Machine while learning the tread'.e action. 2. If the learner starts the treadle motion in the wrong direction, it will not work the Machine, but as soon '.is it takes the right direction it put 3 the Machine in motion 3. When winding shuttle-bobbins the action of the Machine is suspended, preventing disarrangements of the threads and unnecessary wear. This Mechanical principle on which Singer's Machines are built can hardly be improved, and as a proof of thifl it need only be said that it is about the only Machine imitators have endeavored to copy, not only in America, but also in Great Britain and the Continent 'of Europe. The legal proceedings against Kimball and Morton, Newton Wilson and Co., and Frister and Rossman, are well-known. The case of Newton and Wilson was ■, carried before the House of Lords. The Singer Co. won. The action against Frister and Rossman (a German firm), occupied the Superior Courts seventeen days last year. The decision was altogether in favor of the Singer Company. Since that trial no Sewing Machine Manufacturers or Dealers are permitted to use the name " Singer " inconnection with the style, ma .c, or sa'e of any Machine exoept those of the Singer Manufacturing Company's OWN MAKE. BEWARE OF PERSONS who having no good trade repute of their own, use our name " SINGER," to palm off Counterfeit Machines of inferior Construction and Manufacture, Every.

SEWING MACHINES on the Singer system, from £5. J. H. GROCOTT ANOTHER SEWING MACHINE E. W. KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TOR NEW WHITE, HOEIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN OEWING "jITACHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o "Cheapest and Best in the world "is to be seenatthe 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 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 aji pleasure. At the same time, the arm of the machine is at a more than ordinary height above tho table, and the pressure-foot also has a liberal amount of play tjiven to it by the aid of a well-contrived sprins-. A large mass of material could therefore bo passed over tho work table, and through the machine, without the remotest chance of n jury. The entire mechanism ie of the most Bimple character, and so little friction is there that one may run tho machine—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 ia 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 tension arrangement of the shuttle. Tbere are no holes to be threaded, as is commonly the case; but the thread beincr wound in and out of a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, and by the action of a spring which can ho made light or heavy at will, keeps just the desired strain on the under thread. The tension for the upper thread ia also automatic. The machines are now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and fuller particulars can be obtained at E. W. KNOWLES, General Meeohant hastings street, Namkr.
