I Sewing Machines. NOT FOR AN AGE, BUT FOR ALL TIME! THE WORLD-RENOWNED ' DINGER QEWING IyTACHINE SEWS THE FINEST and HEAVIEST CLOTHS. Easy to; Learn. A Chimi oan Work it. NEW AND VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS. ■:• for the" New Family, " and "Medium," Machines. THE TRIPLE 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 puts the Machine in motion 3. When winding shuttle-bobbins the action of the Machine is.suspended, preventing disarrangements of the threads and unnecessary .woar. This Mechanical principle on ; which Singer's Machines are Built can hardly be improved, and as a proof of this 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 arid Co., aud Frister and Rossman, are well-known. The case of Newton and Wilson was carried before the House of Lords. The Singer Co. won. Tho 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 '* in connection with the style; ma.c, or sa'e of any Machine except those of'tho Singer Manufacturing Company's OWN MAKB.

KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT for thb NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN OEWING Tl/TACHINES 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. Knowms, 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 acta 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 sow 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 hei«ht above the table, and the pressure foot also has a liberal amount of play given to it by the aid of a weli-coiitnved aprinir. A large mass of material could therefore be passed over the work table, and through the' machine, without the remotest chance of ■ njuiy.' The entire mechanism is ol the most simple character, and so little friction is ■ there that one may rua the machine—almost without oeing conscious of the fact. When the main part of tho machine is hot required to be run—as for instance, when shuttle bobbins are to be wound' —a little spring catch is thrown back, and the sewing mecbanibm is thereby disconnected from the driving (year. 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 übere are no-holes to be threaded, as ia commonly the case; but the thread being wound in and out of ?v. ? rooveß > a little Bteel P la te pops down, andby the action of a spring which can 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, aud an inspection IB respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and fuller particulars can be obtained at '■■_'■" E.
