Sewing Machines. NOT FOR AN AGE, BUT FOR ALL TIME! THE WORLD-RENOWNED RINGER IyTACHINE SEWS THE FINEST MUSLINS, and HEAVIEST CLOTHS. Easy to Leaen. A Child can Work it. NEW AND VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS. cor 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 tho inexperienced to suspend the motion of the Machine while learning the treadle 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 wear. This Mechanical principle on which Singer's Machines are built can hardly bo 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 and Co., and Frister and Rossman, are well-known. The case of Newton and Wilson was carried before tho 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 " in connection with the stylo, ma..c, or sate of any Machine except 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 SINGSR~MACHINB has the Company's name printed upon the Arm, and Impressed upon the Brass Tiade-mark Plate. _ The Bioger Manufacturing Company's Machines are all Lock-stitch, and they wear well for more than twenty years.

SEWING MACHINES on the Singer system, prom £5. J. H. 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 OEWING IY/TACHINES This, tho latest claimant for the the position o " Cheapest and Best in the world " is to be seen at the Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowlbs, 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 mauy machines, and the term has therefore no signification of importance. But in the White machine thero 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 instoad of one. Obviously this tends to produce very even results, and it enables the operator to sow along the right or left edgo of tho fabric at pleasure. At the same time, the arm of the machine is at a more than ordinary height above the table, and the pressure-foot also has a liberal amount of play given to it by the aid of a well-contrived sprinc. A large mass of material could therefore be pnssed over the worktable, and through the machine, without the remotest chance of njury. The entire mechanism is of the most simple character, and bo little friction is there that ono may run the machine— almost without being conscious of the fact. When the main part of tho machine is not required to be run—as, for instance, when shuttle bobbins aro to be wound —a little Bpring catch is thrown back, and the sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected from the driving gear. Further, when any given bearing may in tho course of time become worn, the more turning of a screw effects a refitting of the friction surfaces. One specially ingenious contrivance is displayed In tho tension arrangement of the shuttle. There are no holes to be threaded, as ia commonly the case; but the thread beimc 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 desired strain on the under thread. The tension for the upper thread Is also automatic. The machinos are now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and fuller particulars can be obtained at E. W.
