Sewing Machines. NOT FOR AN AGE, BUT FOR ALL TIME! THE WORLD-RENOWNED RINGER QEWING TITACHINE SEWS THE FINEST MUSLINS, and HEAVIEST CLOTHS. Easy to Leakx. A Child cax Woek it. NEW AND VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS. pob the " New Family, " and " Medium," Machines. THE TRIPLE ACTION BALANCE WHEEL. This patented improvement adds a new feature of excellence to these popular Macliines. Some of the advantages are as follow :- 1. It enables the inexperienced to suspend the motion of the Machine while learning , the treadle action. . . 2. If the learner starts the treadle motion in tne 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: Phurtie-bobbina 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 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 Greit Britain and the C( ntinent of Europe. The legal proceedings Bgainst Kimball and Morton, Newton Wilson and Co., and Frister and Kossman, are well-known. The case of Newton and Wilson was carried before the Hou-e of Lords. The Simrer Co. won. The action against Fri-jter and (a German firm) occupied the Superior Courts seventeen days last year. The decision was altogether in favor of the Singer Company. Since that tria! no Sewing Machine Manufacturers or Dea'ers are permitted to use the name " Sinsjar n in connection with the style, ma c, or sa'e of anyMachine except those of the Singer Manufacturing Company's OWN MAX& BEWARE OP 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 BINGmjffiACHINS has the Company's name printed upon the Arm, and impressed uoon the Brass Ti ade-mark Plate. The linger Manufacturing Company's Machines are all Lock-stitch, and they wear well for more than twenty years.

KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR THR EW WHITE, H< >RIZONTAL, FEED. NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QKWLNG Tl/TACHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o " Cheapest and Beer in the word " is to be seena r 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 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. Ohviously this tends to produce very even results, and it enable* the operator to sew along the right or left edge of the fabric at pleasure. At the same time, the iirm of the machine is at, a more thiinordi nary height above the table, und tlio pressure-foot also has a lihernl amount of play given to it by the aid of a weli-cuntrived spline - . A large mass of material could therefore bo p-issoc , . over the work table, and through the machine, without the remotest chance of njuiy. The entire mechanism is <>f the most simple character, and so little friction is there that one may run the m ichino—almost without oe.ing , oor.ticiouß 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, und the 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 is displayed in the tension arrangement of the shuttle. 'i here are no holes to be threaded, as ia commonly the case ; but the thread being wound in and out of a few groovee, 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 machines are now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and fuller particulars can bo obtuined at E. W. KNOWLES, GENE EA L MbkOHANT hastings street, Napibh.
