Sewing Machines. NOT EOR AN AGE, BUT FOR ALL TIME! THE WORLD-RENOWNED OINGER JEWING 1%/TACHINE SEWS THE FINEST MUSLINS, and HEAVIEST CLOTHS. Easy to Learn. A Child can Work it. NEW AND VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS. rou 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 tho edvantages are as follow :- 1. It enables the inexperienced to suspend the motion of the Machine while learning Vhe treadle action. 2. If the learner starts the treadle motion in the wrong direction, it will not work the Machine, but as soon \s 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 be improved, and as a proof of thifl it need oiily 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. Tbe 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" in connection with the style, or sale 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 SINGBR~MACHINE has the Company's name printed upon the Arm, and Impressed upon the Brass Tiade-mark Plate. The Singer Manufacturing Company's Machines are all Lock-stitch, and they wear well for more than twenty years.

Kr?OWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT I'OR TUB NEW WHITE, H< IRIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN OEWING -ft/TACHINES This, the latest claimant for tho the position o "Cheapest and Best in the world "is to be seonatthe Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowlks, 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 tho term has therefore no signification of importance. But in the White machine there is this marked improvement on many other varieties—that tho feed plate acts on either side of the noodle. In other words, tho work is pushed along as if by two fingers instead of one. Obviously this tends to produco very even results, and it enables the oporator to sow along the right or left edge of tho fabric at ploasurr. At tho same time, the arm of the machine is at a more than ordinary height above the table, and tho pressure-foot also has a liberal amount of play given to It by the aid of a well-contrived sprimr. A largo mass of material could therefore be passed over tbe worktable, and through the machine, without tho remotest chance of njury. The entire mechanism is of tho most simple character, and so little friction is there that one may run the machine—almost without being conscious of the fact. Whet) tho main part of the machine is not requtrod to bo run—as, for instance, when shuttle bobbins are to be wound —a little spring catch is thrown back, end tho Bowing mechanism is thereby disconnec od from tho driving wear. Further, when any given bearing may in tho course of time become worn, tho mere turning of a screw effects a refitting c." the friction surfaces. One specially ingenious contrivance is displayed in the tension arrangement of the shuttle. 1 hero are no holes to be threaded, as ia commonly the caso; but the thread being wound in and out of a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, and by tho action of a spring w rich can be made light or heavy at will, keeps just tho desired strain on the under thread. Tho tension for the upper thread is also automatic. Tho machines are now on view, and an inspection iB respectfully solicited, when Price lists, otc, and fuller particulars can be obtained at E. W. KNOWLES, Gknbbal Mkboiiant HASTINGS STREET, Natibu.
