Bewing Machines. NOT FQll AN AGE, BUT FOR ALL TIME! THE WORLD-RENOWNED OINGER JEWING TITACHINE SEWS THE FTNKST MUSLINS, and HEAVIEST CLOTHS. Easy to Learn. A Child can 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 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 takeß 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 this it need only be said that it is about the only Machine imitators have endeavored to copy, not only in America, but alao 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 Hou?e of Lords. The Singer Co. won. The action against Frister and Rossman (a German firm), occupied the Superior Courts seventepn 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 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 BINGER~MACHINS has the Company's name printed upon the Arm, and impressed upon the Brass Tjade-mark Plate. The ringer Manufacturing Machines are all Lock-stitch, and they wear well for more than twenty years. ACCESSORIES GIVEN WITH EACH MACHINE.

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 IyTACHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o "Cheapest and Best in the world" is to be seenattbe Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowi.es, 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 hps 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. Iv other words, the v/ork is pushed as if by two fingers instead of one. Obvioußly this t ;nds to produce very oven results, and it enables the operator to sew along the right or left edge of tho fabric at pleanure. At the same time, the a.m of the machine is at a more than ordi nary height above the table, aud the pressure-foot nlso has a libei J amount of play jjiveu to it by the aid of a well-contrived sprint. A largo mass of material could therefore be posset', over the worktable, and through the machine, without the remotest chance of njiuy. The entire mechanism is of the most simple character, and so little friction is there that one may run the machine—almost without being conscious of the fact. When the rmiin part of the machine is not required to be run as, for instance, when shuttle bobbins uro to be wound —a little spring csitch is thrown back, aud tho sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected from the driving (fear. Further, when any given bearing may in the course of time become worn, tho 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. '1 here are no holes to be threaded, as 13 commonly the ease ; but the thread being wound in and out of a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, and by the action of a spring which can bo 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 be obtained at E. W. KNOWLES, Gbnbbal Mkechant HASTINGS STREET, Napibr.
