Sewing Machines. .TCI TOR AN AGE, BUT POR ALL TIME! THE WORLD-RENOWNED DINGER EWIN& IVfACHINE SEWS THE EINRST MUSLINS, and HEAVIEST CLOTHS. Easy to Learn. 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 excellenCH 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 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 this it need only be said thttt it is about the only Machine imitators have endeavored to copy, not only in America, but also in Great Britain and tho Continent of Europe. The lejral 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 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 wag 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 sa'o of any Machine except those of the Singer Manufacturing Company's OWN MAKE.

KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TUB NEW WHITE, H< IRIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST 3F ALL KNOWN OEWING Ty/TACHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o : ' Cheapest and Best in the world " is to be seena r - the Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowlbs. Hastings-street, md unquestionably the many ingenious points display ed in the const ruction render it well worth jxamining. As a matter of fact the horizontal feed s common to many machines, and the term has iherefore no signification of importance. But in the iVhite machine there is this marked improvement )n many other varieties—that the feed plate acts on »ither side of the needle. In other words, the work s pushed along as if by two fingers instead of one. Obviously this tends to produce very even results, md it enables the operator to sew along the right >r left edge of the fabric at pleasure. At the same ;ime, the arm of the machine is at a more than ordi lary height above the table, and the pressure-foot ilso has a liberal amount of play given to it by the lid of a well-contrived sprine\ A large mass of naterial could therefore be passed over the workable, and through the machine, without the ronotest chance of njuiy. The entire mechanism is )f the most simple character, and so little friction is here that one may run the machine—almost withmt being conscious of the fact. Wl en '„he main larfc of the machine is not required to bo run—as, or instance, when shuttle bobbins are to be wound -a little spring catch is thrown back, and the sesvng mechanism is thereby disconnected from the Iriving- gear. Further, when any given bearing nay in the course of time become worn, the mere urning of a screw effects a refitting of the friction mrfaces. One specially ingenious contrivance is lisplayed in tbe tension arrangement of the shuttle. I'hcro aro no holes to be threaded, as is commonly he case; but the thread being wound in and out of i few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, and by he action of a spring which can be made light or leavyatwill, keeps just the desired strain on the inder thread. The tension for the upper thread is ilso automatic. The machines are now on view, and an inspection r respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and uller particulars can be obtained at E. W. KNOWLES, General Merchant HASTINGS STREfaT, Nafibh.
