Sewing Machines. K)T FOR AN AGE, BUT EOR ALL TIME! THE WORLD-RENOWNED DINGER JEWING TyTACHINE EWS THE FINEST MUSLINS, and HEAVIEST CLOTHS. ]asy to Learn. A Child can Work it. TEW AND VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS. or the " New Family, " and " Medium," Machines. )HE TRIPLE ACTION BALANCE WHEEL. This patented improvement adds a new feature of xcellence to these popular Machines. Some of the dvantages aro as follow :- 1. It enables the inexperienced to suspend the lotion of the Machine while learning the treadle ction. 2. If the learner starts the treadle motion in the Tong direction, it will not work the Machine, but s soon is it takes the right direction it pute tho lachine in motion. 3. When winding shuttle-bobbins the action of the lachine is suspended, preventing disarrangements f the threads and unnecessary wear. This Mechanical principle on which Singer's lachines are built can hardly be improved, and as a roof of this it need only be said that it is about the nly Machine imitators have endeavored to copy, iot only in America, but also in Great Britain and he Continent of Europe. Tho legal proceedings gainst Kimball and Morton, Newton Wilson and !0., and Frister and Rossman, are well-known. The ase of Newton and Wilson was carried before the louse of Lords, The Singer Co. won. The action against Frister and Rossman (a German ;rm), occupied the Superior Courts seventeen days ist year. The decision was altogether in favor of he Singer Company. Since tbat trial no Sewing Machine Manufacturers ■r Dealers are permitted to use the name " Singer " a connection with the style, ma .c, or ea'e of any lachine except those of the Singer Manufacturing tomjjany's OWN MAKE.

KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TUB TEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED. NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST iF ALL KNOWN QEWING IyTACHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o Cheapest and Best in the world" is to be seen at the Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowles, Hastings-street, nd unquestionably the many ingenious points dislayed in tho construction render it well worth xamining. As a matter of fact the horizontal feed I common to many machines, and the term has lerefore no signification of importance. But in the 7hite 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 I pushed along as if by two fingers instead of one. bviously this tends to produce very .even results, ad it enables tho operator to sew along the right r left edge of tho fabric at pleasure. At the same me, the arm of the machine is at a moro than ordinary height above the table, and the pressure-foot [so has a liberal amount of play given to it by tho id of a well-contrived sprine\ A large mass of laterial could therefore be passed over the work' ible, and through tho machine, without the relotest chance of njury. The entire mechanism is t the most simple character, aud so little friction is lere that one may run the machine—almost withal being conscious of the fact. When tho main art of tho machine is not required to be run—as, >r instance, when shuttle bobbins are to be wound -a little spring catch is thrown back, and the sewig mechanism is thereby disconnected from the riving gear. Further, when any given bearing lay in the course of time become worn, the mere lrning of a screw effects a refitting of tho friction lrfaces. One specially ingenious contrivance is isplayed in the tension arrangement of the shuttle, here arc no holes to be threaded, as ia commonly \ ie case ; but the thread being wound in and out of few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, and by j ie action of a spring which can be made light or eavy at will, keeps just the desired strain on the nder thread. The tension for the upper thread is iSO automatic. : The machines aro now on view, and an inspection i respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and iller particulars can be obtained at E. W. KNOWLES, GBN-BAIi MeEOHANU IHASTINGS STREET, Napibr.
