NEW AND VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS. toe the " New Family, " and " Medium," .....„,.; Machines. THE TRIPLE ACTION BALANCE WHEEL. This patented imorovemont adds a new feature of excellence to these'popular Machines. Some of the advantages are aa 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 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 tbo threads and unnecessary wear. This Mechanical principle on which Singer's Machines are built can hardly bo 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 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 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 styla, 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 ofi Counterfeit Machines of inferior Construction and Manufacture. Every SINGER MACHINE has the Company's naui9 printed upon the Arm, and impressed upon the Brass Tiade-mark Plate. The _inger Manufacturing Company _ Machines are all Lock-stitch, and they wear well for more than twenty years. ACOES3OEIES GIVEN 'WITH EACH HACHINB.

SEWING; MACHINES on tho Singer system, FROM £o. J. H. GROCOTT, ANOTHER SEWING MACHINE E. W. KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TUB NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED. NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING "JUTACHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o "Cheapest aud Best in the world "is to be seen at the Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowi,_s, 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 ot the needle. In other words, the work is pushed along as if by two fingers instead of one. Obviously this t.nds to produce very even results, and it enables tho operator to sew along tho right or left edge of the fabric at pleasure. At the same time, the arm of the machine is at a more than ordi nary height above tho tabic, and the pressure-foot also has a liberal amount of play given to it by the aid of a well-contrived sprinsr. A largo mass of material could therefore be passed over the work table, and through the machine, without the remotest chance of njury. The entire mechanism is of the most simple character, and so little friction is there that one may run tho mnchine— almost without being conscious of the fact. When the main part of the machine is not required to be rue—as, tor instance, when shuttle bobbins are to ho wound —a little spring catch is thrown back, and the sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected from tho driving gear. Further, when any given boaring 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 tho tension arrangement of the ahuttXc. There are io 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 the action of a spring which can be mado light or heavy at will, keeps just the desired strain on the under thread. The tension for the upper thread is also automatic. ThoiEjiehfn.B r-r-c now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and fuller particulars can be obtained at E. W. KNOWLES, Genebal Mkechant hastings street, Napibu.
