Sewing Machines. NOT FOE AN AGE, BUT FOR ALL TIME! THE WORLD-RENOWNED aiNGER JEWING TITACHINE SEWS THE FINEST MUSLINS, and HEAVIEST CLOTHS. Easy to Learn, A Child can Work it. NEW AND VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS. fob the " New Family, " and " Medium," Machines. THE TRIPLE ACTION BALANCE WHEEL. This patented improvement adrls a new feature of excellence to these popular Machines. Some of tho advantages are as follow :- 1. It enables tho inexperienced to suspend the motion of tho 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 aa soon as it takes the right direction it puts tho Machine in motion. 3. When winding 1 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 aro 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 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. Tho 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 jo, 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 BmGBRM/LOHINB has the Company's name printed upon the Arm, and impressed upon the Brass Ti ade-mark Plate. The Singer Manufacturing Company's Machines are all Lock-stitch, and they wear well for more than twenty years.

TERTICAL FEED &? /$& VERTICA FEED VERTICAL FEED <£r VERTICAL FEED AT LARGE & TOWNLBY'S 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 -jyTACHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o "Cheapest and Best in the world "is to be seenattho Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowles, Hastings-street, and unquestionably the many ingenious points disJ played 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 of the needle. In other words, the work is pushed along as if by two fingers instead of ono. Obviously this tends to produce very even results, and it enables the operator to sew along the right or left edge of the fabric at pleasure. At the same time, the arm of the machine is at a more than ordinary height above the table, and the pressure-foot also has a liberal amount of play given to it by the aid of a well-contrived sprintr. A largo mass of material could therefore be passed over tho worktable, and through the machine, without the remotest chance of njuiy. 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 main pa. t of the machine is not required to be run—as, for instance, when shuttle bobbins are to bo wound —a "little spring catch is thrown back, and the sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected from the driving gear. Further, when any given bearing may In the course of time become worn, the mere turning of a screw effects a refitting of tho friction sus Taces. One specially ingenious contrivance is displayed in the tension arrangement of tho shuttle. There are no holes to be threaded, as ia commonly the case ; 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. Tho 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, General Merchant hastings street, Napibk. Wardrop & Go. JOEL'S SPARKLING T\ UNEDIN ALES SOLE AGENTS, HAWKE'S BAY, WARDROP AND CO F. GRAHAM, (Lato of Watson & Co.)
