Opposite Holt's Timber Yard, Hastings-street, Napier ANOTHER SEWING MACHINE E. W. KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT VOR THR NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without-, fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING IVTACHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o " Cheapest and Besf in the world " is to be seen at the Warehouse of Mr E. W. Kkowles, 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 therefor*; no signification oi importance. But in the White machine 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 aloDg as if by two fingers Instead of one. Obviously this teuds 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 pressurefect also has a liberal ;;.u._,unt of play given to it by aid of a well-contrivod spi-insr. A large mass o material could therefore be pnssed 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 rim tho machine—almost without being conscious of the fact. When the main part of tho machine is not required to be run—as, for instance, when shuttlo bobbins are to be wound —a little spring cr.tch is thrown back, and the sewing mechanism is thereby disconnected from t'\e 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 the friction surface* Uno specially ingenious contrivance is displayed in the tension arrangement of the shuttle. There are no holo3 to be threaded, as i 3 commonly the case ; but the thread being wound in and out of a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, andby the action of a spring which can be made light or heavy at will, keci fa 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 soMcitrd, when Price lists, etc., and fuller partlcvV.ru can be obtained at B. \V~.
