Sewing Machines. NOT FOR AN AGF, BUT FOR ALL TIME! THE WORLD-RENOWNED DINGER JEWING ly/TACHINE SEWS THE FINEST MUSLINS, and HEAVIEST CLOTHS. East to Learn. A can Wokk it. NEW AND VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS. fob the " New Family, " and " Medium," Machines. THE TRIPLE ACTION BALANCE WHEEL. This patented improvement adds a new feature of excellence to these populac y-'cMnen. Some of the Bdv»nt.nges are as follow :- . : 1. It enables the inexperienced to. suspend the motion of the Machine while learning the tread'.e action. 2. If the learnor starts the.treadle motion in the wrong direction, it will not work the Machine, but as soon is it takes the right' direction it put 3 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 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 Houfo of Lords, The Singer Co. won. The action against Frister and Ro3Bman (a German firm), occupied the Superior Courts seventeen days last year. The decision was altogether in favor of the Singer Company.

SEWING MACHINES on the Singer system, FJ2OM £5. J. H. GROCOTTANOTHER SEWING MACHINE E. W. KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT - FOR ran NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN O EWING IUT ACHINES 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. Knowlks, Hastings-street, and unquestionably the many ingenious points displayed in the consi ruction render it well worth examining. Ad a inatterof 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 olt.lier side of the needle. In other words, the work is pushed along as if by two fingers instead of one. Obviously this toudH to produce very even results, and It onables the operator to sew along the right or left edjjo of the fabric at pleasure. At tho same time, the arm ol the machine is at a more than ordi- l nary height above the table, and the pressure-foot also has a liberal amount of play given to it by the aid of a wcll-contrivcd sprintr. A large mass of material could therefore bo passed over the worktable, and through the machine, without the remotest cbauce of njury. The entire mechanism is I of the most simple character, and bo little friction is there that one may run the machine—almost without being conscious of the fact. WheD the main . part of the machine is not required to be run—as, for instance, when shuttle bobbins nre to be wound —a little spring catch ia thrown back, and the sewing mechanism is thoreby 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 the friction surfaces. One specially ingenious contrivance is *■ displayed in the tension arrangement of the shuttle., There are no holes to be threaded, as is commonly the case ; but the thread beiDcf wound in and out of' a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, and by the action of a spring which can be made light or * heavy at will, keeps just the desired strain on the under thread. The tension for the upper thread is also automatic. The machines are now on viow, and an inspection ia respectfully solicited, when Prico lists, etc., and fuller partculara can be obtained at ' _ E.
