Sewing Machines. NOT TOR AN AGE, BUT EOR ALL TIME! THE WORLD-RENOWNED giNGER qEWLNG TyTACHINE SEWS THE FINEST MUSLINS, and HEAVIEST CLOTHS. Easy to Learn. A Child can Work it. NEW AND VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS. ros the " New Family, " and " Medium," Machines. THE TRIPLE ACTION BALANCE WHEEL. This patented improvement adds a new feature of excellence to these popular Machines. Some of the advantages are as 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 is 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 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 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 ot 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.c, or sale of any Machine except those of the Singer Manufacturing Company's OWN MAKE.

SEWING MACHINES on the Singer system, FROM £5. J. H. GROCOTT | ANOTHER SEWING MACHINE j E. W. KNOWLES I IS THE APPOINTED AGENT ! FOR THB NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, SEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN OEWING "V/TACHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o "Cheapest and Best in the world "is to be seenattbe Warohouse of Mr E. W. Knowlbs, 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 othor varieties—that the feed plate acts on either aide of the needle. In other words, tho work is pushed along as if by two fingers Instead of one. 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, tho 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 large mass of material could therefore be passed over the worktable, 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 the machine—almost without being conscious of the fact. WheD the main part of the machine is not required to be run—aa, for instance, when shuttle bobbins are to be 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 the friction surfaces. One specially ingenious contrivance is displayed In tho tension arrangement of the shuttle. There are no holes to bo threaded, as is commonly the case; but the thread beinar wound in and out of a few grooves, a little steel plate pops down, and by the action of a spring which can he 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 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, Napisk.
