Sewing Machines. NOT FOR AN AGE, BUT FOR ALL TIME! THE WORLD-RENOWNED QINGBR OEWING TiyACHINE SEWS THE FINEST MUSLINS, and HEAVIEST CLOTHS. Easy; to Lsaen. A Child can Work it. NEW AND VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS. for the " New Family, " and " Medium," Machines. THE TRIPLE ACTION BALANCE WHEEL. This patented improvement adds a new feature of i;X\ eiluncH to these popular Machines. Some of the lulvnntittjes are as follow :- 1. It enables tho inexperienced to suspend the motion of the Machine while warning the tread'e nation. 2. If the learner starts the treadle motion in the wrong direc ion, it will not work the Machino, but as soon is it takes the right direction it puta the Machine in motion 3 When winding shuttle-bobbins the action of the Machine is suspended, preventing disarrangements of the threads and untiecesfiaty wear. This Mechanical principle on which Singer's Machines are built can hardly he improved, and as a proof of this it need only be said that it is about tbe 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 Rotsman, are well-known. Tbe case of Newton and Wilson was carried before the Houpe 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 stylo, 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 irade repute of their own, use our name " SINGER," to palm off Counterfeit Machines of Inferior Construction and Manufacture, Every SINGER~M& CHINE has the Company's name printed upon the Arm, and impresse i upon the Brass Ti ade-mark Plate.

KNOWLES IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TUB NEW WHITE, H< 'RIZONTAL, FEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN OKWING IMTACHINES This, the latest claimant for the the position o " Cheapest and Best in tho world " is to be seen a'- the Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowlbs. Hastings-street, and unquedtionably the many ingenious points displayed in tho const ruction render it well worth examining. Asa 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 othor words, the 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 sow along tho right or left edge of the fabric at pleasure. At the same time, the arm of the machine ia at a more than ordi nary 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 sprinc. A large mass of material could therefore be passod over tho work table, and through tho machine, without the remotest cbance of rijury. The ontire mechanism is of the moßt simple character, and so little friction is there that one may run the mschine— almost without oeing conscious of the fact. When the main part of tho machine is not required to be ruu—as, 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, tho mere turning of a screw effects a refitting of the friction surfaces. One specially ingenious contrivance is displayed in tho tension arrangement of tho shuttle. 'I bore aro no holes to bo threaded, as is commonly the case ; but the thread beiuer 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, The machines are now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Price lists, etc., and fuller particulars can bo obtained at E. VV. KNOWLES, Genebal Meechant IHASTINGS STREET, Napibu.
