Sewing Machines. NOT FOR AN AGE, BUT FOR ALL TIME! THE WORLD-RENOWNED QINGEj; QEWING T^/TACHINE SEWS THE FINEST MUSLINS, and HEAVIEST CLOTHS. Easy to Learn. A Child can Work it. NEW AND VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS. tor the " New Family, " and " Medium," Machines. T TTE TRIPLE ACTION BALANCE WHEEL. This patented improvement adds a new feature of excellence to these popular Machines. Some of the advantages wo rt_ follow :- 1. It csnables tho inexperienced to suspend the motion of the Machine whito learning the tread'e action. 2. If the learner starts the treadle motion in the wrong direction, it will not work the Machine, but :s3 soon is it tu.kc3 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 thia it need only bo said that it is about the j only Machine imitators have endeavored to copy, not only in America, but also in Great Britain and I the Continent of Europe. The lejjal 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. Tho 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 tho Singer Company. Since that trial no Sewing Machine Manufacturers or Dealers are permitted to use the name " Singer " in connection with the stylo, ma>e, or sale of any Machine except those of tho 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 SINGER MACHINE . has the Company's name printed upon the Arm, and impressed upon the Bi ass Tj ade-mark Plate.

SEWING MACHINES on the Singer system. FROM £5. J. H. GEOCOTT 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 -jl/TACHINES This, the latest claimant for tho the position o '' Cheapest and Beat in the worl d " is to bo seen at tr c Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowmjs, Hastings-street, and unquestionably the many ingenious points displayed in tho 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 one. Obviously this tends to produce veiy even results, and it enables the operator to sew along tho right or left edge of the fabric at pleasure. At tho same time, the arm of the machine is at a more than ordinary height abovo the table, and the pressure-foot also has a liberal amount of play giveu to it by the aid of a wcll-contrivcd sprintr. A large man of material could therefore bo passed over the worktable, and through the machine, without the remotest chance of njury. The entire mechauism is of the most simple character, and so littlo friction is there that ono may run tho machine—almost without being conscious ot the fact. When the main part of the machlno is not required io bo run—as, for instance, when shuttle bobbirs are to bo wound —a littlo spiing catch is thrown back, aid the sowing mechanism is therehy disconnected from the driving gear. Further, when any given beai'ug may In tho course of time become worn, tho mere turning of a screw effects a refitting of the friction 3iirfaccs. Ono specially ingenious c.nirivance is displayed In the tension arrangement of the shut Wo. There arc no holes to be threaded, as Is commonly i tho case; but the thread being wound In and out of ' a few grooves, a littlo stool plate pops down, and by tho action of a spring which can bo made light or heavy at will, keeps just tho desired strain on tho under thread. The tension for tho upper thread is ] also automatic. ( Tho machlnos are now on view, and an inspection Is respectfully solicitod, when Price lists, etc., and ' fuller particulars can bo obtained at ' E. W.
