• Sowing Ei&ehineo. NOT EOR AN AGE, BUT FOR ALL TIME! THE WORLD -RENOWNED OINGER OEWING T4/TACHINE SEWS THE EINRST MUSLINS, and HEAVIEST CLOTHS. Easy to Learn. A Child can Work it. NEW AND VALUABLE IMPROVEMENTS. foe 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 tread'e action. 2. If the learner starts the treadle motion in tbe wrong direction, it will not work the Machine, but as soon \s it takes the right direction it puts the Machine in motion. 3. When winding Bhuttle-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 Groat 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 aud 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 of the Singer Company. Since that trial no Sewing Machine Manufacturers or Dealers are permitted to use tho name " Singer " in connection with the stylo, ma.c, or sale of any Machine except those of the Singer Manufacturing Company's OWN MAKE. BEWARE OF PERSONS who having no good trade repute of their own, übo our name "SINGER," to palm off Counterfeit Machines of inferior Construction and Manufacture, Every BINcSe"maCHINB has the Company's name printed upon the Arm, and Impressed upon the Brass Ti ade-mark Plate. The finger Manufacturing Company's Machines are all Lock-stitch, and they wear woll for more than twenty years. ACCESSORIES GIVEN WITH EACH MACHINE.

GROCOTT, ANOTHER SEWING MACHINE E. w. knowles IS THE APPOINTED AGENT FOR TIIK NEW WHITE, HORIZONTAL, PEED, NOISELESS, EASY RUNNING, (And without fear of contradiction) THE BEST OF ALL KNOWN QEWING "jl/TACHINES This, the latest claimant for the tho position o " Cheapest and Best in the word " is to be seen a', the Warehouse of Mr E. W. Knowles, Hastings-street, and unquestionably the many ingenious points displayed in the construction render it well worth examining. As a matter of fact tbo horizontal feed is common to many machines, and the term has thorefore 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 ono. Obviously this tends to produce very oven results, and it enables tho operator to sew along tho right or left edge of tho fabric at pleasure. At tho same time, the arm of the machine is at a moro thanordi nary height above the table, and the prossurefoot also has a liberal amount of play given to it by tho aid of a well-contrived spring. A largo mass cf material could thoreforo be p.-.ssod over the work table, and through tho machine, without tho remotest chance of njury. Tho entire mouhanisra is of the most simple character, and so little friction is thoro that ono may run the machine—almoßt without doing conscious of the fact. Whon tho main part of tho machine is not required to bo run—as, for instance, whon shnttlo bobbins aro to bo wound —a little spring catch is thrown back, and tho sowing mechanism is thereby disconnected from the driving gear. Further, whon any given bearing may In tho courso of time become worn, tho mere turning of a screw effects a refltting of the friction surfaces. Ono specially ingenious contrivance is displayed in tho tension arrangement of the shutlXo. Thoi'o aro no holes to be threaded, as is commonly tho cado ; but, the thread boiuur wound in and out of a few grooves, a little scoel plato pops down, andby tho action of a spring which can be made light or heavy at-will, keeps juat the desired Htrain on the u r .,*c> t'ui-.ii.i. The tension for tho upper thread is also automatic. The machines aro now on view, and an inspection is respectfully solicited, when Vrico lists, etc., and fuller particulars can be obtained at E. W. KNOWLES, Gbneeal Mbbchant HASTINGS STREET, Napibb.
