GfcOVER&BAKEE SEWING MACHINE COMPANY, MANUFACTURERS OF ELASTIC STITCH AND "LOCK STITCH" SEWING MACHINES. THE GROVER & BAKER ELASTIC-STITCH MACHINES will hem, fell, cord, bind, tuck, gather, quilt, braid, and embroider. They are simple, durable, and not liable to derangement. They Hew from ordinary reels, and no re-winding of the thread is necessary. They sew with equal facility all fabrics, 'the most delicate and the heaviest, and with all kinds of thread, silk, cotton, or linen ; their seam is so strong and elastic that it never breaks even on the bias. They fasten both ends of the seam by their own operation. Their seam, though cut at every sixth stitch, remains firm, and neither runs nor ravels in wear. Their seam is plump and beautiful, and retains its plumpness and beauty after washing better than any other. Their seam can be removed in altering garments, after proper instruc tion, without picking or cutting them. Watching and varying the tensions upon the threads, necessary in other machines, is unnecessary in these. The tensions being once adjusted on the Grover and Baker elastic-stitch machine, any amount of sewing may be done without change. They make beautiful embroidery, and are the only machines that both embroider and sew perfectly. THE GROVER fc BAKER SHUTTLE OR LOCK-STITCH MACHINES, Which are comparatively new, combine the good points of former shuttle machines with most important improvements, making, them the most simple, perfect, efficient, and durable shuttle or "lock-stitch" machines yet introduced. Hence the universal favour and success of the machines wherever known. For all descriptions of cloth or leather work they have no equal. THE HIGHEST PREMIUMS Over all competitors, both for machines and machine work, were taken by the Grover and Baker Sewingmachine Company in 1863 and 1864, at thirty-one State and county exhibitions in' America, where all ttie*other leading machines were placed n competition. UPWARDS OF 100,000 Of these machines are in use in all parts of the ' world. " , MESSRS. WINKS le^HALL, ' ' " Auckland, * Agents.
