Celebrated" 'PREMIUM' rpHE GKOVER & BAKER ELASTIC ANP LOCK-STITCH SEWING MACHINES Arc so well known and so universally used, that any description of their advantages is superfluous. They hem any width, cord, quilt, braid, fell, gather, tuck, bind, and ebibroider, and are considered by competent judges to be the best Sewing Machines yet known. NEAL & CLOSE, Agents for Kapieb. The following are a few of the many testimonials the Proprietors are constantly receiving, furnishing a convincing proof of the superiority of their Machines:— From " The Ararat Advertiser." There are few modern inventions of greater practical utility, or which cause so large a saving of time and labor, as the Viewing Machine. The benefit which the Bteam engine has secured to manual labor on a large scale, the Sewing Machine has effected (only to one class of work, it is true) on a lar.e scale also. What it has nchie>ed for women whose livelihood is earned by the needle, such as sempstresses, there needs no dissert tion to prove. These machine?, howov r, have been of equal service in p ivate families, saving not only hours but tiajs ot wearjing and monotonous work. Ot" Sewing Machines there are several varieties, differing slightly in their construction, but all effect.ng, more rr less, the object for which they are deigned, that of saving labor. So far as we have ben able to learn, the machines patented by Grover a>'d Baker appear to be the sunniest, most economical, and most efficient,; and since Mr Chadwick has been appointed agent here a large number of their machines have been deposed of in this tJwn and district. Still however, opinions differ as to which of tinseveral varieties of trowing Machines is really the nicer useful, ami wo generally find tnai our lady friends declare in favour of thai machine to which they have become accus touted, all agreeing, nevertheless, that the invention to tiiem has indeeu proved a boon. From " The Pleasant Creek Chronicle." The efficacy and general excellence of G rover and Baker's hJastic-Stiteh Family Sewing Machines have been signally tested by a purchaser connected with the ollice of thL journal. In every respect it has answered the account given in the advertisement of its capabilities—the hemming, stitching, and felling being uncommonly good. For embroioery a better machine could not beibund; and in that respect it may take precede: ce of ail other machines very easily. Altogether the Grower and Baker Sewing Machine is an indispensable au» in the domestic economy of any hpu>e«hold, and those who purchase it will not be disappoint d. Steom Printing Office, 97 Link- C Uiiiß street East, Melbourne, Oct. 22,1868. Gentleman,—The strong Shuttle Machine, furnithed to n y printii.g ollice, ha* given complete satisfaction, and though it Las be u sobj cted to rather rough m«age iu sewing pamphlets and similar work, it has not gone out ol order in anyway.
