Sewing Maohines. - •JJAVE to public VERY SUPERIOR AND VALUABLE ASSISTANT IN HOUSEHOLD INDUSTRY. That this Machine has made thousands of friendjwho attest its superiority over anything else cannot be doubted; and it is claimed that it is only necessary to reasen upon its peculiarities to enable any person to appreciate its advantages in the family over every other one iu use. What these advantages are claimed to bo we propose briefly to state, that a comparison may be drawn between tho Grover & Baker and other Machines :— 1. It makes the only seam formed by a Sewinis Machine in whicii each stitch is independently locked, and without dependence upon tie other stitches for strength, and the onfyselm that will admit of the thread beinc cnt«t everj- fourth stitch without injury to the seam in wear. It is unnecessary to fasten off the ends of seams, this being done bv thA Machine Itself without the use of the hair! needle. 2. The Grover and Baker stitch is theonlvone formed from two ordinary reels, and without winding from the reel into a shuttle from three to uvo times for the under thread. A scam thus formed is more ctastic than am other made bxj a Sating Machine, and is conseqiumtlV wry valuable m all goods that an to be washed and stretched under the iron. S. The Machine is adapted to all varieties of fabrics, sowing each equally well, and requires no adjustment for any kind of sowing other thau the adaption of needles and thread and by reason of its simplicity of construction and ease of management it is best adapted to all the wants of a family. The LOCK or SHUTTLE STITCH MACBIKES manufactured by Grover and Baker, makinc the seam alike on both sides of the fabric, needs little comment, and parties desiring to invest are respectfully requested to make enquiries of those who have them in use as to their superior merits over any other Lock Stitch.
