Sewing Machines. Have special claims to public attention as a VERY SUPERIOR AND VALUABLE ASSISTANT IN HOUSEHOLD INDUSTRY. That this Machine has made thousands of friends who attest its superiority over anything elso be doubted; and it is claimed that it is only necessary to reason upon its peculiarities to enable any person to appreciate its advantages in the family over every other one in use. "What these advantages are claimed to bo we propose briefly to state, that a may be drown between the Grover Baker and other Machines 1. It makes the only scam formed by a Sewing Machine in whicU each stitch is independently locked, and without dependence upon the other stitches for strength, and tho only seam that will admit of the thread being cut at every fourth stitch without injury to the seam in wear. It is unnecessary to fasten off the ends of seams, this being done by the Machine itself without the use of the hand needle. 2. The Grover and Baker stitch is the only one formed from two ordinary reels, and without winding from the reel into a shuttle from three to five times for the under thread. A seam thus formed is more elastic than any other made by a Sewing Machine, and t> conscqnenthj very valuable m all goods that are to • be washed and strctchcd wider the iron. 3. The Machine is adapted to all varieties of fabrics, sewing each equally well, and requires no adjustment for any kind of sewing 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. Tho LOCK or SHUTTLE STITCH MACHINES manufactured by Grover aud Baker, making tho seam nlike 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 M&chine'made.
