It sews with equal facility all fabrics, the most delicate and the heaviest, and with al kinds of thread, silk, cotton, or linen. 4. Its seam is so strong and elastic that it , never breaks, even on the bias. : i 5. It fastens both ends of the seam by its own • operation. . ! 6. Its seam, though cut at every sixth .stitch, remains, firm, and neither r«?w nor ravels in wear. 7. Its seam is more plump and beautiful, and retains its plumpness and beauty after washing better than any other. ; • 8. Its seam can be removed in altering garments, aptee pbopee rysTEtrcTioK, 'without picking or cutting them. 9. Watching and varying the tenisons upon the threads necessary in other machines is unnecessary in this. The tenison being once adjusted oh the Gkoveb and Baker Machine, any amount ! of sewing may be done without change. U _. .., ...... „ .. , 10. It makes beautiful embroidery without any change of arrangement, simply by inserting threads of suitable sizes and colors for this purpose. It is the only machine^ 'that both embroiders and sews perfectly. .; • - , I Held office for the Australian: Colonies— .80 COLLINS-STREET, EAST, ") i i- •■i>MEJ£BOTJENE. !
