BEFORE PURCHASING, TEST THE GROYER & BAKER'S CELEBRATED PREMIUM Se-wing 1 IMaicliiiiL©®^ FOR HAND AND FOOT. AMONG the innumerable makes and descriptions of SEWING MACHINES before the Public, each claiming distinctive superiority, there are yet ONLY TEREU descriptions of STITCHES, viz .— 1. The CHAIN (or Single Thread) Stitch. 2. The SHUTTLE (or, so-called " Lock") Stitch 3. The " Grover and Baker" ELASTIC STITCH' The Chain Stitch being superseded by the fast and permanent work of the two last described, it has to be further explained that Alii the Machines advertised as " Lock Stitch" Machines, whether operating with a needle —as the Howe and the Singer, or with a needle, bobbin, and rotary hook, as the Wheeler and Wilson Machine —make the shuttle-stitch and nothing else, and none of the infirmities of this stitch have been got rid of by the assumption of the term " LockStitch," The GROVER and BAKER Company (not. deprecating the shuttle-stitoh for some purposes) manufacture Shuttle Maohines as well as the G-rover and Baker or Elastic-Stitch Machines, but they recommend the latter as unequalled for family work, or for those kinds of work where strength as well as beauty of stitch are required, and particularly for any materials which are to be washed and ironed. A comparison of a seam of both kinds of sewing will confirm the assertion that the Grover and Baker stitch, while possessing the elasticity which is deficient in \the Shuttle-stitch, is even more fast and durable and more worthy of the term " look-stitch." t^° NOTICE.
