BEFORE PURCHASING, TEST THE GROVEE & BAKER'S CELEBRATED : PREMIUM Sewing 1 'JMaebiiiea, . FOR HAND AND FOOT. AMONG the innumerable makes and descriptions of SE WING- MACHINES before the Public, each claiming distinctive superiority, there are yet ONLY THREE 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 The " Grover and Baker" ELASTIC STITCH" The Chain Stitch being superseded by the fast and permanent work of the two last described, it has to >c further explained that am 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 GROYER and BAKER Company (not. deprecating the shuttle-stitoh for: some purposes) manufacture Shuttle Machines as well as the Grover » and Baker or Elastic-Sfcitoh Machines, but they recommend the latter as unequalled for family work, or for thoso 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 Beam of both (kinds of sewing will confirm the assertion that thei Grover and Baker stitch, while possessing the elasticity which is deficient in Uhe Shuttle-stitch, is even more fast and j durable and more worthy of the; term " look-stitoh." ■ : ..,—. i. . y Hand Machines, as well as Tible Maohines, SemiCabinet, and Full Cabinet, in Walnut-wood and Mahogany, various styles, may be had at d REDUCED PRICES ON EASY TERMS, WITH Ali. ; Accessories belonging, and Instructions for working them, of 'the Company's SOLE AGENT, "■; W.
