HAVE SPECIAL CLAIMS to pub lic attention, as a very superior and valuable assistant in household industry. That this Machine has made thousands ol friends who attest its superiority over everything else cannot be doubted ; and it is claimed that it is only necessary to reason upon its peculiarities to enable any person to appre ciate its advantages in the family over every other one In use. What tbese advantages are claimed to be we propose briefly to state, that a comparison may be drawn between the Grovor and Baker and other Machines— 1, It makes tho only Beam formed by a Sewing Machine in which each stitch is independently locked, and without dependance upon the ether stitches for strength, and the only seam that will admit of the thread being cut at every fourth stitch without injury to the 8 'am in wear. It is unnecessary to fasten off the ends of seams, this being done bj 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 f om three to five times for the iinder thread. A seam thus formed is more elastic than any other made by a Sewing Machine and is con sequently very valuable in all goods that are to be washed and stretched under the iron, 3. ahe Machine 1b adapted to all varieties of fabrics, sewins? each equally well, and require no adjustment for any bind of sewing othe than the adaption of needles and thread, and byroason of its simplicity of construction and easa of management it is best adapted to all the wants of a family. The Lock or Shuttle Stitch Machines manufactured by Grover and Baker, making 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 othor Lock Stitch Machine made. Needles, Parts, Cotton, Silk, cfcc, always on hand. The following testimonials are published as samples of the many we are constantly receiving from all parts of the world, and we purpose replacing them fre quently by others, so that the public may form an idea of the Grover and Baker's S.M.

Away they sped with right good will, Through bush and brake, o'er plain and liill, But very soon the one call'd Joe Declared he could no further go. Jim's hurry -would not brook delay, So like a, shot he sped away; His journey and his btisiness o'er, He took the road for home once more. When half way back he met poor Joe, Walking along but very slow, Who when he saw that it was Jim, With rueful face thus question'd him: " Pray tell me friend how it can be, That you can walk bo light and free,' While I, with blisters on each, toe, Have five-and-twenty miles to go 1" Quoth Jim, " The secret you shall know How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemtjs always makes my shoes. We forget whether Jim wore a pair of our Men's Elastio Sides or-Balmoral Boots at 12s 6d, but they both go well. His wife has kept up to him for years, and she wears our own make Kid Elastio Sides at 10s 6d. HEMUS'S STAR~BOOT WAREHOUSE, Market Corner, Queen-street,
