That this Machine has made thousands of friends who attest its superiority over everything else cannot be doubted ; and it is claimed ih*t His only necsssary to reason upon its peculiarities to enable any person to appre ciate its advantages in the fumily over every other one in use. What tbeee advantages are claimed to bo we propose biiefly to ttate, that a comparison may be drawn totween the Grover and .Baker and other Machines — 3, It mates the only peam formed by a Sewing Mhdiino in which each stitch is independently lccked, and without depondar.ee upon the other stitches for strength, and the only seam that will iirimit of the thread being cut at r-vy fourth gtitch without injury to the b i.in in wear. It is unncccsaaiy to fasten off the ends of Fpam», this being done b> the Machine itself without the ute of the hand needle 2, The Grover and B»ber stitch is the odlv one f from t^o ordinary reels, and without winding frum the reel ioto a shuttle f om tt.ree to five times for the under thread. A scam tints formal is more elastic than any other made hy a Raining Machine, and is con scqucntly very valuable in all goods that are to he washed and sketched tinder the iron, S. 9he Machine is ar'spted to all 4 varieties o fabrics, scwirq-each equally wnll/aiid require no adjustment for any kind of sewing othe than the adaption of needif-s ard thread, and by reasnn of its simplicity of construction and ease 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 respecifu'ly requested to make enquiries of those who have tliem in use. ss to their tuperior merits over any other Lock Stitch Machine made.
