i Miscellaneous. nS^'d-A:^^Af^\ O'AVE'SPECIAL CLAIMS to pub- XJL He attention, as a very superior and valuable assistant in household industry. That this Machine has made tfcousands of friends who attest its superiority over everything else cannot be doubted ; and it is claimed tint it is only necsssary to reason upon its peculiaiities to enablo any peison to appre ciate its advantages in the family over cvety other one in use. What tfcef c ad'/antages are claimed to be wo propose bi icily to ftate, tbat a comparison may be drawn between tho Grovor and Baker and other Machines— 1. It makes tbo only team formed by a Sewing Mr. chine in which each stitch is independently locked, and without depeiidance upon the other stitches for strength, and the only seam that will admit of the thread being cut at evftiy fourth stitch without injury to the b urn in wear. It is unnecessary to fasten off thn ends of seam?, this being done bj the Machine itself without the me of the hand needle ' 2, The Grover and Biker stitch is the only one f rmtdfrom two ordinary reels, and without winding from the reel lt.to a shuttle f om three to Aye times for tho under thread. A seam thus formed is more elastic tha.n any other made by a Sewing Machine and is con sequently very valuable Jn all goods that are io be washed and stretched under ihe iron, 3. Oho Machine is stapled to all varietieso fabrics, sewii geadi equally well, and require so (.djuttmenfc-.or acy kind of sewing oihe than the adaption of n edl< s aud thread, and by reason of its simplicity of cbmtruction and easß of mana?( ment it .3 bss. adapted to all tho wants of a family. The Lock or Shuttle Stitch.Machines manufactured by Grover and Baker, making the scam alike on both sides of the fabric, needs little comment, aud parties desiring to invest are respectfu;ly requested to make enquiries of thoEe who have them iv use. ss to their superior merits over auy other Lock Stitch Machine made. Needles, Parts, Cotton, Silk, Jjc, alviays on hand. The following testimonials ate published as samples of the m?.ny we are constantly receiving from all parts of the world, and we purpose replacing them fre quently by 'there, to that the public may fo»m an idea of the Grover and Biker's S M.
