Miscellaneous. fs____-P I*_«V "*_____§? ■ n HAYEISPECIAL CLAIMS to pub lic attention, as a very superior and valu-ble assistant in household industry. That this Machine has made thousands of friends who attest its superiority over everything elso cannot be doubted ; and it ,8 claimed ih-t it is only neCsssary to reason upon its peculiarities to enable any person to appre ciate its advantages in the family over every other one in use. What ttieEe advantages are claimed to be we propose biiefly to state, that a comparison may be drawn between the Grover and Baker and other Machines— 1. It makes the only seam formed by a Sewing M.chine in which each stitch is independently locked, and without dependance upon the other stitches for strength, and the only seam that will admit of the thread being cut at every fourth stitch without injury to the s am in we_r. It is unnecessary to fasten off the ends of scamp, 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 frcm the reel into a shuttle t om three to five times for the under thread. A seam Urns 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. -he Machine is adapted to all varietieso fabrics, etwkg each equally well, and require no fdjuslment/or any kind of sewing oihe than the adaption of n* edits and thread, and by reason of its simplicity of construction and easo 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 scam alike on both sides of the fabric, needs little comment, and parties desiring to invest, are lespec.fmly requested to make enquiries of those who have tt,em in ÜBe, as to their superior merits over a_y other Loci Stitch Machine made. Needles, Parts, Cotton, Silk, <_c.,' always on. hand. The following testimonials are published as samples of tha many we are constantly receiving from all parts of the world, and we purpose replacing them fie qnently by e.thers, f.o that the public may form an idea of the Grover and Biker's S.M.
