Miscellaneous. HAVESSPECIAL CLAIMS to. pub lic attention, as a very superior and valuable assistant in honsehold industry. That this Machine has made thousands of 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 these advantages are claimed to be wo propose bnefly to Btate, that a comparison may -be drawn between the Grover and Baker and other Machines— 1. It makes the only seam formed by a Sewing Machine 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 Beam 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 fom three to five times for the under thread. A seam thus formed is more elastic than any oth-cr made hy a Setting Machine, and is con sequently very valuable in all goods that are to he washed and stretched under the iron, . 8. Ihe Machine Is adapted to all varieties of fabrics, sewine: each equally well, and require? no adjustment (or any kind of sewing other than the adaption of n- edits aud thread, and by reason of its simplicity of construction and east* of management it is best adapted to all the wantß of a family. The Lock or Shuttle Stitch Machines manufactured by Grover and Baker, making Jthe 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 other I.oc'i Stitch Machine made. Needles, Parts, Cotton, Silk, etc., 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, £0 that the public may form an idea of the Grover and Baker's S.M. Co's Machines, by those who have them in use. " 130, and ]3:>, Queen-street' " Auckland, 17th Maich, 1876.
