HAVE SPECIAL CLAIMS to pub lic attention, as a very superior and valiuble assistant in household industry. That this Machine has made thousands of friends who attest Its superiority over everything else cannot be doubted ; and it is clairiied that it is only neCassary to reason upon its peculiarities to enable any person to appre ciate its advantages in the family over every othSr one in use. What these advantages are claimed to be we propose briefly 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 Machine in which each stitch is independently locked, and without dependance upon the other stltche. /or strength, and the only seam that will admit of the thread being cut at every fourth stitch without injtiry to ths s-ain in wear. It is unnecessary to fasten off tho ends of seams, this being done by the Machine itself without the use of the hand needle. fflf. 2. The Grover and Biker stitch is the only one formed from two ordinary reels, and without winding from the reel Into a shuttle f om three to Aye times for the under 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. 8. The Machine is adapted to all varieties of fabrics, sewing each equally well, and require no adjustment for any kind of sewing othe than the adaption of needles and thread, and by reason of its simplicity of conitruction and ease of management it is beat adapted to all the wants of a family. The Lock or Shuttle Stitch Machines manufactured by Grover and Baker, maklsg the seam alike on both sides of the fabric, needs little oomment, and parties desiring to invest, are respectfully requested to make enquiries of those who have tbem in use. as to their superior merits over any other Lock Stitch Machine made. Needles, Parts, Cotton, Silk, Ac., 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 Biker's S.M. Co - Machines, by those who h_ve them in use. "'l3O, and 132, Queen-street, •' Auckland, 17th March, 1876.

Away they sped with right good will, Through bush and brake, o'er plain and hill, 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; B__ journey and his business o'er, He took the road for home once more. When half way baok 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 so light and free, While I, with blisters on each toe, Have five-and-twenty mile& to go ?" Quoth Jim, " The secret you shall know How I with ease and comfort go, Dame Nature's gifts I don't abuse, And Hemus always makes my shoes.
