Miscellaneous. mSM y gtwQ^^___i_x/L___l_B. HAYE!SPECIAL CLAIMS to pub lic attention, as a very superior and valuable assistant in household industry. That this Machine has made thousands of friends who attest its superiority over everything else cannot bo 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 we propose briefly to state, that a comparison may be drawn between the Grover and Baker and other Machines— 1, It makes the only .earn 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 tbe thread being cut at every fourth stitch without injury to the B'nm ln wear. It is unnecessary to fasten oft the ends of seams, this being done bj the Machine itself without tho ueo 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 f om throe to five times for the under thread. A scam 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, S. -he Machine is adapted to all varietieso fabrics, -cwir.ereach equally well, ar.d require no adjustment for any kind of sewing othe than tho adaption of n'.edles and thread, arid by reascn 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 seam alike.on both sides of the fabric, needs little comment, and parties desirir.g to invest, are respectfully requested to make enquiries of those who have them in use. as to their superior merits over any other Lock Stitch Machine made.
