to LEND on Freehold Security. A. BROUGH, Solicitor, Clyde. THE GROVER & BAKER ELASTIC AND LOCK-STITCH SEWING MACHINES ARE so ■well known and so universally used that any description of advantages is superfluous. They hem ANY WIDTH, CORD, QUILT, BRAID, FELL, GATHER, TUCK, BIND, AND EMBROIDER, and are considered by competent judges to be the best Sewing Machines yet known. Wholesale Agents for the Australian Colonies, NEWELL & CO., 114, Collins-street West, MELBOURNE. Agents for Dunedin, MATHESON,iBEO?HEES, Princes-street. The following are some of the many testimonials we are constantly receiving, furnishing a convincing proof of their superiority. From “ The Wagga Wagga Express.” Within the past six months a number of the Grover and Baker Sewing Machines have found their way into this district, and as we gather from their purchasers, all appear to be held in the highest estimation. To the uninitiated, the rapidity with which they run down a long seam, and join neatly together any two pieces of cloth or other fabrics that may be submitted to their needles, which under the old system of hand-work would have taken hours to accomplish, seems perfectly marvellous. Some little difficulties are often encountered in first using these machines, but these, with a little practice and experience, are soon overcome, and their general superiority and effectiveness in all kinds of work are then readily appreciated. Melbourne, October 19, ISCB. Mrs. 1). desiring to comply with your request of giving her opinion of the machine she had of you, I have been solicited by her to do so on her behalf, and to say that her expedtations of its utility and handiness have been quite surpassed, found it easy to learn even the embroidery- and other fancy as well as heavy works, had no trouble with the machine, and broke but one needle through carelessness ; and concluded her remarks, with great emphasis, “ I should not like to be again without one.” I am, Yours truly, GUSTAVE EAMMAN.
