TH; Gil OVER & BAKER ELASTIC AND LOCK-STITCH SEWING MACHINES \RE so well known and so universally used, that any description of their advantages is superfluous. HEY HI 51 AND WIDTH, CORD, QUILT, BRMD, KELL, GATHER, TUCK, BIND, AND embu'vdkh, and are conidered by competent judges to be the best Sew ing Machines yet known. The following are a few of the many testimonials we are constantly receiving, furnishing a convincing proof ot their superiority. From the “Ararat Advertiser.”—There are few modern inventions of greater practical utility, or which cause so large a saving of time null ibor, as the Sewing Machine, The benefit which the steam engine has secured to manual labor on a larges ca'e, the Sewing Machine has effected (only to one class of work, itistrue) onalarges cale also. What it has achieved for women whose livelihood is earned by the needle, such as s mpstressos, milliners, <fee., there needs no dissertation to prove. These machines, however, have been of equal service in private families, saving not only hours hut days of wearying and monotonous work. Of Sewing Machines there are several varieties, differing slightly in their construction, hut all affecting, more or less, the object for which they are designe , that of saving labor, So far as we have been able to learn, th machines patented hy Grover and Baker appear to be the simplest, most economica , and most efficient ; and since Mr Chadwick has been appointed agent here a large number of their machines have been disposed ot in this town an I district. Still however, opinions differ as to which of the several varieties of Sewing Machines is really the most useful, and we generally find that our la ly friends declare in favor of that machine to which they have been accustomed, all agreeing, nevertheless, that the invention of them has indeed proved a boon. . . . Richmon •, October 22, 186?. I have much pleasure in forwarding a testimonial in favor of the Grover and Baker Sewing Machine, which I have had in use for the last four years. It is a most useful machine for a family, an! very easily learnt. Josephine pannlfex. MAT MESON, Brothers. Sole Agents for Dunedin, Minton House, Princes-street. Wholesa'e Agents, NEWRLL k Co.
