It combines the charms of plain stitching with the attractions of embroidery, inwhich of course the femalemind especialy delights. Although the Grover and Baker’s machine is exceedingly useful for plain sewing, it is an embroiderer that it takes its highest rank among its competitors, none of whom that we know of having attained such excellence. The machines are, in fact, I in every way invaluable to households, and when the immense saving of labor compared with hand-sewing is taken into consideration, it is remarkable that they are not more ! generally used.” . . . “No. 45, Adelaidestreet, Melbourne, October 20, 1808. - Gentlemen, —Having one of your No. 26 Cabinet Sewing Machines in use for nearly four years, I have much pleasure in being able to speak of its excellence. In addition to domestic work, we use it for the various materials in upholstery, silk, bed-ticking, drugget, and furniture leather, and find it all that can be desired. It has never been out of order nor given any trouble in working from the first week, and I believe it to he the best machine extant. 1 am, gentlemen, Yours, &c., D. M. Crowley, upholsterer.
