THE GROVER & BAKER ELASTIC AND LOCK- STITCH SEWING MACHINES AR|3 so well known and so universally , used, that any description of their advantages is superfluous. They hem ANT WIDTH, COED, QUILT, BEAID, FELL PATHEH, TTJCK, BIND, AJfiD KMBBOIDEB, and are considered by competent judges to bt; the best Sewing Machines yet known. NEAL & CLOSE, AGENTS fob Napieb. The following are a few of the many testimonials we are constantly reoeiving, furnishing a convincing proof of their iuperiority. From the Express. Having had an opportunity for several, months past of closely inspecting the' working.pf a Grover & Baker's Sewing Machine, we have pleasure in testifying that it is adapted for every kind of work set forth in the prospeptus. It combines the charms of plain stitching with the at tractions of embroidery, in which of course the female mind especially delights. Al though the Grover & Baker's Machine is exceedingly useful for plain sewing, it is as an embroiderer that it takes its highest rank amongst its competitors, none of Whom that we know of have in this re spect attained such excellence. The Machines are, in fact, in every way! invaluable to households, and. when the immense saving of labor compared with hand-sewing is taken into consideration it i is remarkable that they are not more general M se d. 45 Albert-street, Melbourne, October 20,1868. Gentlemen,— Jlaving one of your No 26 Cabinet Sewing Deadlines iu use for nearly four years I have much pleasure in being able to speak of its excellence. , In addition to dom«stic work, we use it. for the various materials in upholstery, silk, bed ticking, drugget atd furniture leather, and find it all that can be desired It has never been out of order nor given any trouble in working since the first weok. I believe it to be the best Machine extant.—? am, gentlemen, yours, &c, D. M. G&owLEr, Li pholsterer. From "The Ararat Advertiser," There are few modern inventions of greater practical utility, or which cause so large a saving of time and labor, as the Sewing Machine. The which the Steam engine has secured to manual labor pn a large scale, the Sewing Machine has effected (only to one class of work, it i 6 true) on a large scale also. What it has achieved for women whose livelihood is earned by the needle, such as sempstresses, there needs no dissertation to prove. These machines, however, have been oi equal service in private families, saving pot only hours but days of wearying and monotonous work. Of Sewing Machines there are several varieties, differing slightly in their construction, but all effecting, inore or less, the object far which they are desigued, of saving labor. So far as we have been able to learn, the machines patented by Grover and £aker appear to Efficient; and since Mr Chad wick has been appointed agent here a large number of their machines have been disposed of in this, town and district. Still, however, opinions differ qs tQ which of the several Varieties of Sewing Machines is really the most useful, and we generally find that our |ady friends declare in favour of that machine to which they have become ac customed, all agreeing, nevertheless, that \\\e invention to them has indeed proved a few*. ■■■'■'
