Celebrated! Premium -TIHE GRGVEB, & BAKER ELASTIC AND LOCK-STITCH SEWING MACHINES Arc so well known and so universally used, that any description of their advantages is superfluous. They hem any width, cobd, quilt, braid, fell, GATHER, TUCK, BIND, and EMBROIDER, and are considered by competent judges to be the beat Sewing Machines yet known. NEAL& CLOSE, Agents fob Napier. The following are a few of the many testimonials the Proprietors are constantly receiving, furnishing a convincing proof of the superiority of their Machines:— Prom " 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 benefit which the steam engine has secured to manual labor on a large scale, the Sewing Machine has effected (only to- one class of work, it is 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 of equal service in p\ ivate families, saving not only hours but clays of wearying and monotonous work. Of Sewing Machines there are several varieties, differing slightly in their const ruction, but all effecting, more or less, the object for which they are designed, that of saving labor. So far as we have been able to learn, the machines patented by Grover and Baker appear to be the simplest, most economical, and most efficient; and since Mr Chadwick has been appointed agent here a large number of their machines have been disposed of in this town and 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 lady friends declare in favour of that machine to which they have become accustomed, all agreeing, nevertheless, that the invention to them has indeed proved a boon. From " The Pleasant Creek Chronicle." The efficacy and general excellence of Grover and Baker's Elastic-Stitch Family Sewing Machines have been signally tested by a purchaser connected with the office of this journal. In every respect it has answered the account given in the advertisement of its capabilities—the hemming, stitching, and felling being uncommonly good. For embroidery a better machine could not befound ; and in that ;espect. it may take precedence of all other machines very easily. Altogether the Grover and Baker Sewing Machiue is an indispensable aid in the domestic economy of any house-hold, and who purchase it will not be disappointed. ®Wxm*i*& (NON-MERCUKIAL.)
