BEFORE PURC EASING, TEST THE FOR IIAND AND FOOT. AMONG the innumerable makes and descriptions of SEWING MACHINES before the Public, each claiming distinctive superiority, there are yet ONLY THREE Descriptions of STITCfJES, viz. :— -I. The CHAIN (or Single Thread) Stitch. 2 TheSHUTTLE (or, so-called, "Lock") Stitch. 3. The "Grover and Baker" ELASTIC STITCH. The Chaia Stitch being superseded by the fast and permanent work of the two last described, it has to Ye further explained that all the Machines advertised as " Lockstitch " Machines, whether operating with a needle — as the Howe and the Sineer, or with a needle, bobbin, and rotary hook, as the Wheeler & "Wilson Machine — make the shuttle stitch and nothing else, and none of the infirmities of this stitch have been got rid of by the assumption of the term "Lock-Stitch." TheGROVEU & BAKRK Company (rot depreciating the shuttle-stitch for some purposes') manufacture Shuttle-Machines as well an the Grover and Baker or Elastic-Stit h Machines, but they recommend the latter as unequalled for family work, or for those kinds of work where strength as well as beauty of stitch are required, and particularly for any materials which are to be washed and ironed. A comparison of a Saam of. both kinds of sewing will -confirm the assertion that the Grover & Baker stitch, while possessing the elasticity which is deficient in* the Shuttlestitch, iB even more fa st and durable and more worthy of the term " lock-stitch "
