BEFORE PURCHASING, TEST -■■.,,. . THE ' ' . FOR HAND AND FOOT. A MONO- the innumerable makes and JJL descriptions of ;SEWING MACHINES before the Public, each claiming distinctive superiority, Mete- are yet ONLY THREE Descriptions of STITCHES,viz. :— 1. The CHAIN (or Single Thread) Stitch. 2 The SHUTTLE (or, so-called, "Lock") Stitch. . 3. The '"Grover and Baker" ELASTIC .-, STITCH. The Ch^aia Stitch being, superseded by the f fast and ! permanent work of the two last described, it has to he further explained that all , the Machines advertised as " Lockstitch "Ma chineß, whether operating with a needle— as the Howe and the Singer, or with a needle, bobbin, and rotary hook, as the Wheeler & Wilson Machine — make the shut-tle-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." , The GKOVBk & BAKRR Company (rot depreciating; the shuttle-stitch forborne purposes) manufacture Shuttle-Machines as well as the Grover and Baker or Ela«tic-Stit h .Machines, but they recommend the latter as unequalled tor 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 Seam of both kinds of sewing will * confirm the assertion that the Grover & Baker stitch, while possessing the elasticity which is deficient in the Shuttlestitch, is even more fast and durable and more worthy of Ihe term " lock-Btitoh."
