WHY THE GROVER & BAKER MACHINE , IS BEST: . 1. It is more simple, durable, and less liable to derangement than others. .<.-,•. 1 2. It sews from ordinary spools, and no rewinding of thread is necessary. . : 3. It sews with equal facility. all fabrics, th« most delicate and the heaviest, and with all kinds of thread, silk, cotton, or linen. 4^ Its seam is so strong and elastic that it never breaks, even on the bias;. A ■■„. v -.5. It fastens both ends of the seam by its own operation. •■ • ■" ; - ■;■• '■, 6i- Its seam, though cut' at every sixth stitch, remains firm, and neither runs nor ravels in wear. 7. Its seam is more plump and beautiful, and retains its plumpness and beauty after washing .better than any other. 8. Its seam can be removed in altering garments, APTEB PBOFEB ISSTBTTCTIOIT, without -picking or cutting them. - 9. Watching and varying the tenisons upon the threads necessary in other machines is unnecessary in this. The tenison being once adjusted on the Grovbb and Baker Machxne, any amount of sewing may be done without change. 10. It makes beautiful embroidery without any change of arrangement, simply by inserting threads • pf*guitable sizes and colors for . this purpose. It is ..the only machine that both embroiders and sews perfectly. Held office for the Australian Colonies— 80 COLLINS-STREET, EAST, MEL3OUBNE;
