And that at the ' '■ PARIS EXPOSITION, 1867, CEOSS OP THB ■ LEGION OF HONOR Was conferred upon the Sepresentative . of the GROVER & BAKER'S MACHINES. N. B. — It is advertised that a Contemporary Sewing Machine, was awarded the Gold Medal at the late Exposition at Paris, but at the office ; of the Grover and Bakei S.M. Co., 80 CoUinsj street, Melbourne, may be seen a certified copy of , the Official Award List of the Imperial Comj mission which shews that no gold medal was awarded to any Sewing Machine whatever. ; GROVER & BAKER'S AttTi'ltira A TTETO ' PREMIUM SEWING MACHINES Experience proves there are only two valuable Sewing Machine stitches : THE GEOVEE AND BAKEE STITCH AND THE SHUTTLE STITCH.

Silk, Cotton, Oil, &c, for the use of the machines in large or small quantities on the lowest terms.

Her Majesty the Empress of Russia, Her Majesty the Queen of Bavaria. These Machines, and the work done on them, have never failed to receive the first premium over all competitors wherever exhibited. WHY THE GEOVEE & BAKEE MA.CBJNE IS BEST: 1. It is more simple, durable, and less liable to derangement than others. 2. It sews from ordinary spools, and no rewinding of thread is necessary. ! 3. It sews with equal facility all fabrics, the 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. 5. It fastens ioth ends of the seam by its own operation. 6. Its seam, though cut at every Bixth 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' alterinjg gar-' ments, afteb pbopeb instbxtotiok, 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 G-BovEtt and Bakes Machine, any amount. i of sewing may be done without change. { 10. It makes beautiful embroidery without any change of arrangement, simply by inserting i threads of suitable sizes and oolor& for this purpose. It is the only machine . that ioth embroiders and sews perfectly. . , He*d office for the Australian Colonies — 80 COLLINS-STEEET, EAST, MELBOURNE.
