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. 6. It fastens both ends of the seam by-ltarvwir- ~ operation. - — " 6. 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 retain* its plumpness and beauty after washing better than any other. . 8. Its seam can be removed in altering garments, aftbs PBO7XB rraTßUcnox, without picking or cutting them. 9. Watching and varying the tenUons upon the threads necessary in other machines is unnecessary in this. The tenison being once adjusted on the Gbovbb ahd Baksb Machxhs, soy amount of sewing may be done without change. 10. It makes beautiful embroidery without any change of arrangement, simply by inserting threads of suitable sizes and oelors for thia purpose. It is the only machine that hotk embroiders and sews perfectly. Held office for the Australian Colonies— 80 COLLINS-STREET, EAST, MELBOURNE. ■'■■■' • '■ ' " JtL ; 'r-
