It sews with equal facility all fabrics, the most delicate and the heaviest, and with all kinda of thread, silk, cotton, or linen. jt T«.» ffonm -" -"—*»*— "R — miJ clootie -that it never breaks, even on the bias. 6. It fastens loth ends of the seam by ita owi^ ___ operation. 6. Its seam, though cut at every sixth stitch, remains firm, and neither runt nor ravelt 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, atteb pbopeb iirsTßtroTiojr, without picking or cutting them. 9. Watching and varying tiie tonisons upon the threads necessary in other machines is unnecessary in this. The tenison being once adjusted on the Gboveb asd Baxeb Machine, any 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 oolors for thie purpose. It is the only maohine that both embroiders and sews perfectly. Held office for the Australian Colonies—* ' 80 COLLINS-STREET, EAST, MELBOURNE,
