THE GROVES- & BAKER SEWING MACpiNE COMPANY Announce that the honor has been conferred upon them of receiving the Appointment of Purveyors of Sewing Machines to Her Majesty the Empress of the French, Her Majesty the Queen of Spain, His Majesty the Emperor of Brazil, And that, by command, they have supplied their Machines to Her Majesty the Empress of Bussia, Her Majesty the Queen of Bavaria, These Machines, and the work done on them , have never failed to receive the first premium. o\er all competitors wherever exhibited. WHY THE GROYER & BAKER MACHINE 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, silkTcottbh, or hnen. 4. Its seam is so strong and elastic that it never breaks, even on the bias. 5. It fastens both ends of the seam by its own operation. 6. Its seam, though cut at every sixth stitch, remains firm, and neither runs not 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 gar* ments, afteb ieopeb nrsTBTTCTioir, ■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-eovee and Bakee Machine, any amount of sewing may be done without change. 10. It makes beautiful embroidery without any change of arrangement, Bimply by inserting threads of suitable sizes' and oolors for this purpose. It is' the only machine . that hot h embroiders and sews perfectly. : Held office for the Australian Colonies— 80 COLLINS-STREET, EAST, MELBOURNE.
