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 ™r. o f. iWiVat.a and the heaviest, and with all kinds of thread, silk, cotton, or Jinen. 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 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, AFTBB PBOPEE INSTETTCTIOSf, without picking or cutting them. 9. Watching and varying the tenisons upon the threads necessary in other machines is unnecessary in this. The t«nison being once adjusted on the Gboveb aud Bakee Machine, any amount 3f sewing may be done without change. 10. It makes beautiful embroidery without my change of arrangement, simply by inserting threads of suitable sizes and colors for this urpose. It is the only machine that both jmbroiders and sews perfectly. Head office for the Australian [Colonies — 80 OOLLINS-STEEET, EAST, MELBOURNE; /
