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 faculty 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 loth 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, aftbb pbopeb iKSTBtfCTioir, without picking or cutting them. 9. Watching and varying the tenuous upon the threads necessary in other machines is unnecessary in this. The tenison being once adjusted on the Gbovbb and Baeeb 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 colors for this purpose It is the only machine that io th embroiders and sews perfectly. : Held 'office for the Australian Colonies— 80 COLLINS-STEEBT, EAST, MELBOURNE.
