WHY THE GROVER & 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, 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 bj 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, apteb pbopsb ikstbttctiow, -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 Geoveb abtd Bakeb 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 this purpose It is the. only, machine that both smbroiders and sews perfectly.
