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 aU fabrics, the A most delicate and the heaviest, and with all kinds I of thread, silk, cptton, or linen. 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, i 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 gar- : ment*, axtir " props* instruction, without picking er cutting them. . 9. Watching and varying the tenisons upon the threads necessary in other machine^is unnecessary in this. The tenison being once adjusted on the Grover and Baker 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 embroiders and sews perfectly.
