FAMILY AND FLAMATION SEWIXG. 



From the very flattering manner in which our Machines 

 have been received by the public, resulting ia the uie of 

 ux>ward8 of 



5 0,000, 



We are led to believe that our endeavors to manufacture A 

 RELIABLE MACHINE have been appreciated. We take this 

 oi)purtunity to remark that the policy will remain unchanged, 

 and that 



EVERY MACIIIN'E SOLD BY US 



We shall not hesitate to warrant in eyery respect. 



GROVER & BAKER SEWING MACHINE 



has one advantage which is worthy of especial attention, in 

 addition to the peculiar character of the stitch, and that isiti 

 adaptation to either liglit or medium heavy work. The 

 Machine which at one moment is used on 



The Most Delicate Fabric, 



In a few moments after can be brought to bear with equal 

 facility on cottonades and towels of the coarsest description. 

 Its adaptation for 



P A M I L Y W R K , 



is thus remarkable, and gives it a laperlority over ^^^^rj other 

 style of machine in the market, 



FROM THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN 



of Nov. 5, 1559, which we think is fully entitled to be conclu- 

 sive, from the high character of that paper, which is con- 

 sidered the best authority on all such subjects as that under 

 consideration. 



The machines manufactured by this company are too well 

 known by the public at large to need any recommendations at 

 our hands, and we will simi)ly add tliat we have hiid one of 

 them in use in our family for some time past, and it is con- 

 sidered the most useful article in the house next to the cradle, 

 and no less indispensable than that. In No. 2 of the present 

 volume (If'^O) of the Scientijie American, we published an 

 illustration showing the mechanical principles of the Orover 

 k linker machine. By reference to that illustration, the form 

 of the stitch will be seen, and its security from ripping, aa 

 well as its superior elasticity, will be readily understood." 



There are constantly kept on exhibition machines of the 

 different patterns and styles of finish, for the convenience of 

 I)urchaser9. Young ladies, experienced In their use and 

 courteous in their manners, are always on hand to receive 

 lady visitors or purchasers.-
