From the very flattering manner in which our Machines 

 have been received by the public, resulting in the sale of 

 upwards of 



60,000, 



We are led to believe that our endeavors to manufacture A 

 RELIABLE MACHINE have been ai)preciated. We take this 

 opportunity to remark that the policy will remain unchanged, 

 and that 



EVERY MACHINE SOLD BY US 



We shall not hesitate to warrant in every respect. 



THB 



GROYER & BAKER SEWING MACHINE 



has one advantage which Is worthy of especial attention, In 

 addition to the peculiar cliiiracter of the stitch, and that is its 

 adaptation to either lijilit or medium heavy worlc. The 

 Machine whiclj at one moment is used on 



The Most Delicate Fabric, 



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

 facility on cottunades and toweb of the coarsest description. 

 Its adaptation fur 



FAMILY WORK, 



is thus remarkable, an<l gives it a superiority over every other 

 style of machine in ttie market. 



FROM THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN 



of Nov. 6, IS.IO, which we think is fully entitled to be conclu- 

 sive, from tlie high character of that paper, wliich is con- 

 sidered the l)est authority on all such subjects as that under 

 consideration. 



The inacliines raanufacttired by this company are too well 

 known by the public at large to need any recommendations at 

 our hands, and we will sim])ly add that we have had one of 

 them in use in our family for some time i>a.*t, and it is con- 

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

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

 volume (l'S59) of the Scieiitijic Ameiivan, we published an 



illustration showing the mecliunical principles of the Grover 



4 Uakcr machine. By reference to that illustration, the form 

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

 well its its superior cla.-'licity, will l)e readily understood." 



There are constantly kept on e.\hibitioii machines of the 

 different patterns and styles of finish, for tlie convenience of 



purchasers. Yount; ladies, experienced in their use and 



courteous in their uianiier.s, are always on hand to receive 

 lady visitors or purchasers.
