FAMILY AND PLANTATION SEWING. 



From the very flattering manner in which our Machines 

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

 upwards of 



50,000, 



We are led to believe that our endeavors to Manufacture A 

 RELIABLE MACHINE have been appreciated. 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. 



GROVER & BAKER SEWING MACHINE 



hag one advantage widch is worthy of especial attention, in 

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

 adaptation to either light 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 coanest description. 

 Its adaptation for 



FAMILY WORK, 



Is thus remarkable, and pvea it a superiority over every other 

 style of machine in the market. 



FROM THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN 



of Nov. 6, 1S59, which we think is fully entitled to be conclu- 

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

 sidered the best authority on ail 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 simply add that we have had one of 

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

 sidered the mostu.seful article in the house next to the cradle, 

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

 volume (1859) of the Scientific Am^erican, we published an 

 illustration showing tlie mechanical principles of the Grovcr 

 k Baker macliine. By reference to that llluirtration, the form 

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

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



There are constantly kept on exhibition machines of the 

 dififerent patterns and styles of finish, for the convenience of 

 Iiurchasers. Young ladies, experienced in their use and 

 courteous in their manners, are always on band to receive 

 lady visitors or purchasers.
