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 wilt remain unchanged,

GROVER & BAKER SEWING MACHINE 



has one advantage which 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 coarsest description. 

 Its adaptation for 



FAMILY WORK, 



is thus remarkable, and gives it a superiority over every other 

 style of machine in the market. 



FROM THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN 



of Nov. S, 1859, which we think is fully entitled to be conclu- 

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

 sidered the l>est 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 simply add that we have had 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 (1869) of the Sdentijic American, we published an 

 illustration showing the mechanical principles of the Grover 

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

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

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



There are constantly kept on exhibition machines of the 

 different patterns and styles of finish, for the convenience of 

 purchasers. Young ladles, experienced in their use and 

 courteous in their manners, are always on hand to receive 

 lady vlritorB or purchasers.
