TO THE PUBLIC.

Ny attention called to-day advertisement which ap
peared In morning Che Picayune agent in th
city for the sale Of the Grover Bakers Sewing Machines
Portions Of that advertisement excited my
those portions in which said that Other Machines re-
quire several pages Of printed instructions possession
Of the TO enable them work their Machines and
that those other Machines DO worked without the a,
pad tThe italics my own) Now have too much respec
for the honor csndo and fair dealing of the agent in this city
for the sale Grover Baker Sewing Machines to
that he could would be induced to raise Grover
Sewing Machines in the estimation of the public by apy
unfair means, by any attempt to ipjue the we-earued
reputation Of the SLOAT & WEEDS SEWING MA.
CHIMES. trust there is mistakes in this sdyer
stiement Had the respected agent of Grover Bakers Sew
ing Mschines stated in his advertisement that Wheeler
Tsons Sering Machines required several pages Of
to enable the operators them to any tcor and that tes
are The only Machines that hare the objectionable cumbersome
and obnoxious leather pad he roud hare stated hat teas
rect and na he and erry else base erer seen or used
Wheeler y Hon's Machines knoe be The reputation
of tho sLOAT and the WEEDS Sewing Machines is now so
conspicuous that like all shining marks they have become the
target of manufacturer of Machines who
compete with them field will repeat before co,,ny
this card that mean no dsrepec the Agent the Grover
Baker Machines and still believe there is mistake in his
Neutrality-suspicious. which he cannot be cognizant Of.
One Of the prominent features the SLAT Sewing
IT, that does away with the Of the obnoxious Pad and
hence Its infinite superiority Wheeler Wilson's Machines
AS many PARTIES unacquanted in these matters NAV be hum
plugged BY the flaming advertisements Of the Wheeler Will
sons Sewing Machines will quote the printed pamphet
of the manufacturers the drecons for using the objection
able "Pad." Here they are: .e 5-5'a.
Special Observations Concerning the Pad.
There is scarcely anything apparently more Insignificant
and yet Of greater than the pad large portion
Of the difficulties experienced operating the machine
arises from their ignorance of its purpose.
The pad small strip Of leather piece of iron prec.
ing from under the hook Its object retain the thread on
the nook till another stitch by the point of the
hook taking the thread from the needle When the pad ia
the proper shape and thickness the thread held on the hook
snt the notch the outside edge hook passes the pad
The thread then thrown off pad too thin the
is thrown of the hook before reaching the NOTCH causing the
thread to catch and angs round point Of the hook and
breaking the thread When the pad thick the thread is
held too long and leads similar result boicases the
thread will inevitably break In nine of ten the
of is owing entirely to want Or care in
keeping the pad in proper order.
The pad should be beveled slantpg on the under
side to have thin edge towards the machine The leather of
which it made should be of tough pabe nature and
the smooth or uncut side should be uppemos hook
When pad rough the thread apt break in passing over
it. drop or two Of oil will keep and smooth and is
frequently all that Is needed when persons cannot for
the breaking Of the thread
when new pad is inserted, it should be drawn in tightly
which can be done with pair Of small pliers Should the pad
be at first little too thick press against the hook
can be atened in its place pnchng firmly with the pliers
or pressing down the inside edge with the screw drvern
trust after the above expose and explanation that the
SLoAT and the WEEDS Sewing Machines will stand before
the public sans peur Ct sans reproehe.
