TO THE PUBLIC.

-
Ny attention called to-day advertisement which
pssred In morning paper Pcayune 81 the agent IN this
city for the sale Of the Grover Bakers Sewing Machines
Portions Of that Advertisement excited my astonishnent
mean those portions in which Is said that other Machines
qure several Of printed Instructions be In possession
Of the operators TO enable them to work their Machines and
that those other Machines be worked without the leather
pad Tbe italics my own Now, have too much respect
for the honor candor and fair dealing Of the agent in this city
for the sae Grover Baker Sewing Machines suppose
that he could would be induced Bakers
Sewing Machines In the estimation Of the public by any
unfair means, by attempt TO njure the weleaned
reputation Of the SLOAT 4 WEEDS SEWING MA
CHIMES trust there il mistakes in this adver-
siemen Had the respected agent Of Grover Bakers Sew
ing Mschines stated In his advertisement that Wheeler T.
Wilson's Seeing Machines required pages Instructions
TO enable the operators them to do any cok and that they
are the only Adehnes that hare the Objectionable cumbersome
and obnoxious leather pad he wod hare stated hat
rect and wha he and euery else ho hare used
Wheeler f. Wilson'S Machines knou be rus The reputation
of tho SLoAT and the WEEDS Sewing Machines is
conspicuous that like all shining Marks they the
target of every mannacurer other Machines who
compete with them far field will repeat before closing
this card that mean dsrepect the Agent of the Grover
Baker Machines and still believe there is amsake In his
advertisement-one which he cannot be cognizsnt Of.
One Of the prominent features in the SLoAT Sewing Machine
is that does away with the Of the obnoxious Pad
hence its infinite superiority Wheeler Wilson'S Machines
AS many parties uuacquained in these matters may be hum
plugged by the flaming advertisements Of the Wheeler Will
sons Sewing Machines will quote printed pamphlet
of the manufacturers the rectons for using the objection
able "Pad.n Here they are:
Special Observations Concerning the Pad.
There is scarcely anything apparently Insignificant
and yet Of greater than the pad large portion
Of the difficulties experienced by operating the machine
arises from their ignorance Of its purpose.
The pad is small strip of leather piece of iron project
Ing from under the hook Its object is retain on
the hook till another stitch commenced by the point Of the
hook taking the thread from needle When the pad Is Of
the proper shape and thickness the thread held the
an the notch the outside edge of the hook passes the pad
The thread then thrown Off If the pad thin the thread
is thrown OF the hook before reaching the notch causing
thread to catch and ange round the point of the hook
breaking the thread When the pad is thick
held too long and leads similar result; both cases. the
thread will inevitably break In instances out Of en the
Of hreadreang owing entirely to want or care in
keeping the pad in proper order.
The pad should be beveed off, antng on the under
sde to have thin edge towards the machine The leather
which it is made should be Of tough piebe nature and
the smooth or uncut side should be uppemo the hook
When pad rough the thread apt break passing over
It, drop or two Of oil will keep soft smooth and is
frequently all that needed when persons account for
the breaking of the thread.
when pad is inserted, 1t 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 atiened in its place by pinchng firmly the pliers
or pressing down tho inside edge with the driver"
trust after the above expose and explanation that the
sLoAT and the WEEDS Sewing Machines will stand before
the public sans peur ct sans reproche. =a
