These machines sew from two spools, az
purchased from the store, requiring no re-
winding of thread; they Hem, Fell, Gather,
and Stitch in a superior style, finishing each
seam by their own operation, without recourse
to the hand needle, as is required by other
machines. They will do bstter and cheaper
sewing than seamstress can, even if she
works for one cent. an hour, and are, unqnes-
tionably, the best Machines in the market for
family sewing, on account of their simplicity,
durability, ease of management, and adapta-
tion to all varieties of family sewing-execut-
ing either heavy or fne'work with equal facil-
lty, and without special adjustment.
As evidence of the unquestioned superiority
of their Machines, the GROVER BAKER Sew
ING MACHINE ConrASY beg leave to respectful
ly refer to the following
