WE'RE AWARDED TO THE
GROVER Il BAKER MACHINES
At the State Fairs Of
OHIO, MICHIGAN O. ILLINOIS FOR 1861.

TT has gained its widespread popularity, and
l. its innumerable sales throughout the world,
from the following facts, which over $4,000 fam
lilies in the United States alone, who use them,
are ready to endorse:
1. It makes the only seam formed by Sew
ing Machine, in which each stitch is indepen-
IDENTIFY locked, and without dependence upon the
other stitches for strength.
2. 1t makes the only seam that will admit Of
the thread being cut at every fourth stitch, with
out injury to the seam in wear.
8. 1t lis unnecessary TO fasten the lends Of seams
made by this machine. This is doneby the ma
chine itself, without the use of the hand needle.
A. The Grover 4 Baker stitch is the only one
formed from two ordinary spools, and without
winding from the spool into shuttle from three
to five times, for the under thread
8. seam thus formed is more elastic than
any other made by sewing machine, and is
consequently very valuable in all goods that are
to be washed and stretched under the iron.
0. The machine is adapted to all varieties of
fabrics, serving each equally well, and requiring
no adjustment for any kind of sewing, other
than the adaptation of needles and thread.
Z. 1t is more easily kept in order than any 9TH
er machine, and need not be taken apart to be
oiled.
s. The machine sows common spool cotton,
silk and linen thread with equal facility.
0. The machine is so simple that an intelli-
gent child of ten years can readily learn to ope-
rate and keep it in order. IN
10. By reason Of its simplicity of construction
and ease of management, it is best adapted to
all the wants of the family.

CELEBRATED
FAMILY SEWING MACHINES!
EQUAL TO THE
BEST MA CHIMES NO w OFFERED.

HIHE desideratum, so long sought, of prac-
Il teal good double thread Sewing Machine,
at low price, has at length been reached. These
are the only cheap Machines which work with
TWO threads, and form a really durable and re-
liable stitch.
1t is considered the most simple and effective
yet introduced. 1t forms n beautiful, strong and
elastic stitch, and will not rip though every
fourth stitch be cut For simplicity of con-
struction, case of motion, strength and durabil-
ity, il is not surpassed. 1t will sew the finest
Muslin, Cambrics, Cotton and Wooden Cloth
with equal facility. BY its use the tedious and
laborious work of family sewing is rendered
pleasure and agreeable pastime.
Ithas an under feeder, the same as high priced
machines, which is very important thing in
doing all kinds of work. IL makes seam that
will not rip or ravel, though every fourth stitch
be cut.
IL will hem, stitch, bind, tuck, fell, quilt and
embroider in the most superior manner. The
same Machine, by q mere exchange of spools,
can be adapted to all kinds of work.
The seam is as elastic ms the most elastic fab
rio, that il is free from all liability to break in
washing, ironing or wear. II runs rapidly and
makes the least noise, and takes the Double Lock
Stitch, same as Grover 4 Bakers Machine.
To new operator il is the most easy to learn
as il runs either way, and can be learned in thir-
ty minutes. 1t is the most simply constructed
easily learned, and less liable to arrangements
We invite all who are in pursuit of an excel
lent machine, TO examine this by all means.--

All TION.

The public, in their eagerness to supply them
selves with sewing machines making the Gro
yer Baker stitch, must rot forget TO purchase
them of the parties who alone are authorized to
sell them. All purchasers and users of fraudu-
lent machines of this class will be visited with
certain prosecution. Those who have already
been induced to buy these fraudulent machines
can purchase license for their use, before pros
ecution, on proper application. All machines
sewing from two spools, and in which only one
needle penetrates the cloth, and having feed
which allows the material to be turned at will,
are infringements. GROVER a BAKER SIN. Co.
