The Economy of Using
THE
FRANKLIN
Family Sewing Machine.

These machines make the celebrated GROVER &
BAKER STITCH, which has taken the highest premi-
um at the Illinois State Fair, in September last, at the
United States Fair in st. LOUIS, in 1860, and at the
principle State Fairs throughout the country.
Competent Judges gave a decision in favor OF this
stitch, on account of its great strength and adaptation to
all kinds offamily and manufacturing purposes.
The following Table will show the difference in favor
OF Sewing Machines over thee method of stitching by
hand. In the working of these Machines there is not
only a great saving of labor and time, besides adding
greatly 90 the healthfulness of the employment but the
stitch is much stronger, more elastic, and less liable to
rip or ravel than the stitch made with shultles and
