Best Sewing Machine
to be had, we present for candid consideration
the following
There are three requirements which
should be united in a Sewing Machine.
| list. Capability of doing all varieties of
| work in a perfect manner
I'd. Ease of management
Sd Durability.
| LIST. The Grover < Baker Machine combines
| these requirements IN a more eminent degree
| than any other machine. 1t viii sew from one to
| twenty thIcknesses of cloth and over one thick
ness OF lace or nainsook on to two or more thick
nesses OF ca-Sklh c'th0W change Of needie, threat
or tension, making perfect stitch on each and all
OF these fabrics, which proves that 1t possesses
the first requirement.
3D. AS 1t will sew from one to many thick
| nesses Of cloth and lace or leather, without any
change of needle tension il is rrilpRt that II
must be more easy 10 manage than other machines
that require change IN running from variety of
cloth TO another.
1t is also easier to manage than any other:
Because it has more powerful feed that holds
on to the work firmly that the operator need
not hold it stretched to avoid pickering. thus en-
dangerng breaking OF needles.
Because it is unnecessary to unsc-ow any part
of the machine to clean and oil it.
Because YOU never haze to cut the band off to
take up the stretch of leather.
Because it feeds over seams perfectly without
requiring the operator to pull the work through.
