and places Of bueincss Of their principal COM
pctItors in the Sewing Machine line, and urge
those seeking perfect machine to avail them |
kelvcs OF this List to make their own compari- |
SONS. Aside from the novelty Of this mode Of
advertising, nothing could be flirer OF more
liberal; and it most certrinly eyinces that the |
Grover & Baker Company do not fear the re-
suits. Since this company hare recently
brought out series Of Shuttle Stitch machines,
claimed to be superior to any machine max
ing TINT stitch, in addition to their celebrated
machines making the Grover i Baker stitch,
they certainly seem to have COVERED hewholo
ground, We doubt very much If the mode Of
advertising adopted By this house will be very
often infringed upon.
