AMERICAN MACHINERY ABRoAD.-The London
Times and the largest English newspapers are
printed by Hoes presses. American reapers and
other agricultural implements take the lead in
England, and our sewing machines may now be
fund in every well ordered British household.
The Court Journal, in a recent issue, describes a
handsome sewing machine which has been made
for an English lady of high rank, We quote the
paragraph:
| As the sewing machine has been advanced grad
| uaiIy from purely manufacturing uses to house
hold position, and thence to an adjunct of the
| duties of refined home, Messrs. Grover & Baker
Of $50 Regent street, have wisely catered for
the supply in more elegant form, and the ma
chimes they have now brought before the public
present the appearance Of cabinets, and are made
| in various woods. This firm has just completed
| a machine, designed and ornamented expressly
for lady of rank, which surpasses, for elegance,
anything OF the kind ever seen The table and
stand are of satin wood inlaid with tulip wood.
with carved border, and richly gilt. The machine
itself is silver plated, tnlaid with pearl, and most
deliCately tinted, 1t has been pronounced, by all
who have seen it, as perfection.
There is quite controversy going on in another
English periodical The Queen, with regard to the
qualities and advantages Of the different American
sewing machines, A correspondent of the last
mentioned paper writes:
lam happy TO inform Perplexity " that have
been using one of Grover & Bakers machines fo1
the last six months. | cannot speak too highly OF
the beauty of the work, nor Of the perfect ease
with which it is used (not so hard the pedals Of
the harp) child of five years can work it. Il
" PerpleXity " will mclOse her card to the editresE
of the Queen, will have much pleasure in letting
her try my machine. GERALDINE.
