SEWING MACHI MES!

THE GROVER 4 BAKER ELASTIC
| i Stitch Sewing Machines are superior to all
others, for the following reasons:
l. They sew direct from the sp0ols. an require
no rewindiRg of thread.
q They are more easily understood and used.
and less liable to arrangement than other ma
chimes
8. They are capable of executing perfectly.
without change Of adjustment, a much greater
variety of work than other machines.
4. The stitch made BY these machines is much
more firm. elastic and durable, especially upon
articles which require to be washed and ironed.
than any other stitch.
s. This stitch. owing to the manner in which
the under thread is iuwrought, Is much the
most plump and beautiful in use, and retains
this plumpness and beauty even upon articles
frequently washed and ironed until they are
worn out.
6. The structure of the seam is such that.
though il be cut or broken at intervals of only
few stitches, it will neither open, run or ravel,
but remains firm and durable.
Z. Unlike other machines. these fasten both
ends Of the seam by their own operation.
8. With these machines, while silk is used
upon the right or face side of the seam, cotton
may be used upon the other side without lessen
ing the strength or durability Of the seam. This
can be done on no other machine, and ID a great
saving upon all articles stitched or made up
with silk.
.. These machines, in addition to their supe-
rior merits as instruments for sewing, by 4
change of adjustment, easily learned and prac-
tieed, execute the most beautiful and perma-
nent embroidery and ornamental work.
