The GROVER & BAKER Elastic
Stitch Sewing Machines are superior to
all others ior the following reasons:
J.. They sew with two threads direct from
the spool, AID require no rcwndin@.
=. They are more easily understood and
used, aud less liable TO arrangement thau 9th
er machines.
s. They are capable of executing perfectly
without change of adjustment, "a much great
er variety o. work than other machines.
i. The stitch made ty these machines is
much more firm, elastic, and durable, espcci-
ally upon articles which require to be washed
and ironed, than any other stitch
5. This stitch, owing TO the manner in
which the nder thread Is inwrought, is much
the most PLUMB and beautifu, in use, and re-
;ains :his p.umpness and beauty even upon
articles frequently washed AND ironcd until
they are worn cat
&. The structure Of The seam is sGch thai,
though it be cut or broken at intervals Of only
q few stitches, il will icthcr open, rua, nor
ravcl, but remains firm and durable.
:. Unlike other machines, these i.:stcn botI
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, cot
ton may be used upon the otlcr side without
lcsscu!ng the strength or durability Of the
seam This can be done on no o;her machine,
and il a great saving upon ali articles s:isca-
el or made up with silk.
9. These machines, in addition to their SUI
pcric- merits as instruments for sewing. by a
change of adjustment. easily learned and
pracriscd execute the most beautiful and per-
manent embroidery and OF is,mental work.
