Mrs. DIR. McCready,s 80
Mnah; So, nine years, a Grover & Ba-
ns faa;I,, In: d upon it have done all kinds
=, "a hnsyar ing for the house, for my children
ss hra;J ID, besides great deal of fancy work,
CO. ing, quilting, and embroidering. Du-
lias all that time my machine has never need
:" repair, except when | had the tension alter
ed, and it is good now as it was the first day
| bought it. "
Mrs. DIR. W hitting gives the following reasons
for the superiority of the Grover Baker ma
chimes over all others:
1.-THE elasticity of the stitch, and ripping
when it is required; and also the stitch tasten-
ing itself, as you leave off and also, the ma
chine may be used for embroidering proposes !;
and therein consists the superiority over other
machines.
" The stitch will not break when stretched,
as the others do, and neither does it draw the
work.
al find this stitch will wear as long as the
garments >do-outwear the garments, in fact.
" | can use it from the thickest wooden cloth
to Nansotk muslin.'
Mrs. Alice B. Whipple, wife of Rev. Mr.. Whip
pie, Secretary of the American Missionary
Association, testifes
Q. AS the result of your observation and ex-
| perience, what machine do you think best as q
| general family Instrument
A. The Grover & Baker, decidedly.
@. State the reasons, such of them as occur
| to you, for this opinion.
| A. think the stitch is stronger stitch than
that of any other machine have used, and it
! seems to me much more simple in its manage

tage is the ease with which the seam is ripped
when necessary to do SO; and think that the
| work, by an experienced person, ON O Grover q
| Baker machine, is better than the work by such
person on any other machine; it requires more
| skill to work other machines than the Grover &
| Baker.
| Mrs. General Buel says she prefers the Grover
Baker machine over all others.
"On account of its durability of work, elias
ITCHY of stitch and strength of stitch. 1t new
| er rips.
at is preferred over all others it is very
easy in its movements, and very easily adjust
| ed, and very simple in its construction
"We can accomplish more in one week, by
this sewing machine, than we can in month
by hand-sewing."
| Mrs. DR.. Watts, says:
- have had several years experience with
| a Grover d Baker machine, which has given
me great satisfaction. Its chief merit is that it
makes a strong elastic stitch it is very easily
| kept in order, and worked without much fatigue,
4 which l think is very great recommendation.
I am not very familiar with any other machine
| except Wheeler Il Wilson, which have had.
| | think the Grover Baker machine is more
| easily managed, and less liable to get out of or
| der. prefer the Grover Baker, decidedly. b"
Mrs. A. B. Spooner, says:
81 answer conscentiously, believe it to be
| the best, all things considered, of any that l
| have known.
In the first place, it is very simple and ca
silly learned the sewing from the ordinary
spool is or at advantage; the stitch is entire
y reliable. 1t does ordinary work beautifully,
and the embroidery stitch. 1t is not liable to
get out of order. 1t operates very easily. l
suppose l can sum it all up by saying it is a
| perfect machine.
| al have had secession to compare the work
| with that of other machines. The result was
always favorable to to the Grover Baker ma
chine"
The foregoing testimony establishes beyond
question:
l. The great simplicity and ease Of manage
ment of the Grover & Baker machines.
2. That they are not liable to get out of re-
pair.
3. That greater variety of work can be done
with them than with other machines.
4. That the elasticity of the stitch causes the
work to last longer, look neater, and wear better
than work done on other machines.
5. That the facility with which any part of
the seam can be removed when desired is a
great advantage.
6. That the seam will retain its strength even
when cut or broken at intervals.
That, besides doing all varieties of work
done by other sewing machines, these machines
execute beautiful embroidery.
Over one hundred other witnesses in the case
above referred to testified to the superiority OF
| the Grover Baker machines in the points
named in substantially the samelanguage, and
| thousands of letters have been received from
| all parts of the world, stating the same facts.
