INTERESTING TO LADIES.
The tolloscsng Extracts are from the Testimony,
Taken under Oath, IN a recent case pending
before the United States Patent Office,
upon the actual Merits of the
GROVER & BAKER
S E WIN Ct M A CHI N E ,
And ats Relative Merits as Compared
wih other Machines.
Mrs. DIR. McCready, says:
have used, for nine years, q Grover Ba-
ker Machine, and upon it have done all kinds
Of family sewing for the house, for my children
and husband, besides great deal of fancy work
as braiding, quilting, and embroidering Du-
ring all that time my machine has never need
ed repair, except when had the tension alter
ed, and it is as good now as it was the first day
l bought it..
Mrs. DR.. W hitting gives the following reasons
for the superiority of the Grover Baker ma
chimes over all others:
The elasticity of the stitch, and ripping
when it is required and also the stitch fasten-
chine may be used for einbroidering purposes
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 a
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 O stronger stitch tn an
that of any other machine have used, and it
seems to me much more simple in its manage
ment than other machines; one great advan-
tage is the ease with which the seam is ripped
when necessary to do so; and think that the
Bakef ~ en- on
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

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. DIR. Watts, says:
have had several years experience with
Grover & Baker machine, which has given
me great satisfaction. Its chief merit is that it
makes strong elastic stitch; it is very easily
kept in order, and worked without much fatigue,
which think is very great recommendation.
l am not very familiar with any other machine
except a Wheeler & 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. "
Mrs. A. b. Spooner, says:
al answer conscientiously, believe it to be
the best, all things considered, Of any that
have known.
In the first place, it is very simple and ca
silly learned; the sewing from the ordinary
spool is great advantage; the stitch is entire
ly reliable. 1t does ordinary work beautifully,
and the embroidery stitch. 1t is not liable to
get out of order. 1t operates very easily.
suppose can sum it all up by saying it is a
perfect machine.
"Ihave had occasion to compare the work
with that of other machines. The result was
always favorable to to the Grover 4 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.
B. 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,.wth 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.
7. 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.
