There few business establishments in Philadelphia
which we'll illustrate the mercantile of our city
during the last decade the Philadelphia branch of the
Grover Baker Sewing Machine Company, now located
No 73O Chestnut street. The latter has in fact
into a recognized Philadelphia institution, the
popularity and of which doubtless
equally due to the superior excellence of the Giro
yer & Baker Machines, and the admirable and
highly satisfactory manner in which the business
of the house is conducted 1t will probably be
bered by readers that the original advent OF
the Grover 4 Baker Sewing Machine Company in this
city in small office up stairs Fourth street,
near Chestnut, than sixteen years ago. From
thence they removed to Chestnut street, below
Fifth, and finally, in 1857, their present location.
No. 730 Chestnut street, became the of their
extensive operations. During all this period the bust
ness of the firm has steadily increased. The Grover
Baker instruments, which began TO be spoken
we'll Of have constantly in popular favor not
only maintaining their original prominence
all other machines, but annually extending their
by additions TO their mechanical perfectons and
adaptability to all kinds of plain and ornamental sewing
Considering that the competitive rivalry in this branch
our has been unprecedented the fact that
the Grover Baker machines have continued the ac.
knowedged masters of the field is the highest proof of
their intrinsic merits. The business of the company is
now enormously large. One hundred and fifty
per day have, for months past been the
production of their immense manuactory, and with
these gigantic the is often unable TO
meet with desired promptness the popular demand
through the agencies of the company which number
about thirty established in all parts OF the United States
also in Great Britain and Australia.
The PHILADELPHIA house, at No. 730 Chesnut street, is
one of the most prominent lucrative of their various
branches and is under tho superntendence of George
w Eddy ESD, who has been connected with this
pany during last eleven years and under whose enter
prising management it has attained name and fame
second to other business establishment in Philadelphia
The entire plan, mode and detail OF the business show
the potency brains and if any is due to the
City of Brothery Love the of nonenterprse in
general certainly due to No 73) Chestnut street in
particular.
We might fill score Of columns descanting upon the
peculiar merits and mechanical advantages of the Grover
A Baker machines but that unnecessary. Our readers
or many them at least personally familiar with the
angular advantages which these machines possess all
others in USE and the entire press Of the country has
teemed the deserved of their exceences and
the high testimonials awarded the Grover Baker Com
many, by the proper committees, in both Europe and
America to whom the question Of comparative merit in
sewing machines has been submitted.
Still what is of value to than all other testi
onials is the testimony of personal experience
Retween the piano in house and the Grover Baker
Sewing Machine the question of indispensabty about
equally balanced The writer's better half plays both
eauay we'll and while the charm of music unquestion-
aby in favor of former the latter contributes
that domestic melody which springs from industrious fin
gers contented mind and happy heart. The machines
afered To are simple in construction easily learned and
ms easiy run are almost noseless and their stitch is
elastic that IL will wash without breaking, which be-
Iiev can he said of few If any other machines That the
Grover Baker instruments with their retih of spen
did and invaluable attachments, the best for family
use we verify believe and II is with this conviction that
we recommend their introduction into every wellregu
