). H. GARDNER, Agent Grover Baker Sewing
Machine Company, No. ls2 Canal street. New
Orleans:
STRIVE are mush in want of two Of you, FAMILY
SEWING MACHINES. and propose to give you in
exchange for then, one each, Singer and Wheeler
Wilson. If you accept our offer i. will take from
US che last Of Eve of the other patterns Of
machines that We have disposed Of to give place
to yours.
we nave had much experience with several Of
the leading Sewing Machines, and feel that We can
say without injustice to any one that the
ELASTIC STITCH MACHINE
OF your Comrany's make ia far superior to
any that We have used. Its simplicity,
emAA enort required to operate and the great
strength and elasticity of its seam, are qualities
We have never found equaed in any other. Since
tie introduction Of your Sewing Machine into our
asylum, it has always been the favorite with our
on''dfen' and often source Of much contention
among them, as to who should have the privilege
Of its USE
During the past two years we have had tive Of
Jour sewing Machines in constant use, and large
quantities OF work of every description for fami-
lies has been done on them. We have never had
any complaint foom those for whom the work his
oeen done, but, on the contrary, much praise for
the beauty and perfection of the machine stitching.
We most earnestly hope that you will aoce pit our
to exchange, and favor us by sending
your maehinesa at the earliest opportunity.
