! J. H. GARDNER Agent Grover l. Baker Sewing
Machine Company 80 1872 Canal street, New
Orleans
S!R-We are mucl, in want of two OF your FAMILY
SEWING MACHINES, and propose to give YOU in
exchange FOX them, one each, Singer ard Wheeler
Wilson. If you accept our offer it will take from
rs the last of tive of the other patterns Of
machines that We have disposed of to give place
to yours.
We have 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
CT Your Compauy's make is far superior to
any that we have used. Its simplicity,
small effort required to operate and the great
strength ard elasticity of its seam, are qualities
we have never found equaled in any other Since
the introduction of your Sewing Machine into our
Asylum, it has always been the favorite with our
children, 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 five of
your 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 from those for whom the work has
been done, but, on the contrary, much praise for
the beauty and perfection of the machine stitching.
We most earnea-ly hope that you will accept our
proposition to exchange and favor US BY sending
your machines at the earliest opportunity.
