One of Jacks good friends, L. W. J., sends you
this new fable:
"See how 1 helpi' said a little mouse
To the reapers that reaped the grain,
Ash nibbled away, by the door Of his house,
With all Of his might and main.
"See how 1 helpr' he went on with his talk;
But they laid all the wide field low
Before he had finished q single stalk
OF the golden, g~littering row.
As the mouse ran into his hole, he said:
Indeed, l can not deny,
Although an idea / had in my head,
Those fellows work better than l."

CARD,

As it has been extensively reported by
rival sewing machine companies and
their peddlers, that the manufacture and
sale of the GROVER 4 BAKER SEW
ING MACHINES had been suspended,
and the machines and the parts could no
longer be obtained, Ibeg leave to state
that the business of manufacturing the
machines has ONLY been changed, and
that the supply Will be larger, and better,
and the sale of these Celebrated Ma
chimes more vigorously pushed than
ever before. The popularity of the
GROVER & BAKER Machines is hard
to overcome, and it is only by such
means and misrepresentation that many
of its rivals even effect loan Of their
machines.
