"HE DAILY EVENING. TELEGHAPH QUADRUPLE SIOUTT. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 18G0.
IWTEBESTrWO TO LADIES.
The following extracts are from the teetlmonv
taken under oath in a recent case pending before
the United States Patent Office upon the actual
merits of tho drover A Dnk r Sewing Machine,
and iU relative merits as compared with other
machines.
Mrs. Dr. McCready says:
I have used for nine years a Orover A; Baker
Maeblne, and upon it I have done all kinds of
family sewing lor the house, for my children
and husband, besides a great deal of fancy work,
as braidtnir, quilting, and embroidering. During
all that time my machine has never needed
repair, except when I had the tension alt-red,
and It 13 as good now ai It was the first day I
bough it.
I am acquainted with the work of all the
principal machines, including Wheeler & Wil
son's, Flnkle A Lyon's, Wilcox & Gibbs', Laid
and Webber's, tho Florence machines, and
Stoat's machines, besides a number of the $10
ones, and I prefer the Grover & Baker to them
all, because I consider the Mitch more elastic.
I have work now In the house which was done
nine years ago, which is sMll good; and I have
never found any one of my lriends who have
used other machines able to say the same
thing."
Mrs. Dr. Whiting gives the following reasons
for the superiority of the Grover & Baiter Ma
chines over all others:
The elasticity ol the Btitch and ripping when
it is required, and also the stitch fastening
itself, as you leave off, and also the machines
may be used lor embroidering 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.
I find this stitch will wear as long a9 the gar
menus do outwear the garments, in fact.
I can use it from the thickest woollen cloth
to Nainsook muslin.
Mrs. Alice B. Whipple, wife of Rev. Mjr. Whip
ple, Secretary of the American Missionary As
sociation, testifies:
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.
Q. State the reasons, such of them as occur
to jou, forthis opinion.
A. I think the stitch is a stronger stitch than
that of any other machine I have seen 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 tbe scam is riDped
when necessary to do so; and I think that the
work by an experienced person on a Grover &
Btfker machine is better than work of such
person on any other machine; it requires more
fekill to work other machines than tbe Grover
& Baker.
Mrs. General Buoll rays she prefer tue
Grover & Baker machine over all others ou
account of its durability of work, elasti
city of stitch, and the strength of stitch. It
never rips.
It is preferred over all others; It is very easy
in its movements, and very easily adjusted, and
very simple ia its contraction.
We can accomplish more in one week by this
sewing machine, than we can in one month by
hand-sewing.
Mrs. Dr. Watts says:
I have had several years' experience with a
Grover & Baker Machine, which has given me
great salistaction. Its chief merit is that It
makes a Btroug clastic stitch. It is very easily
kept in order, and worked without much fatigue,
which I think is a very greit recommendation.
I am not very familiar with any other machine,
except a Wheeler & Wilson which I have had.
I think the Grover & Baker Machine is more
easily managed, and Is less liable to get out of
order.
I prefer the Grover & Baker, decidedly.
Mrs. A. B. Spooncr says:
I answer conscientiously, I believe it to be
the best, all things conjidered, of any that I
have known.
In the first place, it Is very simple and easily
learned; the sewing from the ordinary spools is
a great advantage; the stitch is entirely reliable.
It does ornamental work beautifully, and the
embroidery stitch. It is not liable to get out of
order. It operates very easily. I suppose I can
sum it all up by saying it is a pwfect machine.
I have had occasion to compare the work
wiih that of other machines. The result was
always favorable to the Grover & Baker ma
chine. Mrs. Dr. Andrews testifies:
I prefer it to all other machines I have known
anything about, lor tue ease and simplicity with
which it operates and is managed; for the per
feet elasticity ot the stitch; the ease with which
the work can be ripped, if desired, aud still
retain its strength when the thread is cut or
accidentally broken ; its adaptation to dill'ereni
kinds of work, from fine to coarse, without
change of needle or teuuiou.
Mrs. Maria J. Keane, of tbe house of Natalie,
Tillman A Co., sajB;
Our customers all prefer tho Grover & Baker
Machine for durability and beauty of stitch.
Mrs. Jennie C. Croly (Jennie June) says:
I prefer it to any machine. 1 like the Wrover
A Baker machine, in the first place, because if
I hnd any other I should still want a Grover &
Baker, and having a Grover k Baker, it answers
the purpose of all tbe rest. It does a greater
variety ot work, and it is easier to leain than
any otLer. I like the stitch because of Its
beauty and strength, aud because, although it
can be taken out, it don't rip, not even by cut
ting every otner stitch.
Tbe foregoing tefctiuiony establishes beyond
question,
First. The great simplicity and ease of nan
Kgement of the Grover A . Baker Machines.
Second. That they are not lhble to get out of
"epair.
Third. That a greater variety of work can be
done with them than with other machines.
Fourth. That the elasticity of the stitch
causes f tbe work to last lonerer, look neater,
aud wear better than wor'f done on other ma
chines Filth. That tho facility with which auy part
of a &eam can be removed when denred is a
great advantage.
Sixth. That the seam will retain its strength
even when cut or broken at intervals.
Seventh. That betides doing all varieties of
work done by other Sewing Machines, these
xuucUUiei execute beauUtul embroidery.
Over one hundred othor witnesses in the case
abov referred to testified to the superiority of
tbe Grover A Baker Machines la the points
named In substantially the same language, and
thousand!! of letters have been received from all
parts of the world stating the fame facts. We
subjoin two as specimens:

Washinoion, April 2 I860. Mmsra. Qrover
t Bal-er Gentlemen: I hare long thought
that, in justice to the excellence of your "Sew
ing Machine," it was my duty to inform you
that ninb tsars since I purchased one from
your agent In this city, and that I have ha 1 it
in constant use since that time, ami during the
entire period the expense, aside from a few
iieedlf", has been tun cekts, to keep it In per
fect repair.
I give the above a' evidence of the superiority
of jour machines over others, because I have
used thoee made by other purtles, but with little
satisfaction. M. E. Wimoh.
InDUSTIUAL JCL4SSK3 FOB TFTB BLIND, No 501)
New Oxford Street, Los now. April 11, 1886.
I have much pleasure in informing you ol the
success which has attended our efforts to teach
blind females to use your sewing machines.
The women belonging to our sewing machine
class are able to execute stitching, hemming
and tucking with the greatest case by your ma
chine, and we cannot speak too highly of its
adaptation to the use of the blind, and which is
attributable especially to the simplicity of its
cc uMruction, the regularity of the tension, and
tbe saving of time, occupied with other ma
chii.es In tilling of spools and fastening of ends,
the last-named advantage being of great Im
portance to the blind.
Indeed, it Is not too much to say that your
machine possesses advantages for the blind,
which we have not found m any of those made
by 6ve other manufacturers which we have
tried, and which has led us to set aside nine
other Machines and to adopt yours exclusively.
Your obedient servant,
K. Moore, Secretary.
