DROVER & BAKER'S CELEBRA
TED FAMILY SEWING MACHINES.
New Styles—Prices fromsso to $125. Extra
-Charge of $5 for Hemmers.
495 Broadway, New York.
730 Chestnut street, Philadelphia.
These Machines sew from two spools, as purchased from
the store, requiring no re-winding of thread; they Hem,
Fell, Gather, and Stitch in a superior style, finishing each
seam by their own operatign, without recourse to the
hand-needle, as is required by other machines. They will
do better and cheaper sewing than a seamstress can, even
if she works for one cent an hour, and are, unquestionably,
the best Machines in the market for family sewing; on ac
count of their simplicity, durability, ease of management,
and adaptation to all varieties of family sewing—executing
either heavy or fine work with equal facility, and without
special adjustment.
As evidence of the unquestioned superiority of their
Machines, the GROVER Sc BAKER SEWING MACFLINE COMPANY
beg leave to respectfully refer to the the following
"Having had one of Grover•& Baker's Machines in my
family for nearly a year and a-half, I take - pleasure in
commending it as every way reliable for the purpose for
which it is designed—Family Sewing."—.Mrs. Joshua
Leavitt, wife of Rev. Dr. Leavitt, Editor of R: I'. Indepen
dent.
"I confess myself delighted with your Sewing Machine,
which has been in my family for many months. It has
always been ready for duty, requiring no adjustment, and
is easily adapted to every variety of family sewing, by
simply changing the spools of thread."—Mrs. Elizabeth
Strickland, wife of Rev. ,Dr.' Strickland, Editor of N. r.
Christian Advocate.
"After trying several different -good machines, I pre
ferred yours, on account of its simplicity, and the perfect
ease with which it is managed, as well as the strength and
durability of the seam. After long experience, I feel com
petent to speak in this manner, and to confidently recom
mend it for every variety of family sewing."!--Mrs. E.
B. Spooner, wife of the Editor of Brooklyn Star.
" I have used a GROVER & BARER - Sewing Machine for
two years, and have found it adapted' to all kinds of fate;
ily sewing, from Cambric to Broadcloth. Garments have
been worn out without the giving way of a stitch.. The
Machine is easily kept in order, and easily used."—Mrs.
A. B. Whipple, wife of Rev. Geo. Whipple, /Veto York. •
"Your Sewing Machine has been in use in my family
the past two years, and the ladies request me to give you
their testimonials to its perfect adaptedness, as well as la
bor-saving qualities in the performance of family and
household sewing."—Robert Boorman, New York.
"For several months we hare used Grover & Baker's
Sewing Machine, and have come to the conclusion that ev
ery lady who desires her sewing beautifully and quickly
done, would be most fortunate in possessing one of these
reliable and indefatigable 'iron needle-women,' whose com
bined qualities of beauty, strength and simplicity, are in
li":" Morris, daughter of Gen. Geo. P. Morris,
Editor of the Home JoUrnal.
Extract of a letter from Thos. R. LrAvrrr, Esq., an
American gentleman, now resident in Sydney, New South •
Wales, dated January 12,1855:
"I had a tent made in Melbourne, in 1853, in which
there were over three thousand yards of sewing done with
one of Grover & Baker's Machines, and a single seam of that
has outstood all the double seams sewed by sailors with a
needle and twine."
"If Homer could be called up from his murky hades, he
would sing the advent of Grover & Baker as a more be
nignant miracle of art than was ever Vulcan's smithy.
He would denounce midnight shirt-making as 'the direful
spring of woes unnumbered.'"—Prof. North.
'I take pleasure in saying, that the Grover & Baker
Sewing Machines have more than sustained my expecta
tion. After trying and returning others, I have three of
them in operation in my different places , and, after four
years' trial, have no fault to find."—J. H. Hammond, Sen
ator of South Carolina.
"My wife has had one of Grover & Baker's Family Sew
ing Machines for some time, and I am satisfied it is one of
the best labor-saving machines that has been invented: I
take much pleasure in recommending it to the public."—
J. G. Harms, Governor of Tennessee.
Leaufiful g, nntl puts everybody int° an ex
citement of good humor. Were I a Catholic, I should in
sist upon Saints Grover and Baker having an eternal holi
day in commemoration of their good deeds for humanity.",
-,-Cassius M. Clay.
"I think it by far the best patent in use. This Machine
can be adapted from the finest cambric to the heaviest cas
simere. It sews stronger, faster, and more beautifully
than one can imagine. If mine could not be replaced,
money could not buy it"—Mrs. J. G.Brown, Nashville, Tenn.
"It is speedy, very neat, and durable in its work; is ea
sily understood and kept in repair. I earnestly recom
mend this Machine to all my acquaintances and others."—
Mrs. M. A. Forrest, Memphis, Tenn.
"We find this Machine to work to our satisfaction, and
with pleasure recommend it to the public. as we believe the
Grover & Baker to be the best Sewing Machine in use."—
Deary Brothers, Allisonia, Tenn.
"If used exclusively for family purposes, with ordinary
care, I will wager they will last one 'three score years and
ten,' and never get out of fix."—John Erskine, Nashville,
Tenn.
IN
"I have had your Machine-for several weeks, and am
perfectly satisfied that the work it does is the best and most
beautiful that ever was made."—Muggie Aimison, Nash
ville, Tenn.
"I use my Machine upon coats, dressmaking, and fine
linen stitching. and the work is admirable—far better than
the best hand-sewing, or any other machine I have ever
seen."—Lucy 13. Thompson, Nashville, Tenn.
"I find the work the strongest and most beautiful I have
ever seen, made either by hand or machine, and regard the
Grover &•Baker Machine as one of the greatest blessings to
our sex."—Nrs. Taylor, Nashville, Tenn.
"I have one of Grover & Baker's Sewing Machines in
use in my family, and find it invaluable. I can confidently
recommend it to all persons in want of a machine."—G. 2'.
Thompson, Nashville, Tenn.
"I take pleasure in certifying to the utility of the Gro
ver & raker Sewing Machines. I have used one on almost
every description of work for months, and find it much
stronger and better in every respect than work. done by
hand.—Mrs. D. W. Wheder—Nashville, Tenn.
"I would be unwilling to dispose of my Grover & Baker
Machine for a large amount, could I not replace it again at
pleasure."—Mrs. IL G. Scowl, ffitsimille, Tenn.
"Our two machines, purchased from you, do the work
of twenty young ladies. We with pleasure recommend
the Grover & Baker Sewing Machine to be the best in use."
—N. Stillman d: Co., Memphis, Tenn.
"The Grover & Baker Sewing Machine works admirably.
I think the, stitch and work far superior to that of 'any
Sewing Machine I ever saw. On fine work, I think the;
Machine would lie bard to beat."--.T. Davie, Memphis,
Tenn.
"I find the Machine easily managed, very durable, and
take pleasure in recommending it to all who wish conve
nience, economy, and pleasure."—Mrs. F. Titus, Memphis,

other machine I have seen."—Mrs. B. B. Mitchell, Mem
phis, Tenn.
"I am happy to give my testimony in favor of Grover
& Baker's Sewing Machine, and of the perfect satisfaction
it gives in every respect. -It sews neatly, and is by no
means complicated, and I prefer it to all others I have
seen."—Mrs. Bryan, wife of Rev. A. M. Bryan, Memphis,
Tenn.
"It affords me much pleasure to say, that the Machine
works well ; and I do no hesitate to recommend it as pos
sessing all the advantages you claim for it. My wife is
very much pleased with it, and we take . pleasure in certi
fying to this effect."—B. C. Brinkley, Memphis. Tenn.
"It givesme pleasure to find the Grover & Baker Sew
ing Machine giving so much satisfaction. I have it in
constant use, and find it all that could be desired. It is
the most simple and durable machine in use, and I heart
ily recommend it."—F. M. White, Memphis, Tenn.
Having seen, examined, and used many other kinds of
Sewing Machines, I feel free to say, that the Grover & Ba
ker Machines are far superior to all others in use."—N.
Francios Seitz, Nashville, Tenn. -
"I consider my Sewing Machine invaluable, and would
not take five times its cost, if I could not supply its place.
With it I can do all my family sewing in about one-fourth
the time I could with my hands."—M. J. Scott, .Nashville,
Tenn.
