THESE MACHINES sew from two spools,
as purchased from the store, requiring no re-wind
ing of thread ; they Hem, Fell, Gather, and Stioh in a
superior style, finishing each seam by their own opera
tion, without recourse to the hand needle, as is required
by other machines. They will do better and cheaper
sewing than a seamstress, even if she works for one cent
an hour, and are, unqnestionably, the best Machines in
the inArket for family sewing, on account of their simpli
city, durability, ease of management, and adaption 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 A Baker Sewing Machine Compa
ny beg leave to respectfully refer to the following
TESTIMONIALS.

family for nearly a year and a half, I take pleasure in

simply changing the spools of thread."— Mr*. Elizabeth
Strickland, wife of Rev. Dr. Strickland, Editor of
N. Y. Chriitian Advocate.
" After trying several good machines, 1 preferred
yours, on account of its simplicity, and the perfect ease
with which it is managed as well as tfie strength and du
rability 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.
" 1 have used a Grover A Baker Machine for two years,

labor-saving qualities in the performance ot family and
hausehold sewing— Robert Boorman, New York.
" For several months we have nsed Grover A Baker's

reliable and indefatigable "iron needle women," whose
combined qualities of beauty, strength and simplicity,
are invaluable.— J. W. Morns, daughter of Gen. Geo.
P. Moms, Editor of the Home Journal.
Extract of a letter from Thos. R. Leavitt, an American
gentleman, now resident in Sydney, New South Wales,

" I had a tent made in Melbourne, in 1853, in which
there were over three thousand yards of sewing done with
one of Grover A Baker's Machines, and a single seam of
that has outstood all the double seams sewed by sailors
with a needle and twine."

ful spring of woes unnumbered.''— Prof. North.
