_«— -~--___^ I GKOVER& BAKER SEWING- MACHINE COMPANY, MANUFACTURERS OF ELASTIC STITCH AND "LOCK STITCH" SEWING MA- CHINES. THE GROVER & BAKER ELASTIC-STITCH MAC BINES will hem, fell, cord, bind, tuck, gather, quilt, braid, and embroider. They are ■ Se durable, and not liable to derangement. They ■ewfrom ordinary reels, and no re-winding .of the thread is necessary. They sew with equal facility all fabrics, the most delicate and the heaviest, and with all kinds of thread, silk, cotton, or linen ; their Sm is so strong and elastic that it never breaks even on the bias? They fasten Doth ends of the seam by their own operation. . Their seam, though cut at every sixth stitch, remains firm, . and neither runs nor ravels in wear. Their seam is plump and beautiful, and retains its plumpness and beauty after w«hing better than any other. Their seam can be removed in altering garments, after FOP""*™ tion, without picking or cutting them. Watching and varying the tensions upon the. threads, necessary in other machines, is unnecessary in these. Ine tensions being once adjusted on the Grover and Baker elastic-stitch machine, any amount of sewing may be done without change. They make beautiful embroidery, and are the only machines that both embroider and sew perfectly.
