superior any that have hitherto been offered to the
public This improvement consists IN the suspension
of the whole seat by two springs, similar to g'g

1t being now more than twenty years since was
first acquainted with the saddfng business and from
six years trial of my Spring Saddle four years be-
fore was patented, in order to prove them, and
two years since on public trial, can now with conf
dence say that saddle made this principle, is bet
ter in every respect than saddle made in any othe
way, either with without springs, and will give ff
ty dollars to any man that can prove otherwise, or
make any able objection why it cannot be done;
and will give one hundred dollars for improvement
on them.
These saddles are made complete at from twelve to
forty-fve dollars, The springs equally as we'll a.
dapted to LADIES' saddles any other; and any one
sending the price of such saddle they may want
twill be finished to order well as If personal app
cation were made, and when they receive the saddle
