way either with without springs; and will give hf-
ty dollars to any man that can prove otherwise or
make any reasonable objection why it cannot be done

forty five dollars. The springs equally as we'll a.
dapted to LADIES' saddles any other; and any one
sending the price of such saddle as they may want

cation were made, and when they receive the saddle,
If it not according to their expectation they are at
