II being now more than twenty years since I was
first acquainted With the saddlinG business and from
six Years trial of Spring Saddle four years be-
fore it was patented in order to prove them, and near
two wears since OH public trial, can now with conf
dence say, that saddle made on this principle, is bet
ter i'm every respect than saddle made IN any other
way, either with without springs and will give tit
ty dollars to any that can prove otherwise, or
make any reasonable 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
forty6ve dollars. The springs are equally as we'll a.
dapted to LADIES' saddles any other; and any one
sending the price of such saddle they may want,
il will be finished to order well as personal appli-
cation were made, and when they receive the saddle,
If it is not according to their expectation, they at
liberty to return it, ard will refund their money and
pay all expence of conveyance to and from ID. Jack
son of Richmond, and Frederick + Kneass of Peters
burg Va who have rights to manufacture these sad
dies; and any other 'rson having desire to manu-
facture the can obtain right BY paying twenty
dollars in hand and one dollar on each saddle manufac-
turet or caused t. be manufactured forthe remainder
of fourteen years from the date of the Patent, which

model they cannot fail to make the ssdde; this mo-
del can be any part Of the United States If
any one wishes purchase right for state or coun-
ty or city, or town. he have it on accommodating
terms. These saddles no more work to make them
than the common plain saddle, and the springs can be
made by any common blacksmith, and boy that can
do any work can put them to the saddle-tree.
