first acquainted with the saddlng business, and from
six years trial of my Spring Saddle four years be-
fore it was patented in order to prove the and near
two years since public trial, can now win conn
dence say, that saddle made on TINS prncpe' Is pet
ter in every respect than saddle made IN any other
way either with or without springs, and will give III
ty dollars any man that can prove otherwise, OF
make any reasonable objection why 1t cannot be done
and will give hundred dollars for an Improvement
on them.
These saddles are made complete at from twelve to
forty-ve dollars The springs are equally as well a
dapted TO LADIES' saddles any other; and any one
sending the price of such saddle they may want,
it will be finished to order we'll as personal app-
cation made, and when they receive the sadae,
if it is not according to their expectation, they are at
liberty to return it, and will refund their money and
nav all expence of conveyance to and from D. jack
