and ;s now Manufacturing, a Spring Sad' {, nuch
snnsr;,r To any that have hitherto been oiteftu u Nv
nublic. This improvement consists I'D lne s"sPe"'o"
of the whole seat by two c springs, siuiiar u S.S
spring, which being screwed on the DacS part VI ~
can,le ofthe saddle, receives an iron bar, forming tle
sueen of the cantle; thus preserving it from receiving
any injury BY a horse rolling in the saddle; ana making
the saddle tree more firm than it would otherwise DC;
which cannot fail to give ease to both horse ana r,aer'
4 frame also enters the back of the camille OF the Saddle
calculated to raise the valice or portmanteau, and keep
il entirely clear of the horses back. ms can DC pun

1t being now more than twenty years since i was
first acquainted with the saddling business, and from
near six years trial of my Spring Saddle four years be-
fore il was patented, in order to prove them, ana near
two wears since on public trial, | can now win conn
! dence say, that u saddle made on this prlnciple' Is pet
, ter in every respect than a saddle made IN any othe,
way, either with or without springs; and | w'iiS give III
ty dollars to any man that can prove o'herws,' vi
make any reaso, able objection why 1t cannot be done;
and I viii give one hundred dollars tor an improvement
on them
THESE saddles are made complete at from twelve to
forty-fve dollars. The springs are equally as well a
dapted to LADIES saddles as any other; and any one
sending the price IF such a saddle as they may want,
it will be finished to order as well as If personal appl'-
cation were made, and when they receive the saddle,
if it is not according to their expectation, they are at
liberty to return il, and | Will refund their money ana
pay all expence of convey ancc to and from d: JACK
son OF Richmond, and Frederick ! hheasS Vi 'e'ers-
burg, Va. who have rights to manufacture these sad
dies; and any other person having adesire to manu-
facture the salne can obtain a right by paying twenty
dollars in baud and one dollar on each saddle manutac-
tured, or caused t be manufactured forthe remainder
of fourteen years from the date of the Patent, which
is Thirtieth of September, 1925; and any one sending
the twenty dollars viii be furnished with a complete
model so they cannot fail to make the ssddle; this mo-
del can be sent TO any part of the United States. If
any one wishes to purchase a righttor a state, or coun-
ty, or city, or town, he can have it on accommodating
terms. These saddles arc no more work to make them
than the common plain saddle, and the springs can be
made by any common blacksmith, and a boy that can
do any work can put them to the saddie-tree,
All orders" from any part of the U. States, either tor
saddles or Patent Rights, will meet with prompt atten-
