first acquainted with the sadding business, and from
near six years trial of my Spring Saddle four years be-
fore it patented in order to prove them, and near
dence say that saddle made this principle, is bet
ter in every respect than saddle made IN any other
way either with without springs; and will give nj
ty dollars to any man that can prove OTHERWISE or
make any reasonable objection why it cannot be done;
and will give one hundred dollars for an Improvement
on them.
These saddles are made complete at from twelve to
forty five dollars. The springs equally as well a.
dapted to LipIEs saddles any other; and any one
sending the price of such saddle as they may want,
it will be finished to order well if personal appl
cation were made and when they receive the saddle,
if is not according to their expectation, they are at
liberty to return it, and will refund their money and
pay all expence of conveyance to and from d. Jack
