It being now more than twenty years since was
first acquainted with the ssddlng business and from
near six years trial of my Spring Saddle four years be-
fore it patented in order to prove them, and near
two years since public trial, can now with conn
dence say, that saddle made on this principle is bet
ter in every respect than saddle made IN any other
way, either with or without SPRINGS and will give hf-
ty dollars to any that can prove otherwise, or
make anv reasonable objection why it cannot he done
and will give hundred dollars for an Improvement
Oh them.
These saddles are made complete at from twelve to
foryve dollars. The springs 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 well as personal app-
cation were made. and when they receive the saddle,
If is according to their expectation, they ae at
liberty to return il, and will refund their money and
pay all expence Of conveyance to and from d. jack
son of Richmond and Frederick F. Kneass OF Peters
burg Va who have rights to manufacture these sad.
dles and any other person having desire to manu-
f,cture the same can obtain right by paying twenty
dollars in hand and dollar each saddle manutac-
tured or caused be manufactured forthe remainder
of fourteen years from the date of the Patent which
is Thirteth Of September, 1925: and any one sending
the twenty dollars will be furnished with complete
model so they fail to make the ssddle this mo.
del can be sent to any part of the United States II
any one wishes purchase right for state or coun'
ty or city, or town, he can have it on accommodating
terms These saddles are more work to make them
than the common plain saddle, and the springs can he
made by any common blacksmith, and boy that can
do any work can put them to the saddle tree.
All orders from any part Of the u States, either for
saddles or Patent Rights will meet with prompt atten
