near six years trial of my Spring Saddle four years be-
fore was patented in order to prove them ana near
two wears since on public trial, can now with conn
dence say that saddle made on this principle Is pet
ter in every respect than saddle made IN any otei
way, either with or without springs and WIN give M
ty dollars to any that can prove otherwise, OF
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 are equally as well a.
dapted Lanes saddles as any other; and any one
sending the price of such a saddle as they may want
it will be finished to order well as it personal aPp
cation were made, and when they receive the saddle
if it is according to their expectations they are a.
liberty to return H. and will refund their money and
