IMPROVED
SPIRAL SPRING MATTRESS.

THE proprietors fthe Improved Spiral Spring
l. Mattress, respectfully beg to call the atten-
ton of the public to this much improved article.
This Mattress is late invention, and it is
confidently believed, will be universally ac-
knowledged superior to any other Mattress or
bed now in use.
The peculiar improvement in the construction
Of this Mattress is, that all the clumsy ana heary
,rooIca trtme pork Is entirely dispensed with,
aud its place supplied by lighter and much
more durable frame, the springs are all connect
ed by harness leather hinges, securely rlvetted,
rendering it impossible for single spring to tall
down or get out Of place, and making Bed so
elastic that any part may be raised or bent up,
and is thus admirably fitted to the wants OF the
sick or asthmatc who may require sitting pos
ture; it has all the luxurious softness OF the best
Feather Bed with the liehtness and facility OF
handling of the Common Hair Mattress.
These improved Spring Beds are Invariably
made Of the best materials and will last many
wears without repairs.
Persons having Hair Mattresses can have
them altered into Spring Beds.
Hair Mattresses made and re-made; orders
received at the Mandatory, No. 80 Walnu

March 3, 1915, new description Of bid
has been received. ltspecifiies no mode
OF conveyance, but engages to carry the
mail with certainty, CELEBRITY and securl.
ty, using the terms Of the law. These
bids are called, from the manner in
which they are designated on the books
OF the Department, "star bids" The
experience OF the Department enables
it to lay down the following rules, viz:
W hen the mail on the route is not so
large as to require two horse coach
conveyance. a star bid, if the lowest,
will always be preferred 10 the specific
bid.
When the mails are of such size and
weight as 10 render il necessary, in ref
erence to them alone, to provide two
horse coach conveyance, the specific bid
though the highest, for coach service, if
adjudged TO be entirely sufficient for the
route, will be preferred to the star bid,
in case the difference is not such as to
interfere with the policy of the law of
1919, which looks to areducion in the
cost Of transportation. Exceptions,
however, may be allowed, where the
star bid is made by the owner Of the
stock now used on the route in the per-
tormance Of coach service.
On routes OF the highest class, where
iour-lorse coach or steamboat transpor.
tatlon is required BY the size and import
ance Of the mails, and the specific bid is
adjudged entirely sufficient forthe route,
the preference for the specific bid will
be, II necessary, carried to a greater ex-
tent OF difference than on the inferior
coach routes.
p. A modification of a bid, in any of
its essential terms, is tantamount to d
new bid, and cannot be received, SO as
to interfere with regular competition,
after the last hour set for receiving bids.
%. Postmasters are required to be
careful and not to certify the sutticlency
OF guarantors or suretles without know
ing that they are persons OF sufficient re-
sponslbility; and all bidders, guarantors,
Or snretles are distinctly notified that on
failure TO enter into or perform the
contracts for the service proposed for in
the accepted bids their legal liabilities
will be enforced against them.
"a. The contracts viii be substantially
IN the forms heretofore used in this De-
partlnent, except in the respects partic-
u!ar!y mentioned in these instructions
and conditions; and on all railroad and
steamboat routes the contractors will be
required to deliver the mails into the
post offices at the ends of the routes and
into all the intermediate post Offices not
more than eighty rod. from the railroad
or landing.
%. Present contractors and persons
known at the Department must, equally
with others, procure guarantors and GER
ti:Icates of their suflicency substantially
in the forms above prescribed. The
certificates OF sQtliciency must be signed
BY postmaster, OF Judge or clerk OF
a court oircIord.
