STuHGEs' SpRING BEDS AND MATTRESSES
We have been using for a year one Of the
spring beds manufactured by Mr.. Geo. Stnr-
yes. whose advertisement will be found IN the
Philadelphia column Oh the last page, and are
ready to say that they are the very best beds
in use. The Village Record speaking Of them
says:
ellis spring bed is made without frame
and is much lighter and more comfortable
than beds of any other style. Both sides oi
the bed are alike. SO that either can be turn
ed up for use and the hair is not connected
with the springs. thereby aiiording the convc-
niencc of airing the bed without removing the
spring part. Mr.. Sturges' articles need only
to be seen to be appreciated, and we suggest
call upon him by all persons who are de
sirnus of purchasing the best things Of the
kind that are now manufactured. We have
tried the mattrass OF Mr.. Sturgcss, and speak
from personal Knowledge
Mr.. Strrgcs formerly resided in this county
and was at one time County Commissioner
from the 9Th District; and any citizen Of &C.
Gil could deal with him advantage ously.
