here is an opinion of them by Judge Clark and
other citizens: aN <
We take pleasure in expressing our high and
unqualified appreciation Of its merits, and very
cheerfally commend it as the most healthful and
luxurious bed we have ever used. And we re-
gard these beds as really cheap article, being
sold at less than half the price Of the first class
spring mattresses, to most Of which hey are de.
cidediy superior, not only in portability, but hex
ibilty and elasticity. They are cheaper thar
