DOES 1T PAY
TO BUY A GOOD MATTRESS E?

This is question that 1t seems useless to
argue, but there are so many people who have
never considered the matter at all, and If they
have, they have never informed themselves.
They simply buy mattress because it Clocks
good" and the dealer says it is "al right."
There are several points about a mattress
which must be particularly inquired into, and
If necessary examined into;
First, What is in 1t?
Second. How is the material put in?
Third. How is the material kept in?
