$50. or $15.

There are sixty-two grades of horse-hair (?) used for mattresses-all bad! Could you tell them apart? Don't you have to go partly by the reputation of the dealer, but chiefly by the price he asks-$50 for his "best"?

Curled hair-the old style of mattress material-comes to market in bales of mixed origin; from asses, cows and pigs, mingled with the manes and tails of dead horses. Hair gathers dust, harbors vermin, absorbs moisture and often contains germs of pestilential diseases; gets lumpy and has to be frequently "picked over."

Isn't it a satisfaction when buying to know that there is only one grade of

The Ostermoor Patent $15.

Elastic Felt Mattress,

-always good; better than the best hair mattress can be; you don't have to be an expert, for nothing is to be gained by deception.

Ostermoor Patent Elastic Felt is pure in its origin-the raw material comes from the snowy balls of the cotton plant, and is further purified in our patented process of manufacture into airy, interlacing, fibrous sheets of great elasticity, moisture-proof and vermin-proof. These sheets are laid into the tick, which is then closed up around them-the result is a mattress which is constructed and not merely stuffed; which therefore keeps its shape and uniform thickness and never needs making over, though the tick can be easily removed for washing. It is wholesome and hygienic. No one can make mattresses of "felt," "elastic felt" or "patent elastic felt" but Ostermoor & Co., and no one can buy an Ostermoor Mattress except directly by mail from us, or at our warerooms. Our name and guarantee on every mattress. No dealer can supply you no matter what he says. Don't be deceived by false claims.
