Patent Elastic Felt consists of airy, interlacing, 

 fibrous sheets, of snowy •whiteness and great elasticity, 

 closed in the tick by hand, and never mats, loses shape 

 or gets lumpy. It is perfectly dry, non-absorbent, and is guaranteed 

 absolutely vermin proof. Tick may be removed for washing with- 

 out trouble. Softer and purer than hair can be ; no re-picking or 

 re-stuffing necessary. 



314 Clinton Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., Feb. 7, 1894. 

 DEAR SIRS :— I have used your Mattresses for over twenty years, and state they are equal, and in many 

 respects superior, to those made from the best quality of curled horse hair. Your Felt extracts heat from 

 the body without absorbing moisture, and has therefore a special advantage in certain rheumatic instances. 



Very respectfully, JOHN BYRNE, M.D. 



3525 Lucas Ave., St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 11, 1896. 

 DEAR SIRS :— Your Patent Elastic Felt Mattresses have been in use in my house since 1877. During this time, nineteen years, they 

 have constantly grown in favor, remaining always the same, requiring no remaking. They make the most comfortable, the cleanest, 

 and the most wholesome beds. Yours truly, E. H. GREGORY, M.D.
