Patent Elastic Felt is cotton mixed with brains. 



/\ " cotton" mattress is no more an Ostermoor Mattress than wool on the lamb's back is cloth ; 

 and yet a dozen little advertisers have popped up and scores of unscrupulous local storekeepers 

 (jealous of our success and riled because we save their profit to the consumer by selling direct only) are 

 offering low grade mattresses stuffed with cotton-batting, or worse — (at the most worth perhaps five or 

 six dollars) — at ten or twelve dollars, claiming they are "just as good as the Ostermoor," " both are 

 cotton," " practically the same," "save $3.00," ^_ ■--_^^^-*- w, ^v^

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 from Ostermoor & Co. Our name and guarantee on every mat- 

 tress. No dealer can supply you — no matter what he says.

 ELASTIC FELT MATTRESS, _LO. 



has only one legitimate competitor— the Hair Mattress. A hair mattress is in many ways satisfactory, but it is 

 out-of-date, a good one costs three times as much as the Ostermoor, and the best hair mattress ever made has 

 not one-half its comfort, durability or cleanliness — which we prove by this guarantee : 



Thirty Nights' Free Trial. 



Sleep on it so nights, and if it is not even all you have hopea 

 for, if you don't believe it to be the equal in cleanliness, 

 durability and comfort of any $50 hair mattress ever made, 

 you can get your money back by return mail — "no questions 

 asked." There will be no unpleasantness about it at all.
