MESSRS. OSTERMOOR & Co. 
Gentlemen :—The OSTERMOOR 
Mattress bought by my grand- 
father, T. Freeman Epis, of 
Blackstone, in June, 1856, forty- 
seven years ago, is still in use, 
and as good as new to-day, and 
has had no renovation of any 
kind, except that the tick has 
been taken off and washed. 
This Mattress hashad harder 
usage than many, for it has 
been lain upon at least twelve 
hours every day for the past 
Jorty-seven years. 
We had always spoken of it as 
an exceptionally fine hair mat- 
tress, and it was only when tick 
ing was taken off for washing, 
some four years ago, that your 
label was discovered. A new one 
I purchased at that time bas 
proven to be fully as good, if not 
better, than the original one, 
We are delighted with OSTER 
MOOR Mattresses. These many 
years’ experience have proved 
their everlasting comfort.
