THE CELEBRATED 
Dexter Spring 
Is one of those inventions that commends itself to the 
PRACTICAl. MAN as the COMMON-SENSE 
SPRINK, being a side-spring Tvlthout the nnpleasant and 
dangerous side motion of the Concord, and obviating the 
letting of the Elliptic. Being without perch, gives inde- 
pendent action to each wheel, making them much more 
durable. The SPRINGS are made of special CRUCI- 
BLE STEEL, and are fully warranted. 
The DEXTER supplies a want long (elt by the Parm- 
er, Business Man, and Physician, as it gives them 
the easiest riding and most dnr.able SPRING VEHI- 
CLE known, and much less liable to break than the 
ordinary spring, on account of qnallty and form. 
Please eiamlne carefully the editorial and advertisement 
in Dec, 1376, American AQricultiiriat, and send for circular to 
DEXTER SPRING CO.,
