HE CELEBRATED 
Dexter S 
Is one of those inventions that commends itself lo the 
PRACTICA1< BIAN as the COBOION'-SENSE 
SPRING, being aside-spring without the unpleasant and 
dangerous side motion of the Concord, and obviating the 
jerking of the Elliptic. Being without perch, gives inde- 
pendent action to each wheel, making ihem mucli more 
durable. Tlie SPRINGS are made of special CRUCI- 
BL<E .STEEL, and are fully warranted. 
The DEXTER supplies a want long felt by the Kaiin- 
er, Business Man, nnd Physician, as it gives them 
the easiest riding and most durable SPRING VEHI- 
CLE known, and much less liable to break than the 
ordinary spiing, on .account of quality and lorm. 
Please examine carefully the editorial and advertisement 
in Dec, 1S76, America7i AgricuItui'iH, and send for circular to
