WHAT SHALL WE SLEEP ON? 
Tlic attention of every render whs values "Life, Ileal Lh, and Happiness" is called to the ANSWER to this important 
question, as found in the wonderful and beautiful 
WOVEN WIRE MATTRESS. 
Patented June 16, 1888; Nov. 23 and 30, 1869; Nov. 22, 1870; April 11, 1871. 
MANOFACTURED BT THE 
Woven Wire Mattress Company, of Hartford, Ct, 
SOBL.E PATENTEES AI\» MA^l*JFACTirjRER!«*. 
For Perfect Cleanliness, Perfect Comfort, and Perfect Durability, 
The Company claim that this Perfect Spring Bed without Spring* has no rival. 
The Mattress consists of 8,000 ieet of 18K wire made into perlect coils, and at the same time interlocked by an ingenious 
process of Double Weaving, !>y which ft fabric half an inch thick is formed, which, when, it is stretched on its frame by 
machinery, forms a bed of remarkable elasticity and strength. 
The Wire Mattress is a complete revolution of old ideas as to beds, being a Perfect Sleeping Arrangement in 
itself, witli the addition of a blanket in warm weather. For ordinary use, however, a thin hair mattress is desinthle ; but 
this is the onlv covering necessary, and on this acconnt the bed is the CHEAPEST ARTICLE IN" MARKET. 
All the vexing repairs usually necessary in almost every other bed are avoided, and they are guaranteed 
NEVER TO LOSE THEIR SHAPE OR NEED A REPAIR. 
This wire fabric is as Noseless as India-Rubber Cloth, which is a strong recommendation to all nervous, restless 
sleepers. It is destined to be THE POPULAR BED oi" the country. 
These beds can be found at nearly all the best Furniture Dealers' in the country. W lien they are not, the Company 
will send direct, free of freight charges. Address, for Circular and Price-List,
