THE CELEBRATED 
Dexter Spring 
Is one of those inventions that commends itself to the 
PRACTICAL. MAW as the COMMON-SENSE 
SPRING, being a side-spring without the unpleasant and 
dangerouns side motion of the Concord, and obviating the 
jerking 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 felt by the Farm¬ 
er, Business Man, and Physician, as it gives them 
the easiest riding and most durable SPRING VEHI¬ 
CLE known, and. much less liable to break than the 
ordinary spring, on account of quality and form. 
Please examine carefully the editorial and advertisement 
in Dec., 1876 , American Agriculturist, and send for circular to 
DEXTER SPRING CO., 
Hulton, near Pittsburgh, Pa.
