THE CELEBRATED 
Dexter Spring 
Is one of those Inventions that commends Itself to the 
PRACTICAL MAN as the COMMON-SENSE 
SPRING, being a side-spring without the unpleasant and 
dangerous side motion of the Concord, and obviating the 
ferking 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 arc 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 mncli 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.,
