WHAT SHALL WE SLEEP ON? 
The attention of every reader who values “Life, Health, and Happiness” is called to the AWSWISUL to this important 
question, as found in the wonderful and beautiful 
WOVEN WIRE MATTRESS. 
MANUFACTURED BY THE 
Woven Wire Mattress Company,, of Hartford, Ct., 
l*ATEiMTE]ES AN1» MAMUEACTUatESSS. 
For JPeriecf Cleanliness, I*erffect Comfort, and. Perfect Hurability, 
The Company claim that this Perfect Spring Best without Spring; has no rival. 
Tlie Mattress consists of 8,000 teet of 18% wire made into perfect coils, and at the same time interlocked by an ingenious 
process of Double Weaving, by which a fabric half an incli 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, with the addition of a blanket in warm weather. For ordinary use, however, a thin hair mattress is desirable; but 
this is the only covering necessary, and on this account 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 
SEVER TO LOSE THEIR SHAPE OR NEE© A REPAIR. 
This wire fabric is as Noiseless as India-Rubber Cloth, which is a strong recommendation to all nervous, restless 
sleepers. It is destined to be THE POPULAR BED of the country. 
These beds can be found at nearly all the best Furniture Dealers’ in the country. When they are not, the Company 
will send direct, free of freight charges. Address, for Circular and Price-List,

All lacli®6 using Sewing Machines, have experienced great annoyance and much bard work in mov¬

while sewing; but by an ingenious, simple, and self-operating device, it is allowed to rest upon the 
Casters for moving about.
