Is spent in bed What did you pay for the mattress?
In bed we laugh, in bed we cry;
, ' And born in bed, in bed w6 die;
The near approach a bed may show
Of human bliss or hun an woe.
ST Do you recognize the importance of the mattress?
Do you select it with the same care you do the other '
comforts of home? Have you ever stopped to consider
that in this age of advancement it has recieved little
attention little improvement was made until the 1 re-
nowned Sealy Mattress was invented? This marked
the entry of a new era in mattress making.
The Sealy Mattress is different! Features that
stand out in bold contrast: First successful and only
Non-Tuffed Mattress; First mattress made along
tcientific lines, Constructed of one single bat of long
staple cotton, Without Tuft or Binding. See this won-,
derful mattress now on exhibition at our store. Thft
success of the century. Let us explain its merits.
