Do you know why
the "life" of even a- good
mattress is so shqrt?
The Ed low Spring mattress im
made with m.iny lay era of mow
white, tolled, ataplo cotton,
interlaced curled hair and tho .
patented Edlow-Springs.
A mattress may contain the very
best materials but due to the
basic construction within a year
or so it begins to lose its resiliency,
to sag and stretch.
-The Edlow-Spring is the first
great improvement in mattress
- manufacture for many, many
years. It's a flexible, piano-wire
spring. To test Its long life and
continued resiliency one was col
lapsed 800,000 times.
Edlow - Spring construction is
built between many layers of snow
white, felted, staple cotton and,
interlaced, curled hair.
Guaranteed not to sag, stretch
or lose its resiliency for 20 years.
Costs less than 1 cent a night. -
Come in when next you are down
town. We will be glad to show the
Edlow-Spring mattress to you.
