In the BLUE RIBBON Spring we are using the finest pattern known to the scientific world. The construction is so superior that it has been adopted by the U. S. Government as a basis for all of its fine upholstered work, in chairs, couches, and steamer fittings.

The BLUE RIBBON Spring is made of an especially prepared steel wire of the highest quality, depending for its strength like the Damascus Blade, upon the fineness of its temper.

It is not too light for the heaviest person, and not too heavy for the lightest person, conforming absolutely to the shape. The Spirals are so joined and constructed that they act independently, supporting the body at every point. This independent action of each spiral makes it the only practical construction where two persons of different weights occupy the same bed. It entirely eliminates the tendency to roll towards the center of the bed. Each person achieves the maximum of comfort to be derived from individual beds.

As a test of its flexibility and the independent action of each cone, lie on your back on the bare spring, stretching at full length, and you cannot slip your hands between the small of the back and the spring, neither will any part of the spring be affected except the cones in direct contact with the body, so perfect is its construction.

The BLUE RIBBON Spring has a smooth and even surface supporting the mattress at all points. It is bedbug proof, and has no cracks or crevices in which vermin can collect.

We guarantee the BLUE RIBBON absolutely. On each spring is attached a two-color tin tag guaranteeing the spring against sagging or breaking for

FIVE YEARS.

We also give a thirty night trial as to general comfort.

The spring represented below is designed for wood beds or for iron beds when wood slats are used.

We also manufacture the same spring with heavy iron slats—a slat under each row of springs, for use on iron or brass beds.
