Why Not Join My Perfect Sleepers' Club With the spring work crowding itself upon you, you’ll find that the best bed you can have will not give you too much rest. Unless it is provided with a Good Night Spring ana a Silk Floss mattress, it can be wonderfully improved. All you need to do to join my Perfect Sleepers Club is to phone in the size of your bed, and I’ll send you what you need to put you to RESTFUL, sleep. After you have tried Jt for thirty nights if not entirely satisfied I’ll refund your money. But you will find it different than other folks, if you ever think any* thiig about the $15.50 paid 1 for the best spring and $lB.50 for a Silk Floss mattress. (These prices are subject t«» 10% discount for cash in hand.) Why that is only a trifle over SI.OO a year during the guarantee period. Sure you can afford to join the club. Better join yet this week.
