THE ARGOSY—ADVERTISING SECTION. Fifty years ago the Ostermoor Trade-mark was sewed on mattresses that have been in use ever since and are as comfortable to-day as when bought. Do not believe any mattress to be a genuine Ostermoor — until you find sewn on the end the trade- mark label bearing this figure. TRADE-MARK Reg. U.S. Pat. Of. () “‘The Mattress that is Built—Not Stuffed’” This Mattress is Positively Proot Against _ Dampness, Dust, Vermin, Germs is firmly elastic and evenly soft in every spot, and remains so indefinitely. The advent of the Ostermoor in 1853 marked the passing of the unsanitary hair mattress. The remarkable popularity of the Ostermoor since then has given rise to many imitations. These imitations resemble the Ostermoor in outward appearance only; the superiority of the Ostermoor is inside. Many people testify that their Ostermoors, in use from twenty-five to fifty-two vears, are to-day as good as new. : Buy what you wish, but don’t believe any mattress to be Ostermoor which does not bear the Ostermoor trade-mark, and do not judge the Ostermoor by the mattress you are told is just as good.
