The mattrese question is typical. Most women have paid too little for a mattress simply because they did not realize that the true test of the worth of a mattress comes with its con tinued use over a long period of time. Replacing a mattress every few years is a costly proposition. It's a poor investment both in money and health. Any mattress, regardless of cost, will be soft and buoyant when bought and almost any mattress looks good when new. It is only common sense and true economy to pay enough to get a mattress that will stand up for years; that won'i get flat and hard with usage; that will provide, night after night, restful, healthful sleep. And now it is possible to get an excellent, long- wearing, buoyant mattress at a price that is within the reach of the average pocketbook and that represents true economy. The New PARIS is such a mattress. Only long experience and big output make it possible to build for you this guaranteed, high-grade New PARIS Mattress for $29.50. The New PARI3 Mattress, built by the makers of the famous Enduro Hair Mattress and Triumph Box Spring, is as fine a mattress at the price as it is possible to make.
