Coolidges Harness attachment is the best thing of the kind ever put on the market. It is so arranged that any one can secure it to any harness, in three minutes, without cutting the same in any way, right out in the street. It can be taken off the harness in two minutes, and the harness returned to its former style without the least trouble or exertion. It saves time in hiteh- ing and unhitching as a horse can be attached to the vehicle in less than 30 seconds and extricated in less than 5 seconds. an ornament to the harness and contains lt is nothing iu its parts to get out of order, the case being so constructed that the straps can be lengthened or shortened as is required. The Bolt is re- movable secured so as to allow the spring to be removed when wore. The particular advantage this device possesses over oth- ers consists in the construction of the case and arrangements of the straps, whereby the same may be attached to any harness without cutting the same, as has been heretofore necessary in order to use devices of this character. To the loop of the Bolt may be attached lines 28, said lines be- ing connected with the driver by suitable means, so that if the horse runs or becomes unmanageable, the tightening of the lines will draw the bolt 12, and the spring 24 will cast the piate 16 a- side and release the animal trom the velticle. Any woman or child can hitch or unbitch a horse without the slightest trouble. Thousands of the attachments are being used every day. KING'S PALACE, $14 7th St. n. w. NO BRANCH STORE.
