Well, feather my bed!

HOW TO SAVE MONEY

At the present high price of goods it is to the advantage of everybody to save money where they can. Feathers are so high now, that few can afford to purchase new feather beds, but we are happy to inform our readers that they have now a chance to get their old beds renovated, so that the feathers will be rendered as sweet, light and lively as those freshly picked from geese. 

Those who sleep on impure feather beds are apt to contract diseases which often result in death (!!!) or if they do not prove fatal, at least incur a heavy doctor's bill.

Weller & Smith

have established one of their

RENOVATING MACHINES

in Brookville and for the small amount of

$1.50 FOR EACH BED

will render old feathers equal to new ones. Although they are not magicians, they perform a feat that is as wonderful and much more useful than any sleight of hand trick.

They are at work in Roberts' Warehouse, opposite the Valley House Livery Stable, where the public are invited to call and see them.
