DARGATN HUNTERS” know they get
more for their dollars in the Sinynons
Beautyrest Mattress and Beautyrest Box
Spring. Their longer life and actual lower
cost have been proved in over a million
American homes.
The scientific sleep investigation at Mellon
Institute, Pittsburgh,^ proves something else
. . . that you need this type of mattress and
spring to get refreshing sleep.
The marvelous inner-coil construction of
the Beautyrest supports and rests you evenly
— in any of the 12 to IS sleep positions you
turn to in your sleep. The ordinary mattress
sags, lumps, prevents many restful positions.
See this mattress and box spring . . . here
today. Let us show you why scientists say—
Beautyrest Mattress and Beautyrest Box
Spring are the ideal type of sleep equipment.

Motion pictures taken during the sleep ^
investigation show:
1. No on/ position rests ail parts of your body
during sleep.
2. You need to sleep in over a doun positions to
rest all your organs and muscles in turn.
3. Vou can t if you have an ordinary mattress. ^
4. You can if you sleep on a Beautyrest. Its mar
velous inner^U construction supports you
