either side is lifted. The frame is
strongly made of steel and the top of
strong brown canvas. The springs at the
end make it comfortable. The cot when

inches thick and forty inches in length,
fitting snugly against the wall.
BED SPRINGS WITH SIDE
GUARDS
A NEW form of bed spring is
**• provided with guards on
the side to prevent the slipping or
spreading of the mattress. The
guards are of woven wire, and extend
just high enough to hold the
mattress without projecting above
it. By preventing friction, tearing,
and bending, they serve to lengthen
the life of the mattress and at the same
time assure a comfortable position at all
times. People who toss restlessly at
night will find these guards a great help
to their comfort.
