Something attempted, somelhinjj done, has earned- abed which is repose We once read a lot of uninspiring figures showing what percentage of a man's life is spent in bed. They didn't send us into hysterics. As makers of sleep-inducing mattresses we are more concerned with the amout of sleep a man gets when he is in bed, than in discovering what fraction of his mortal span is spent wearing out his pyjamas on a mattress which reminds him of an oblong bag full of potatoes (unboiled). If it were possible, by any sort of mathematical process, to discover how much sleep a man gets, and how good a sleep, in proportion to the kind of mattress he lies on, every shop which sells the "Silverdown" Mattress would be besieged by a crowd of potential customers. Because here's what you ought to know —there is no mattress in New Zealand which will lull tired body and senses into peaceful, happy sleep quicker than the u Silverdown. " It has only one drawback—it spoils you for other beds. When you leave home, you'll feel that you ought to take your "Silverdown" with you. We make this claim in absolute sincerity. It contains not the slightest trace of exaggeration. The sleep-bringing qualities of the "Silverdown" are the logical outcome of the way in which the mattress is built. In the beginning, we set out to find a softer, lighter, and more airy "filling" "than tSamarang Kapok. Our experts have discovered "Silverdown" —the fascinating, cloudlike, yet durable filling after which we have named the finished mattress. We built this "Silverdown" into a scientifically designed, h ygi«nW mattress which should not only be the permanent enemy of insomnia, but which should give sleepingluxury to every part of the body by correctly supporting the spine. The man who sleeps on a "Silverdown" sleeps well and awakes refreshed. Moreover, the "Silverdown" cannot possibly attract dampness any more than it can "lump" or sag. It cannot harbour vermin: it is the dernier cri in mattress hygiene.
