An important service of Abilene
Bedding Co. is its one day service
for in-town trade. Your old mat-
tress can be picked up in the
morning and the same night you
are sleeping on a wonderfully com-
fortable new mattress that haa
been made from your old mater-
rials at a modest cost by Abilene
Bedding Co.’s sleep specialists. .
If you live out of town and are
in the Abilene trade territory, you
may drop a card to Abilene Bed-
ding Company and have your mat-
trees remade and returned to you
in two or three days — never
I more than that. Or you may bring
your mattress into the factory and
receive the benefit of the com-
pany's "four-hour” policy so that
you may go downtown and do
your shopping and pick up your
mattress on your way home—one
trip does it all.
People have learned to walk
softly around "custom built” as
that usually means many extra
dollars. At Abilene Bedding Com-
pany custom built is the usual and
making your msttress firm or soft
or even six inches longer causes
you no delay and in some cases
no extra cost. For extremely large
beds they must ask their patrons
to give them sbout ten days time
as these beds are made by hand.
It takes more time but there again
your direct factory price saves
you s world of money and con-
vinces you that “The best for
less” is not just a phrase.
At all time Abilene Bedding
Company has in stock a variety
of ticking in various colors and
weaves so that you may have your
box springs and mattress to har-
monize with your choice of color
scheme.
