Benjamin franklin spoke of
“paying too much for a whistle”—
and frankly there is always the temp
tation to pay the highest price for the
obvious things and try to “make-up” by
spending as little as possible for those
which are not predominant.
But proper sleep is so necessary that it
must not be classed among the unim
portant. If a mattress and spring last
ten years the difference in cost between
one that will just “get by” and the bes
is about one dollar a year.
