A REVOLUTION IN WIRE FENOINQ I EFFECTED BY : REID'S PATENT : TRIPLEX WIRE STRAINER. ! (Patented m 1885 throughout Great Britain, the United States, and the Colonies.) L - No Straining Posts required except at the angles of fences. The boring of Straining Posts unnecessary, The advantages claimed for tbete, th« latest and most improved means of strain* ing wire fences, are : - THEY COST NCTHING, because they pay their cost m the straining posts they save. THEY ARE A DIRECT GAIN ia economy of time and labor, because no boting of straining posts ia required, and the whole process of straining occupies > only about quarter the usual tfme. THEY EFFECT A FURTHER SAVING of time and labor as long as the fence exists, because they are left corma* i nently attached to the wires, which can therefore be tightened or slackened when* ever desired. .
