John oik & co. ECONOMY IN TIME : ECONOMY IN LABOR : ECONOMY IN FENCING MATERIAL. " Patent Titan Wire Strainer. ADVANTAGES: IT Btrains a wire anywhere, either at post or midway ; makes the best knot, and one which seldom breaks old wire; does not slip about m working: strains with unrivalled power, ease, and freedom from annoyance ; does not allow the wire to slacken moro than ONESJXTEENTH of an inch while being secured ; combines lightness Bnd strength m the highest degree ; can be conveniently applied to all purposes which require wires to be joined under tension. A REVOLUTION IN WIRE FENCING EFFECTED BY REID'S PATENT TRIPLEX WIRE STRAINER. (Patented m 1885 throughout Great Britain, the United States, and the Colonies.) No Straining Posts required except a£ the angles of fences. The boring of Straining Posts unnecessary. The advantages claimed for these, the latest and most improved means of straining" wire fences, nre : - THEY COST NOTHING, because they pay their cost m the straining posts they save. THEY ARE A DIRECT GAIN m economy of time snd labor, because no boring of straining posts is required, and the whole process of straining occupies only about quarter the usual «.ime. THEY EFFECT A FURTHER SAVING of time and labor as long as the fence exists, because they are left permanently attached to the wires, which can therefore be tightened or slackened when* ever desired.
