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 at the angles of fences The boring of Straining Posts unnecessary. Tho advantages claimed for these, tho latost and most improved means of straining wire fences, are : — THEY COST NOTHING, because they pay their cost m the straining posts they save. THEY ARE A DIRECT GAIN m economy of time and labor, because no boiing of straining posts is required, and the whole process of Btrnining occupies only about quarter the usual tfme. tfOEY EFFECT A FURTHER SAVING of time and labor as long as the fence exists, because they are left permanently attached to the wires, which oan therefoie be tightened or slackened when* ever desired.
