ADVANTAGES: ' IT strains a wire anywhere, either at post or midway ; makes the beßt knot, and one which seldom breaks old wire; does not slip about m working; grains with unrivalled power, ease, and freedom from annoyance ; does not allow the wire to slacken moro than ONESIXTEffiNTH of an inch while being secured ; combines lightness and strength m the highest degree ; can be conveniently applied to all purposes whioh 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 Colo oies.) No Straining Posts required except at the angles of fences. The boring of Straining Posts unnecessary. The advantages claimed for these, the latest and moßt improved means of straining wire fences, are : — .■ THEY COST NOTHING, because they pay their cost m the straining posts they savo THEY ARE A DIRECT GAIN m economy of time and labor, because no boring of straining posts iB required, and the whole process of straining occupies only about quarter the usual time. THEY EFFECT A FURTHER SAVING of time and labor as long aa the fence exists, because they are left permanently attached to the wires, whioh oan therefoie be tightened or slackened whenever de?ired.
