Patent Titan Wire Strainer. ADVANTAGES : i IT strains a wire anywhere, either at post or midway ; makes the best knot, and one which seldom breaks old wire ; does not slip about m workiosr ; strains with unrivalled power, ease,, and freedom from annoyance ; does not allow the wire to slacken moro than ONESIXTEENTH of an inch while being secured ; combines lightness and strength m the highest deguee ; can be conveniently j 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 Sritain, the United States, and the Colonies.) No Straining Posts required except at 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, are : - THEY COST NOTHING, because they pay their coßt m the straining posts they save. THEY ARE A DIRECT GAIN m economy of time snd labor, because no bbring of straining posts is required, and the whole process of straining occupies only about quarter the usual time. THEY EFFECT A FURTHER SAVING of time and labor as loDg as the fence exists, because they are left permanently attached to the wires, which can therefoie be tightened or slackened whenever desired.
