JOHN ORE & CO. ECONOMY IN TIME : ECONOMY IN LABOR : ECONOMY IN FENCING MATERIAL. Patent Titan^Wire Strainer. ADVANTAGES: TT 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 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 snd strength m the highest degree ; can be conveniently applied to all purposes which require WJreß 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 angleß 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 cost m the straining posts they aave. THEY ARE A DIRECT GAIN m economy of time and labor, because no boiing 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 lorig as the fence exists, because they are left permanently attached to the wires, which can therefore be tightened or slackened whenever desired.
