A REVOLUTION IN WIRE FENCING EJECTED 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 Postß unnecessary. The advantages claimed for these, the latest and mos^ mproved means of straining wire fences, are : — THEY COST NOTHING, because they pay their cost m tbe etraining posts they save THEY ARE A DIRECT GAIN m economy of time end 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 therefoie be tightened or slackened whenever desired.
