ECONOMY IN TIME : ECONOMY IN LABOR : ECONOMY IN FENCING MATERIAL, Patent Titan Jffire Strainer, ADVANTAGES : IT strains a wire anywhere, either at post or midway ; makes tho 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 ONESIXTEENTH of an inch while being secured ; combines lightness snd strength m the highest degree ; can be conveniently applied to ail 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 Britain, 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 cost m the straining poßts they save. THEY ARE A DIRECT GAIN m economy of time snd labor, because no boring of strainiDg posts is required, and the whole process of straining occupies only about quarter the HBUal ume. THEY KFFEOT A FURTHER SAVING of time and labor as long aa the fence existß, because they are left permanently attached to tho wires, which can therefore be tightened or slackened whenever desired.
