OEE & CO. i ECONOMY IN TIME : ECONOMY IN LABOR : ECONOMY IN FENCING MATERIAL. Patent Titan Wire Strainer. ADVANTAGES: 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 working ; strains -with unrivalled power, eaße, and freedom from annoyance ; does not allow the wiie to slacken moro than ONESIXTEENTH of an inch while being secured ; combines lightnesß and Strength m the higbeßt degree ; can be conveniently applied to all purposes which require wired to lie joined under tension. A EEVOLUTION IN WERE 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 tke straining posts they save THEY ARK A DIRECT GAIN m economy of time and 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 fonce exists, because they are left perma ne.ntly attached to the wires, w hiofa can therefoie be tightened or slackened whenever deiired.
