Patent Titan~Wire Strata ADVANTAGES: IT strains a wire anywhere, either 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 tne wire to slacken moro than ONESIXTEENTH of an inch whUe being secured ; combines lightneas snd strength m the highest degree ; can be conveniently applied to all purposes which require wires to be joined under tension. A REVOLUTION IN WIRE FENCING EFFECTED BY REID'S PATENT TRIPLEX WIRESTRAINER. (Patented m 1885 throughout Great Britain, tho United States, and the Colonies.) No Straining Posts required except at the angles of fencea. The boring of Straining Posts unnecessary. The advantages claimed for these, the latest and mos<j improved means of straining wire fences, are : - THEY COST NOTHING, because they pay their cost m the straining posts they save. THEY ARE A DIRECT GAIN m economy of time and labor, because no boving of straining posts is required, and the whole process .of straining occupies only about quarter the usual time. THEY KFFECT A FURTHER SAVING of time atd labor as Uog as the feme exists, because they are left permanently attached io the wires, which can therefore be tightened or slackened when* ever desired.
