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 the wire to slacken moro than ONESIXTEENTH of an inch wh«e being secured ; combines lightness »nd strength m the highest degree ; can be conveniently applied to all purposes whioh 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 Colonhs.) 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 wiro fence 3, are : - THEY COST NOTHING, because they pay their cost m the straining posts they eavo. THEY ARE A DIRECT GAIN m economy of time Bnd labor, because no boring of straining posts is required, and the whole process of straining occupies only about quarter the usual rime THEY EFFECT A FURTHE*B SAVING of _ time and labor as l«ng as the fence exists, because they are left perma« nently attached to the wires, which can therefore be tightened or slackened when* ever closirod. Comparative Estimate of 14 chains of G-Wire Fence. UNDER OBDINARY METHOD. No Wire Stretchers left attached.
