ECONOMY W TIME : ECONOMY IN LABOR;: ECONOMY IN FENCING MATERIAL, Patent TitanJßre Strainer. ADVANTAGES: XT strains a wire anywhere, either poßt or midway j makes the best knot, and one which seldom breaks old wire ; does not slip about m working : strains with unrivalled power, eaae, and freedom from annoyance ; does not allow SxSffiiOTTT « Cken X T tbaQ ONE - SJXTEENTH of an inch while being secured ; combines lightness find 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 WIRE STRAINER. (Patented m 1885' throughout Great Britain, tho United States, and tho Colonies.) , No Straining Posts required except at I the angles of fences. The boring of Straining Poets unnecessary. The advantages claimed for these, the latest and most mproved means of straining wire fences, aro : - THEY COST NOTHING, because they pay their cost m the Btraining postß they save. (sT\3ii THEY ARE 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 \irne. THEY EFFECT A FURTHER SAVING of time and labor as l«ng as tha fence exists, because they aro loft permanently attached to the wires, which can therefore be tightened or slackened whenever desired.
