ADVANTAGES: „ IT strains a wiro anywhere, either post or mifhvrn- ; rr.akos tho best knot, and ono which seldom breaks old wire ; does not Klip about m workine ; strains witli unrivalled power, ea6e, and freedom from annoyance ; does not allow the wiro to slacken moro than ONESIXTEENTH of an inch while being secured ; combines lightness and strongth m the highest degree ; can be conveniently applied to all purposes which require wires to be joined under tension. A REVOLUTION IN WIRE FENCINGEFFECTED BY REID'S PATENT TRIPLEX WIRE STRAINER. (Patented m 1885 throughout Great Britain, the United Stateß, and tho Colonies.) No Straining Postsl required except at the angles. of fences. The boring of Straining Posts unnecessary. The advantages claimed for these, the latest and most improved moans of straining wire fences, are : — : THEY COST NOTHING, because they pay their oost m tho straining poets they save. " THEY ARE A DIRECT GAIN m economy of time snd 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 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 deeired.
