A REVOLUTION IN WIRE FENOIKQt IWSOTED BY REID'S PATENT TRIPLEX WIRE STRAINER. (Patented m 1885 throughout Great, Sritain, the United States, and the Colonies.) . No Straining Poßtsl required except at the angles of fences. The boring of Straining Posts unnecessary. The advantages claimed for theeej * n^ latest and most improved moans of strain." ing 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 1 boring of straining pouts is required, and the whole process of straining occupies only about quarter the usual «.ime. f f HEY 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 therefoie bo tightened or slackened whenever desired.
