ADVANTAGES: XT strains a -wire anywhere, eitherjl 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 ONESJXTEBNTH of an inch while being secured ; combines lightness and strength m the highest degree ; can be conveniently applied to all purposes which require wires to be joined under tension. A REVOLUTION IN WIRE FENCINI EFFECTED BY REID'S PATENT TRIPLEX WIRESTRAINER. (Patented m 1885 throughout Great Britain, tho United States, and the Colodics.) No Straining Poßts required except at the angles of fences. Tho boring of Straining Posts unnecessary. The advantages claimed for these, the latest and most improved means of straining wire fences, are : — THEY COST NOTHING, because they pay their cofet m the straining jjosts they save. 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 lime. THEY EFFECT A FURTHER SAVING of time and labor as long as the fence exists, because they are left permanently attached to the wires, which can therefore be tightened or slackened whenever desired.
