The Samson Wire le i* By using the Patent Oval Fence Wire ?»■ you get a better and cheaper fence than | 1 ‘ any other,- and the best proofs are the - nutations already referred to. D comprehensive circular as to its advantages, with numerous testimonials from well-known colonists, will be posted to any address on applicatiou. The state Forests of Victoria are fenced with the Patent Oval Samson Fence Wire; the one at Dqokie is, without doubt, the best Wire Fence in Australia, and people come from great distances to see it. PRICES GREATLY REDUCED r L > >» 4 r :t V q n i n ;e : if •y ;r is s. 1. it to ‘g y to re >n x y s,; is The public, when purchasing, are there fore cautioned to see that each coil bears a tin tally thus PATENT OVAL SAMSON WIRE, IN OVAL ; And the Patentee’s Tally or Trade Mark : M B R IN PADLOCK. ft Manufactured by the Whitecross Wire i Company, Warrington, England. Was patented and introduced four years ago in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and New Zealand ; and the principal claim set fourth was its being made Qyal to prevent fraud. Yet, in the face of these patents, firms—many of respecaltry standing—have, for the sake of a paltry commission, lent themselves to the intro duction of various spurious, imitations, which render them liable to actions at law, and annoyance and disappointment to the users. We would point out to intending pur chasers that any person erecting Oval Wire Fences, other than the Patent Oval Sam son, renders himself liable for damages. The Patent Acts on this point are very explicit; therefore, after this notice no excuse can be made. Wehave had instances brought under our notice where scmepersonshave been so un principled as to mix the Spurious Oval Wire amongst the Patent Oval Samson in . order to make a sale, and damage the the reputation of the genuine article. We have a great aversion to take legal proceedings, in this, matter, but shall be compelled to, in self-defence, unless these practices are at once stopped.
