JOHN ORE & CO. ECONOMY IN TIME : ECONOMY IN LABOR: ECONOMY IN FENCING MATERIAL. Patent Titan^Wire Strainer. ADVANTAGES: IT strains a wire anywhere, either at 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 more than ONE- SIXTEENTH of an inch while being secured; combines lightness and strength m the highest degree ; can bo conveniently applied to all purposes which require wires to be 3oined under tension. A REVOLUTION IN WIRE FENCING EFMCTED BY REID'S PATENT TRIPLEX WIRE STRAINER. (Patented m 1885 throughout Great Britain, the United States, and the Colonies.) No StrainiDg Posts required except ai the angles of fences. The boring of Straining Posts unnecessary. The advantages claimed for these, the latest and most improved means of strain- ing wire fences, are : - THEY COST NOTHING, because thej pay their cost m the straining posts (hiy aavo THEY ARE A DIRECT GAIN m economy of time and labor, because no boring of straining posts is required, and tbe whole process of straining occupie. only about quarter the usual time. THEY EFFECT A FURTHER' SAV- ING of time and labor as lobg aa the fence exists, because they are left perma- nently attached to the wires, which can therefore be tightened or slackened when- ever desired.
