F. FJBKIRMAN. THE PATENT ELASTIC BTBBL HORSE COLLAR. Contractor* to Her Majesty's Government (WarOffioe). ! Patented in Great Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Booth Australia, Victoria, and the United States of America, etc. LATEST AWARDS. SUver Medal, Birktnbead Agricultural Society, 1890.—.Silver Modal, Altrincham Agricultural Society, 1890,—Diploma of Merit, Royal Military Exhibition, Chain*, 1890.—Bronee Medal, Prague Exhibition, 1891 ;■,



rpHE Collar is an invention which wina X the approval of all owner* of home who once GIVU IT A TRIALi 16 i« composed of two titular balret, with their necessary connections, formed of thin Steel Plates forged into U shape, and is pro* vided with rigid fastenings at top and bottom, thus enabling the Collar to be opened on pressing a spring catch at the throat, and then easily put on or taken off a horse's neck, avoiding the necessity of forcing the Collar over the home's head, and greatly facilitating the disengagement of the Collar when a horse falls.



It; may be described as a hollow pair of Hames enlarged to the size of an ordinary Collar but in an improved manner. The Motion of the Colter it everywhere of a U shape, ■ one (rider resting against the shoulder and the other carrying the Draught Hookr. (In designing the different parts of this Collar, the an atomy of the horse has been carefully studied, and the' facility' and exactness with which one Collar can, by the use of the simple means of adjustment whinh are provided, be made to fit aay number of hofaes of about the same build, is an important advantage possessed by this Collar over a Leather Collar of the old type. Any , one of the Elastic Steel Collars is capable of three different' adjustments in length, and three in width, (the Spanner, or Key sent v>ut with the Collar; being the only tool required) and, with only eight sizes, all horses from the smallest pony to the heaviest dray horse,'can be fitted from stook on receipt of the inside length and width of the old Collar. A Leather Collar, after a little wear, gets discoloured and shabby, the padding become displaced and protrudes, (he lining is rotted by perspiration and rain, it become* hard on the surface, gives the horse sore shoulders, »ad has to undergo expensive repairs, the horse meanwhile requiring another Collar to he carefully fitted to him, or otherwise is v noble to woik, and in the case of a bad ?ore, has to rest till it heal*. Most large employers of-horses h»ve quite a number of horsi-s laid up with sore shoulders, caused through the use of Lea'her Collars. The Elastic Steel Colors ou the contrary, I.;ay be readily adjusted to the horse's fchoulders, and once fitted, never alter their shape ; and as they present a smooth surface galvanized with zinc, they practically extend nil over the Collar the advantages of the Zinc Pad, which hits been in use for many years, with such good results. 1 hey are Hiw&ya dry and comfortable, and fit for immediate use. 1 hey are invaluable for horses with tender skin, enabling them to work with comfort where, with ordinary Collars they would be continually under treatment for galls. '» he cool and comfortable condition in which horses using these Collars return from ifwir work is a remarkable contrast to the heated and exhausted atate of horaes working in ordinary Collars, in hot or wet weather. The Collars are lighter, stronger, cheaper, cleaner, and more comfortable than Leather Collars, and the only way to appreciate their numerous and undoubted advantages is to GIVE THEM A TRIAL, All parti are interchangeable, and in the event of any part being.damaged or worn out, it can beat once replaced at a nominal cost. The H&mes of ordinary Collars are occasionally pulled out cf their places j but as Hames are not used with the Elastic Steel Collar, that dangerous occurence cannot possibly happen. The Collar* are in use by Her Majesty's Government, the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, Tramway, Omnibus, and Railway Companies, Brewers, Maltsters, etc. They are approved by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, aud by eminent Veterinary . Surgeons, and in no'single instance where. tbe Collars have been used have they failed to gain approval, and to establish their superiorly over those hitherto in.u?e. The only favour which the Company, ask is a TRIAL ORDER, as they are satisfied that the merits of the Collar, when once known, will secure its general and permanent) adoption, none other being comparable to it for strength, durability, appearance, economy, comfort, and general efficiency.



THE Ativdntagesof the Collar MAY BE SUMMARISED AS BELOW :- No Hames required ; It is easily fitted ; It cannot get out of shape by wear It requires no stuffiug; There is no pinching of the shoulders; The. jerk at starting with,a heavy'load is minimised, the collar being iv itself a spring. The pull is distributed over a large surface of the shoulder, and docs not come wholly on the outer edge, as is often the case with the ordinary Collar. It never wants drying, and, therefore, second Collar for ute during thai process is unnecessary. It is cheaper, lighter, and more comfortable, and lasts longer than a Leather Collac and The parts are interchangeable. AGENT FOR ASHBURTON : F. FERRIMAN.
