F. FEKIRMAN. THE PATFNT f'LASTIC STEEL HORSE COLLAR. Contractors to Her Majesty's Government (War Office). Patented in Great Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Italy, South Australia, Victoria, and the United States of America, etc. LATEST AWARDS. i Silver Medal, Brkenhead Agricultural Society, 1890.—Silver Medal, Altrinoham Agricultural Society, 1890.—Diploma of Merit, Royal Military Exhibition, Chtlssa, 1890,—Bronze Medal, Proem Exhibition, 1891 THE Collar is an invention which wins the approval of all owners of horns who once GIVE IT A TRIAL. It is composed of two similar halves, with their necesst.ry 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 tho throat, and then easily put on or taken off a horse's neck, avoiding the necessity of forcing the Collar over the horse's head, and greatly facilitating the disengagement of tho 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 section of tbe Collar is everywhere of a U shape, one side resting against the shoulder and tbe other carrying the Draught Hooks. In designing the different parts of this Collar, the anatomy 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 which ar6 provided, be made to fit any number of horses cf abent 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 out with the Collar being the only tool required) and, with only eight sizes, all horses from the smallest pony to tbe heaviest dray horse, can be fitted from stock on receipt of the inside length and width of the old Collar.



A Leather Collar, after a little wear, gets discoloured aud shabby, the padding become displaced and protrudes, the lining is rotted by perspiration and tain, it becomes hard on the surface, gives trie horse sore shoulders, and has to undergo expensive repairs, the horse meanwhile requiring another Collar to be carefully fitted to him, or otherwise is unoble to work, aud in the case of a bad sore', has to rest till it heals. Most large employers of horses have quite a number of horns laid up wilh sore shoulders, caused through the use of Leather Collars. j The E'astic Steel Co 1-rs on the contrary, i may be readily adjusted to the horse's shoulders, and once titled, never alter their shupe ; and as ihcy present a smooth surface galvanized wilh zinc, they practically extend all over the Collar the advantages of the Zinc Pad, which has been in use for many years, with such good results. They are always dry and comfortable, and fib for immediate ÜBe, 3 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. Jhe cool and comfortable condition in which horses using these Collars return from (heir woikisa remarkable contrast to the heated and exhausted state of horses 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 parts are interchangeable, and in the event of any part being damaged or worn out, it can beat once replaced at a nominal cost. The Hames cf ordinary Collars are occasionally pulled out of their places j but aa Hames are not used with the Elastic Steel Collar, that dangerous occurence cannot possibly happen,. The Collars 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, and 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 use. 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 I adoption, none other being comparable to ib for strength, durability, appearance, economy, comfort, and general efficiency.



I! THE Advantages of 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 stuffing ; There is no pinching of the shoulders; The- jerk at starting with a heavy load is minimised, the collar being in itself a spring. The pull is diatribuled over a large surface of the shoulder, and does not come wholly on the ou<er edge, as is often the c<>se with the ordinary Collar. It never wants drying, and. therefore, second Collar for use during that process is unnecessary. It 13 cheaper, lighter, aud more comfortable, and laHts longer than a Leather Collar and The parts are interchangeable. ■ AGENT PQR ASHBURTON : F. FERRIMAN,
