SPRATT'S PATENT INSULATED
~ LIGHTNING RODS-The subscribers having
secured the exclusive right to sell these celebrated
RODS in this State, are now prepared to put them
up in any part of this city country, favorable
terms. These celebrated conductors of ELECTRICITY
have been pronounced by scientific men to be the
best ever offered to the public Among the numerous
recommendations in possession of the Agents, the
following deemed sufficient to satisfy the public
of their great superiority over all others:
THE Lightning Conductors, the plan of j.
Spratt, of Cincinnati appear to be very well devils
ed, and in point of mechanical construction are the
best we have seen.
at is to be hoped that the of these Rods may
become general, as an important auxiliary defense
against danger which must be regarded as of no or
binary magnitude to which all buildings are liable.
