Third-For durability. Copper is little effected by
posure whereas iron becomes covered with rust
which not only greatly mpas its conducting power but
in few years entirely destroys it,
Fourth-The mode Of connecting. This done by in

required.
Sixth--As regards appearance, it is decidedly good

most cheerfuly give my recommendation.
