pATENTED AUGUST 8, 1856

Single Rods complete FOR attaching to buildings,
sent by express to any part Of the country. We
offer unusual Inducements to persons who are en-
gagged in putting up Rods. or who may desire to
engage in this business. County and State Rights
for sale.
This Rod is in general use in Central Indiana,
and many other localities throughout the country.
1t always succeeds wherever ii is introduced. 1t
is no humbug. No man who examines its merits
will ever buy any other Rod. The old iron rods give
way before il as ignorance flies before the advance OF
light. According to Professor Faraday, and other
men of note, copper has conducting power to
times greater than iron and, in addition to this
important fact, Munson's BOD has surface inside
and out nearly three times as great the old iron
rod. Munson's Rod is IN ornament on the best
buillings, AMI does not rust, but will endure an
age without losing itscondnctins power.
This Rod has received the Frs Pre0'iaa at the
American Institute of New York; the Franklin
Institute Of Philadelphia; the National Fair at
Louisville, KY; the State Fairs OF Ohio wa, In
diana, .Conncoticut, and wherever exhibited. II
where there. are truly scientific judges. II has
been endorsed and highly commended by John
Young, Professor of Natural Science in the North
western Christian University James S. Athon,
Supt. Indiana Insane Asylum II. T. Brown, Indi-
ana State GeoloSist; Lorin Andrews, President of
Kenyon College, Gambler, Ohio; Drs. Kitchen a.
