NY one considering the advantage Of Iron over

be surprised that it has not been adopted long since

now that objection Is removed generally and the Or

improvement of one of the proprietors and is adopt

The hoops are sent of any length from eight to ten
feet and full guarantee gwen that neither the Ties
nor Hoops shall break And further that all cotton
bound IN them shall be received on the same terms
