v>HE above Cut represents three Of ths
i Button and three of the Buckle Tic, as the,
appear bale OF Cotton. 800
Ten feet are most generally used, but lO and III arr
sometime. required for large bales. The buckles arr
fastened to the hoops the buttons will be put up II
small boxes.
THE WEIGHT Is ABOUT 10 POUNDS
TO THE BALE OF COTTON.
M, Button Tic was tho first offered for sale to mn,
extent ir the South, and has been used by thousands
Of planters with universal approval i have made
valuable Improvement in the shape OF the ButtoI
ali ca IL was frat introduced and have also procnrot
patent for BUCKLE TIE which for simplicity
f.,ity and expedition of adjustment TO bales OF any
or of unequal sizes, and for security in holding, is,
think, superior to any offered to the public
Tho advantage OF iron over rope for baing cottof
are now universally acknowledged 1t holds the bal,
In much smaller compass is applied and fastened
With as much facility, both in the country pressing
and the pressing at the ports lessons immense
Nv the risk from fire. is stronger and its strength il
not impaired by time and exposure as Is tha OF rope
This last advantage has been srikingly manifested
during the war. Thousands OF bales OF cotton nav
been lost by the rottng and breaking OF rope which
could have been preserved If Iron hoops had beer
used In addition to this, it can be furnished cheap
err than Rope. The arrangement oflabor IN the henI
growing States has reduced the supply OF hemp &c
such extent as cause prices to rule unprecedent
Iy high indeed, a suhiciency for balng moderate
cotton crop cannot be relied on atany price.
/ j have arranged 1Or tne VI ."'s'
quantity OF the very best English Iron, and have
M ode arrangements with Messrs. Chambers Lat
ling. for the sale and delivery Of my Ties.
