pear on a bale of cotton.
The hoop for the button il punched with two
holes at one end and fifteen at the other. The band
has only to be drawn tight the holes in the two ennis
to be brought tOgether-the two hole end on top

The hoops are painted to prevent rust and cut in
lengths of 10 100 and IL feet Ten feet are most gen
orally used but lO4 and IL are sometimes required
for large bales The buckles fastened to the
hoops the buttons will be put up in small boxes
The Ueiqht is about 10 Pounds to the Bale Of
Cotton
NV Button Tie was the first offered for sale to any
extent in the South and has been used by thousands
of Planters with universal approval, l have made
a valuable Improvement in the shape of the button
since it was first introduced and have also procur
ed a patent for BUCKLE TIE which for slmphcf-
ty facility and expedition Of adjustment to bales OF
any or unequal sizes and for security OF holding is
l think superior to any offered to the public.
The advantages OF iron over rope for bang cotton
are now universally acknowledged. 1t holds the
bale in much smaller compass; is applied and las
tened with as much facility, both in the country
pressing and the accomplishing at the sea ports;
lessons immensely the risk from fire; is stronger,
and its strength is not impaired by time and expo
sure as is that OF rope ms last savan1agS mas
sands of bales of Cotton have been lost by the rot
ting and breaking of Rope which could have been
preserved if Iron hoops had been used In addition

derangement of labor in the hemp growing states
has reduced the supply of hemp to such an extent
as to cause prices to rule unpreceoenIy nlgn IN
deed a suffciency for baing moderate cotton crop
cannot be relied on at any pr1ce.
/ have arranged for the importation OF a large
quantity of the best English Iron, and have made
arrangements with Messrs. Chambers Latttng for
the sale and delivery of my Ties.
