UNITED STATES PATENT, APRIL, 1865.
IN FASSMAN'S PATENT IRON TIES. the
L hoop tor the button is 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 ends
to De brought together,-the two hole end on top
and the button inserted. One button will answer,
but it is better insert two.
With the Buckle Tie, end of the hoop is fas-
tened to section of the Buckle the other end is
inserted in the other section, and simply showed
through it under the other end as long there is
any slack bite ON the buckle holds it securely to
to its place.
The hoops are painted to prevent rust and cut in
lengths OflO, 104 and feet Ten feet most gen
orally used, but 10t and IL sometimes required
for large bales. The buckles are fastened to the
hoops, the buttons will be put up in small boxes.
The Height is about 10 Pounds to the Bale of
Cotton.
The advantages of iron rope for baling cotton
are now universally acknowledged 1t holds the
bale IN much smaller compass is applied and fas-
tened with 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,
seed strikingly manifested during the war eTbon
bands 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
to this it can be furnished cheaper than Rope The
arrangement of labor in the hemp growing States
has reduced the supply of hemp to such an extent
as TO cause prices rule unprecedtntlV high: in
deed a suftciency for baling moderate cotton crop
cannot be relied on at any price
have arranged for the importation of a large
quantity of the best English Iron, and have made
arrangements with Messrs. Chambers & Latting for
the sale and delivery of my Ties
The undersigned Fire Warden and Fire Tns,ec-
tor of the New Orleans Insurance Companies are of
opinion that the Iron Tie affords greater protection
against loss in of fire than the old stvle of baIin
with rope j. YOUENES, Fire Warden

H. FaSsmann Esq Orleans Cotton Press
SIR: In January last rece from your Press 1889
oales OF cotton, of which about 1000 were recon
pressed and bound with your Iron Tie" 1
can safely affirm that the cotton so bound was re-
celved in better order than it generally comes from
the Presses that it slowed better and enabled the
snip TO carry more than on any previous voyage
The cotton when discharged from the ship in
Liverpool was in better order than the rope bound
COTTON, 1t is highly preferable for ground tier as
dampness from the ballast has no effect upon it for
rot tho rope bound. / confidently recommend
your Iron Tie / took this lot for an experiment
ana carefully watched it both in loading and dis
charging.
am Sir, Yours Respectfully,
JOHN HOWARD, Master
