TTN Fl above cut represents three of the
L Button and three of the Buckle lie as they ap-
pear a bale of cotton.
The hoop for the button Is punched with two
holes at end and fifteen at the other. The band
has only be drawn tight the holes in the two ends
to be brought tOgetheT,--the two hole end on top
and the button inserted. One button will answer
but ii is better 10 insert two.
With the Buckle Tie, one end OF the hoop Is las
tened to one section of the Buckle the other end Is
inserted in the other section, and simply showed
through it under the other end as long as there is
any slack bite on the buckle holds 1t securely 10
to its place. =
lengths of TO- lO5 and ii feet Ten feet are most gen
orally used but l0t and IL sometimes required
for large bales. The buckles fastened to the
hoops, the buttons will be put up in small boxes
The UeigH is ibOm 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, have made
a valuable improvement in the shape OF the button
since it was first introduced; and have also procur-
ed patent for a BUCKLE TIE winch 1Or slmpncl-
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 banhg cOttOh
are now universally acknowledged. 1t holds the
bale in much smaller compass; is applied and las
tened with as much facility Doth IN the coulSI y
pressing and the accomplishing at the sea ports;
lessons immensely the risk from hre; IS stronger
and its strength is not impaired by time and expo
sure as is that of rope. This last advantage mas
heed strikingly manifested during the war Thou.
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
to this it can be furnished cheaper than Rope line
advancement of labor in the hemp growing states
has reduced the supply of hemp to such an extent
as to cause prices to rule unpreeedently high; in
deed sufficency for balng moderate cotton crop
| cannot be relied on at any price
| I have arranged for the importation of a large
| quantity of the best English Iron, and have made
| arrangements with Messrs. Chambers & Latt'ng Ion
