UNITED STATES PATENT, APRIL, 1868.
TN FASSMAN'S PATENT IRON TIES, the
Il hoop tor the button is punched with two
holes at end and fifteen at the other. The band
has only to be drawn tight the holes in the two ends
TO bb brought tOgether,-the two hole end on top
and the button inserted. One button will answer,
but it is better to insert two.
With the Buckle Tie, one 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 1t under the other end as long there is
any slack bite on the buckle holds it securely to
The hoops are painted to prevent rust, and cut in
lengths of 10, 1O3 and feet Ten feet most gen.
orally used, but 10t and Ii are sometimes required
for large bales. The buckles fastened to the
hoops, the buttons will be put up in small boxes.
The Weight is about 10 Pounds to the Bale of
Cotton.
The advantages of iron over rope for baing cotton
are now universally acknowledged. 1t holds the
bale in a 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
sure as is that of rope. This last advantage has
seed strikiDgly manifested during the war Thou
bands of bales of Cotton have been lost by the
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 tates
has reduced the supply of hemp to such an extent
as to cause prices to rule unprecedently high: in
deed a sufficiency for baling moderate cotton CROP
cannot be relied on at any price.
/ have arranged fer the importation of a large
quantity of the best English Iron, and have made
arrangements with Messrs Chambers g. Latting for
the sale and delivery of my Ties.
The undersigned Fire Warden and Fire Inspec-
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 style of bang
with rope. j. YOUENES Fl 9 Warden

bales of cotton. of which about 1000 were recon
pressed and bound with your new Iron Tie" I
can safely affirm that the cotton bound was re-.
celved in better order than it generally from
the Presses, that it slowed better and enabled the
ship to carry more than on any previous voyage
The cotton when discharged from the ship in
Liverpool, was in better orde than the rope bound
cotton, it is highly preferable for ground tier as
dampness from the ballast has effect upon it, for
it is well known by pract cal men that damp will
rot tho rope bound I confid ntly recommend
your Iron Tie, took this lot for experiment
and carefully watched it both in loading and dis
charging.
