Nancy 4 Sbsifer-Geuts: L have carefully eX-
aminsd into the merits Of the Lightning Con-
duct0r which you propose 10 introduce to this
community. The material is the very best. and
the construction and mode Of putting up. IN &C
eordauce with the views Of the most distin-
guishsa electricians who have, in recent years,

VILE. Nashville. Tenn, July 2 ls6s.-
Messrs. Nancy & Shaifer-Gents.: believe
that much Of the popular want of faith
to be traced to an imperfect construc-
ton Of tbs rods themselves. Unless one be
made strictly in accordance with scientific pTin-
eiples, il Is worse than useless passed a 6uiit-
IN the city this morning, covered nth lightning
rods, ichieh are "a eUsTy ray. calculated 10 tear
that building % pieces. The rods hcisfed and
aftsmpted 10 be tnsHkGfed by felD taches Of glass;
as u the electric spark. t0hieh tear the moan
tam into shreds to0Hld be stopped us career By
tAe neck Of bottle.
Your plan Ofmaking lightning rods is certain
~ by far the best have seen or read of. The
large surface It affords for the fluid to accumu-
late OD-the security Of the method Of uniting
the sections OF the tube-the placing Of the lines
against the building, and the material "copper"
Of which it Is composed. being an infinitely bet
ter conductor than iron, are the chief points
which recommend Halls lightning rod above all
others hitherto invented, No objection can Be
faiTlp brought dgdiHst It. and its protection 10 q
budding Is calculated % oufiiUe the eristencso Of
any ordinary building Itself Very truly yours.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 5, IS69-Messrs. Ma
ney 4 Shaifsr-Gents: In former days gave q
great deal of attention TO Lightning Rods as a
means Of profession for buildings. Halls Cop
per Scroll Lightning Rod. now before me, u bef7
ter than the common iron just IN proportion -
copper is a better conductor than iron, and al
so 10 proportion to the greater surface which
il offers.
Taking into account the greater surface and
the superior conducting power Of copper, One
Of Halls Rods is equal in conducting power to
about ISirtesa of the iron rods commonly used
in this country. The Point in this rod is per-
feet and the manner of putting up the rod is
he one approved BY Science and proven by ex-
1erienee to be the safest / would also value
his rod greatly above the iron by reason Of its
ightness-being therefor so much less liable TO
ret loose from its fastenings than the heavy
ron rods in common use. @. ID. ELLIOTT,
