Note On Beaded Wraps.

ASte VA 1SN~S~ UANf"s
In calling your attention to
our elegant line of Beaded
Spring Wraps we are con-
strained to make the follow
ing remarks:
In view of the liability OF
cheaply-made BeadedWraps
to break on account OF the
thread not being strong
enough to bear the weight
of the jet, we have confined
our selections exclusively to
the French handmade net,
made from hard, firmly
twisted silk, beaded by hand,
knotted at each mesh, max
ing the thread extremely
durable and impossible to
ravel, thus overcoming the
only objection to these
handsome wraps.
We have them in various shapes, in black
and few popular colors. Prices $40 TO $40
each.

It is protection against shocks from what
are called high tension currents. such as
the currents that flow from the telephone

these wires, do so at great risk, and some
have been killed. In view of this a Mr.
