their superiority over every other shoe.
Experience has taught end proved that
no other form of a shoe Is SO comfortable
for the animal on all conditions OF the
ground to be travelled over or gives him
so much power. 1t cannot ball up in the
snow or get clogged with mud or clay. IL
Will not pick up stones or throw gravel or
sand. Making these shoes in their PREF
ent form enables them to dispense with
all the useless material, following as near
to the form and thickness of the shell OF
the hoof as is possible, the aim being to
aid nature by protecting the shell without
loading the animal dow with unnecessary
weight, thus enabling them to reduce the
weight of these shoes about II of the
weight OF the regular standard fiat shoes
of the same size. The have the
largest variety of sizes and patterns of
shoes OF all descriptions OF any manufac-
tory in the world and are SO prepared that

Kegs barrels, having one OF the largest
cooperagc plants in the country as well
as their own rolling mill, enabling them

Lutte satisfaction in any article manufac-
tured. The company employs over 500
hands constantly throughout the year In

while the territory covered by their opera
lions comprises every part of the known

and patient toll, for many years, through
its general manager, Mr.. Charles III. Per-
kins, have devised machines aud appli-
ances, all of which are covered by patents

brated horse and mule shoes at prices that
