Wire Nails. 



There being considerable demand for wire nails, I 

 have concluded to carry a stock of them, and can fill 

 orders for any quantity promptly. For nailing Sec- 

 tions, Cases, Frames, Racks, Crates, Ac, they have 

 become quite popular. 



The entire length of tbe nail being the same thick- 

 ness, they never loosen as ordinary iron nails will, 

 and are not as liable to bend or break. 



From the assortment of lengths given in the table 

 below, any kind of nailing may be done with these 

 nails, even to making large boxes.
