THE 
THi BIST llli iOi 
NAIL WER MADE. 
Abonr ten rears ago the GliOBE NAIL, COMPANY 
of Boston, put on llie niarkei the liist I'oimeii, polished 
and flni^hed fforse Slioe >.'ails readv for driving. Previous 
to that time all Horse Shoe Nails were pointed, and most of 
them made, by the slioers iu their own shops at the rate of 
but six poun-ls per day. 
Tlie Olobe Nail was at once found to be much cheaper 
and i)etter than any then in use. It soon became so popular 
that all manufacturers oi Horse Slice Nails were compelled 
to makt; their Nails to resemble the Globe. For the last ten 
years it has been the model. Each year the Nail has been 
greatly improveii In quality, and to such a point have we 
educated the shoers that no\v they will hardly use a nail un- 
less it is absolutely perfect.

Globe Nail Co., Bostox, Mass. 
Gentlemen : Find enclosed advertisement and postal card 
concerning your Nail. [Referring to a scurrilous advertise- 
ment and postal card, disparaging the Globe Nail, circulated 
by a rival manufacturer over the humbug signature of 
"Humane Society lor the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- 
mals." No Society bearing that title ever existed.] As I 
take a great interest in the prevention of cruelty to animals, 
—horses in particular,— I desire to ^ay a few woVds in favor 
of The Crlobe Nail. Though I am not a very extensive 
Horse Shoer, yet I have used enough Nails of the ditferent 
makes to speak knowingly. I have used the Globe Nailin 
my shoi> and on the race track for six years, on all classes of 
horses, from tlie heavy draft horse to the tender footed i-nn- 
ning horse: and [ can salely say it has no superior in 
point of Tonehness. S1iape» and Finish, if it has 
any equal. I have used about fiiteen hundred poutuis ot 
Globe Nails a year for the last six years, and in that time I 
have found four imperfect Nails, two of which X returned to 
you about two rears ago and received in return four perfect 
ones, for which accept my thanks. If my men had no better 
sense than to drive those imperfect Nails in a horse's foot, I 
would not consider it the fault of the Nail if the horse was 
lamed. If bossi-s would look more to the competency of 
their men and le^s to trying to gt-t shoeing nails a few cents 
a pound cheaper, we would liave fewer lame horses. I 
know for safety and clnraMlity} vrith a man 
-who understands his business to drive them, 
your Nails can't he beat ! 1 am willing to pav, with- 
oin any suit, for all harj:es that are himeU in my shop bv 
using the Globe Nail. As'long as it is made as at present, 1 
shall conthiue to use it, even if I could get other Nails for 
nothing. I consider it the safest Nail that was ever driven 
in a horse's foot.

Is one of those inventions that commends itself to the 
PKACTICAJj BIAN as the COBIMO IV- SENSE 
SPIIIXG, being a side-spring without the unpleasant and 
dangerous side motion of the Concord, and obviating the 
jerking of the Elliptic. Being without perch, gives inde- 
pendent action to each wheel, making them much more 
durable. The SPRINGS are made of special CRUCI- 
BLE STEEL, and are fully warranted. 
The OEXTER supplies a want long felt by the Parai- 
er. Business Man, and Physician, as it gives them 
the easiest riding and most durable SPRING "VEHI- 
CliE known, and much less liable to "break than the 
ordinary spring, on account of quality and form.
