GLOBE NAIL 
III EVIR MADE. 
Ahonr ten years ago the GLOBE NAIL COMPANY 
of Boston, put oil Uie nim-ket llie lirst pointed, polished 
and flnislied Horse Shoe Nails ie;^(ty for driving. Previous 
to that tim3 all Horse Shoe Nails wure pointed, and most ol 
them made, by tlie shoers in their owu shops at the rate ot 
but six pounds per day. 
Tlie Globe Nail was at once found to be much cheaper 
and better than any tlien in use It soon became so popular 
that all inanufactuiers oi Horse Slioe Nails were compelled 
to make theii Nails to resemble the Globe. For the last ten 
years it has been the model. Eacli year the Nail has been 
greatlr improved in quality, and to sucli a point have we 
(fdncated the shoers that now they will hardly use a nail un- 
less it is absolutely perfect

Gentlemen : Fhid enclosed advertisement and postal card 
concerning your Nail. [Referring to a scurrilous advei-tise- 
raent and postal card, disparaging the Globe Nail, circulated 
by a rival manufacturer over the Immbug signature of 
■Hunuine Society lor the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- 
malB.'- 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 say a few words in favor 
of Tim Olobe Nail. Thougli I am not a very extensive 
Horse Slioer, yet I have used enough Nails of the dill'erent 
makes to speak knowingly. I have used the Globe Nail in 
my shop and on the race track for six years, on all classes of 
horses, from the heavy draft horse to the tcndnr footed run- 
ning hor.=^e ; and [ can safely say it lias no superior in 
point of Toughness , Shapct and Fiutsli, if it haa 
any equal, l have used about filteen huri<ln;(l iionnds of 
Globe Nails a year for the last six yeais, and in tliattiine I 
have found four Imperfect Nails, two of whit-h I returned to 
you about two yerti's ago and received in return four perfect 
ones, for wliicli accept my thanks. If my )nen had no better 
sens(! than to diive those imperfect Nails in a liorse'a loot, I 
would not consider it the fault of the Nail if the horse was 
lamed. If bosses would look more to the competency of 
their men and less to trying to gft shoeing nails a few cents 
a pound cheaper, we would have ffwer lame liorses. I 
know for safety and durability, Ttith a man 
vFho understands his business to drive them, 
your Nails can't be beat ! I am willing to pav, with- 
out any suit, lor all hur.ses that are himed in mvshopbv 
using the Glol)e Nail. As long as it is made as at present, "I 
shall continue to use it, even if I could get other Nails for 
nothing. I consider it the safest Nail that was ever driven 
iQ a horse's foot.
