GREENFIELD TOOL CO., Greenfield, Mass. 
This drawing shows how many horses are made lame and 
permanently injured by the use of tlie cold-cut and sheared 
pointed nails. This process of manufacture produces 
lamination, causing the iron to form in layers, and when 
driven inlo the foot the horny fibres of which the hoof is 
composed cause the nail to separate at the point, and one 
portion passes into the foot. 
It requires but little observation and reflection, one 
would think, to arrive at the conclusion as to the kind of 
nails to be used, whether a mangled piece of iron, rendered 
dangerous by the Cold-Rolling and Shearing process, and 
liable to sliver in driving, tlius, 
or one made from the rod at a welding heat, where all the 
fibres remain intact, and a perfect oneness maintained, and 
which being pointed by the hammer renders such an acci¬ 
dent as slivering utterly impossible. 
“ Tlie Hot-forging process Is the only sure man¬ 
ner of making a true driving and safe nail. 
REV. W. H. H. MURRAY, 
Golden Rule, October 81,1877.” 
“ After long usage, can safely recommend to all owners of 
track and light-harness horses your Hot-Forged Horse Shoe 
Hails. I consider all sheared nails unsafe for shoeing. 
Respectfully yours, BUDD DOBLE."

Pointed Horse-Slioe Nail in tlie World 
that is not cut, clipped, or sheared upon the point, and will 
not split in driving, is made by the
