of Boston, put'oii the market the first j-ointci 
iuid finished Horse Shoe Nails ready lor driving. Previous 
lo that time all Horse Shoe Nails were pointed, and most of 
them made, by the shoers in their own shops at the rate of 
but six pounds per day. 
The Globe Nail was at once found to be much chespar 
and better than any then in use. It soon became so popular 
that all manufacturers of Horse Shoe Nails were compelled 
to make their Nails to resemble the Globe. For the last tan 
years it lias been the model. Each year the Nall has been 
greatly improved in quality, and to such a point have we 
educated the shoers that now they will hardly use a nail on- 
less it is absolutely perfect.

Globe Nail Co., Boston, Mass. 
Gentlemen: Find enclosed advertisement and postal card 
concerning your Nail. [Referring to a scurrilous advertise¬ 
ment and postal card, disparaging the Globe Sail, circulated 
by a rival manufacturer over the humbug signature of 
“Humane Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani¬ 
mals.” No Society bearing that title ever exisied.] As I 
take a great interest in the prevention of cruelty to animals, 
—horses in particular,—I desire to ' ay a few wo'rds in favor 
of Tile Globe Nail. Though I am not a very extensive 
Horse Slioer, yet I have used enough Nails of the different 
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, firm the heavy draft horse to ihe t< nder footed run¬ 
ning horse: and I can salelv gay it has do superior in 
point of Toughness, Shape, and Finish, if it has 
any equal. I haVe used about filtetn hundred pounds of 
t loue Nails a year for tlie last six years, and in that time I 
have found four imperfect Nails, two of which I returned to 
you about two years ago and received in return four perfect 
ones, for which'accept mv thanks. If my men had no better 
sense than to drive those imperfect Nails in a liorse’s foot, I 
would not consider li 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 gi t shoeing nails a few cents 
a pound cheaper, wc would have fewer lame horses. I 
know for snfetv and durability, with a man 
who understands his business to drive them, 
your Nails can’t be beat ! 1 am willing to pay, with¬ 
out anv suit, for «’l h rses Hint are lamed m my shop by 
using the Globe Nail. As loner as it is made as at prcsei t, I 
shall continue to n«e it. even 1!' I could get other Nads tor 
nothing. I consider it the safest Nail that was tver driven 
in a horse’s foot.
