THE 
GLOBE NAIL. 
THE HIST HOUSE SHOE 
MAIL EVER ME. 
About,ten years ago the GLOBE NAIL COMPANY 
of Boston, put on the market the first pointed, polished 
and finished Horse Shoe Nails ready for driving. Previous 
to that time all Horse Shoe Nails were pointed, and most of 
them made, by the slioers in their own sliops at the rate of 
but six pounds per day. 
The Globe Nail was at once found to be much cheaper 
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 ten 
years it has been the model. Each year the Nail has been 
greatly improved in quality, and to such a point have we 
educated the slioers that now they will hardly use a nail un¬ 
less it is absolutely perfect.

At the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, we were 
awarded the Medal and the following report, far stronger 
than that given upon any other Nail:

[Bureau or Awards.] 
Philadelphia, June 21,1876. 
No. 239, Globe Nail Co., Boston. Mass .: 
Horse Shoe Nalls, Pointed, Polished and Finished. The 
uniformity in size, smoothness of finish, hardness and tenaci¬ 
ty of the iron, closeness of fibre, and excellence of the head 
and point, the tensile strength of bodv, and riveting proper¬ 
ties of these Nails, unite in making them of the very highest 
class of manufacture. 
Recommended for an Award of Merit.

Gentlemen: Find enclosed advertisement and postal card 
concerning your Nail. [Referring to a scurrilous advertise¬ 
ment and postal card, disparaging the Globe Nail, circulated 
bv a rival manufacturer over the humbug signature of 
“Humane Society for 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 say a few words In favor 
of The Globe Na.il. 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 trade for six years, on all classes of 
horses, from the heavy draft horse to the tender footed run¬ 
ning horse: and [ can safely say it 1ms no superior in 
point of Toughness, Shape, and Finish, if it has 
any equal. I have used about fitteen hundred pounds of 
Globe Nails a year for the 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 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 bosses would look more to the competency of 
their men and less to trying to get shoeing nails a few cents 
a pound cheaper, we would have fewer lame horses. I 
know for safety and durability, with a man 
who understands his business to drive them, 
your Nails can’t be beat ! I am willing to pay, with¬ 
out any suit, for all horses that are lamed in my shop bv 
using the Globe Nail. As long as it is made ns 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 
in a horse’s foot. 
Yours Very Respectfully,

THE CELEBRATED 
Dexter Spring 
Is one of those inventions that commends itself to the 
PRACTICAL MAN as the COMMON-SENSE 
SPRING, 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 STEER, and are fully warranted. 
The DEXTER supplies a want long felt by the Farm¬ 
er, Business Man, and Physician, as it gives them 
the easiest riding and most durable SPRING VEHI¬ 
CLE known, and much less liable to break than the 
ordinary spring, on account of quality and form.
