THE 
GLOBE NAIL. 
THE HT MIS SHOE 
MIL EVER MADE. 
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 shops at the rate of 
but six pounds per day. 
The Globe Nail was at once found to he much cheaper 
and better than any then in use. It soon became so popular 
that all manufacturers o£ 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 shoers that now they will hardly use a nail un¬ 
less it is absolutely perfect. 
At tiie Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, we were 
awarded the Medal and the following report, far stronger 
than that given upon any other Nail:

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.

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 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 Nail. Though I am not a very extensive 
Horse Shoer, 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, from the heavy draft horse to the tender footed run¬ 
ning horse; and 1 can safely say it has no superior In 
point of Toughness, Shape, and Finish, if it hns 
any equal. I have used about filteen hundred pounds of 
Globe Mails 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 if the fault of the Nail if the horse was 
lamed. If bosses would look more to Jhe competency of 
their men and less to trying to get shoeing nails a few cents 
a pound cheaper, we would nave 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 ! Iam willing to pay, with¬ 
out any suit, lor all horses that are lamed in my shop by 
using the Globe 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 
in a horse’s foot. 
Yours Very Respectfully,
