The Advantages ROPE TRACE are its ready applicationto Horse-Car service, or toany other purpose wherecheap harness is required.It only costs about half asmuch as leather traces,while at the same timeone set of Rope Tugs will(when used on horse cars)take the place of three ormore sets of leathertraces, as the Tugs remain ■attached to the car allday, no matter how manychanges of stock aremade. The relief horseshaving hooks attached totheir names, all that isnecessary is to unhook thetugs from the workingteam back in the freshhorses, hook on the tugs,and the change is made.Railroad men will at onceperceive their adaptabil-ity and economy from theabove facts. They willalso last longer than leath-er traces, and require butvery little care. Fromtheir durability and cheap-ness they are also espec-ially adapted for all kindsof farm use and heavyteaming, as farmers, etc.,can easily repair them. Patent No. 171,883, December 31, 1875.
