| TEXT | The inventor or manufacturer of every useful and ingenious device or apparatus, especially such as either mitigates toil or increases its efficiacy, is not only to be regarded with consideration by the community to which he belongs, but is in reality the means of affording a new outlet for labor and capital, perhaps otherwise unemployed. In devising the I. X. L. Tug Link, Messrs. Daniel Risher, Jr, and Daniel R. McClure, as D. Risher & Co., may properly be classed among those to whom these remarks apply as in the manufacture of their specialty they are not only supplying an appliance greatly needed, but contribute in no small degree to the comfort and ease of draft animals. The Tug Link of
which the accompanying cut presents an admirable idea, is designed as an intermediate attachment between the single tree and trace on all road vehicles and agricultural implements, and its action not only tends to increase the durability of gear and harness by the neutralization of all shocks in starting or jars from sudden obstruction's, but lessens the racket upon the horse by softening the strains upon the collar. These links are warranted not to get out of order more than an ordinary trace chain, and are constructed for simple and easy application with ring hook or open link ; are sold at tlie very moderate price of fl.75 per pair. Those ordering by mail should describe which of the above styles they desire. Endorsements of this effective little apparatus come from all parts of the country and are backed by the best houses in Pittsburgh. Thomas C. Jenkins, the well known wholesale grocer, says: "They are the most complete invention yet introduced." C. P. Markle ct Sons, the celebrated paper manufacturers, write: "We consider your Tugs a greater benefit and saving than tlie springs of a buggy or wagon." Mr. C. S. Sedgewick, the agent of the Adams Express Co., remarks, after describing the action of the link at some length: "They have my hearty endorsement as avoiding concussions and protecting the shoulders of the horses." These with hundreds of others, after extended trial and experiment, concur in one uniform testimony to the value of the I. X. L. Tug Link. They are also beginning the manufacturing of a valuable improvement of a permanent spring attachment to the end of the whiflle tree for buggies and carriages, to which is a secure fastening for the traces; advantages attained by this article are a saving to traces and a great comfort and ease to the rider, giving much more regular motion to the vehicle. Both members of the house are natives of this city and were born respectively in 1842 and 1846. They are energetic, ingenious, practical and reliable gentlemen, well known in this community and richly entitled to the signal success that has and is attending their efforts. |
