The SUPERIORITY OF THE CAPEWELL HORSE NAILS has been Fully Demonstrated. THEY NEVER CRIMP in driving in the hardest hoof; they are flexible to twist and clinch, and the clinch holds against any strain in service.
THEY ARE "THE BEST DRIVING NAIL.," being the smoothest in finish from head to point. THEY ARE UNIFORM in length, breadth, and thickness.
THEY NEVER SPLIT IN DRIVING.
THEY NEVER BREAK UNDER THE HEADS, but hold the shoe until it is worn ont. THEY ARE MADE FROM THE BEST SWEDISH IRON RODS, specially imported, the quality of which is improved in compactness, tenacity, and uniformity of temper, by the Capewell process, CONTROLLED EXCLUSIVELY BY THIS COMPANY. Their tensile strength is one-half greater than that of any other nail made.
