We offer unusual inducements to persons who arc engaged in putting up Rods or who may desire to engage in this business. County and State Rights for sale. This Rod is in general use in Central Indiana, and many other localities throughout tho country. It always succeeds wherever it is introduced. It is no humbug. No man who examines its merits will ever buy any other Rod. The old iron rods give way before it as ignorance flies before the advance of light.— According to Prof. Faraday, and other men of note, copper has a conducting power 5 to 8 times greater than iron; and, in addition to this important fact, Munson’s Rod has a surface inside and out, nearly three times as great as the old iron rod. Munson’s Rod is an ornament on the best buildings, and does not rust, but will endure an age without losing its conduct ing power. This Rod has received the First Frc.niwms at tho American Institute of New York ; the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia; tho National F’air at Louisville, Ky. ; the State Fairs of Ohio, lowa, Indiana, Connecticut, and wherever exhibited. 11 was never beaten in any contest, and never will bo where there are truly scientific judges.
