Thia Rod is in general use in Central Indiana, and many other localities throughout the 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 conducting power. This Rod has received the First Premiums at the American Institute of New York ; the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia; the National Fair at Louisville, Ky.; the State Fairs of Ohio, lowa, Indiana, Connecticut, and wherever exhibited. It was never beaten in any contest, and- never will bo where there are truly scientific judges.
