This approved device for fastening rubber and leather belting was patented April, 1860 and March, 1861, and re-issued August, 1868. Messrs. Greene, Tweed & Co., 10 Park Place, New York, have the sole right to make and sell this invention, and during the last four years have supplied the studs to over ten thousand manufacturing concerns in the United States. They are recommended to be better and cheaper than either lacing or hooks..." |
