ENTIRE GLASS INSULATORS.

It is made by the Ajax Line Material Co., of Chicago, and will hold wires up to one-half inch outside diameter. The insulator is made of a single piece of glass toughened by annealing, and provided with a slot which the wire cannot leave by accident. It has a concave ribbed back, which fits snugly to the tree and keeps it from sliding.
