A Chicken Born with 12 Legs would be no bigger curiosity than a farmer who wouldn’t make more money off his land if he saw the way to do it. Did you ever stop to think, Mr. Farmer, what better fencing would mean in the way of added profits? The best fence —strongest,spring- iest, best resisting —around all of your land. The same best material in cross fences —making, more and smaller ' fields —permitting rotation of crops and change of pasture. American fence is the fence that meets every requirement, stands every test —a final triumph of the wiremaker’s art. It is made of selected materials, mined in the manufacturer’s own mines, selected, tested, tempered and perfected by special machinery and master-workers in the world’s greatest wire mills. There’s a style and weight that just fits your use—and you’ll find it right here in stock. Also small fish net, rat proof, wire, all sizes and heights. Verv truly, THE COPELAND-TURNER MERCANTILE CO.
