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.
