No. 3 is 2 J feet high, with meshes 3 inches square ; it has three lateral No. 10 

 wires, with the body work of No. 14 wire. It is 7 j lbs., and $1 50 per rod. 



No. 4 is precisely like the third kind, save -that the lateral wire in the middle is 

 ouiittcd. It is 63 ll»s. and $1 37^ per rod. These kinds are the best for ceme- 

 teries, gardens, door-yards, heueries, etc. 



No. 5 is 16 inches high, with meshes three inches square ; there are two (outside) 

 lateral wires of No. 12 wire; the body is of No. 15. It is 4;^ lbs. and 75 cents 

 per rod. It is used for ornamental garden work. 



No. 6, extra, is 32 feet high, with meshes 6 inches square ; it has four lateral 

 No. 8 wires, with body work of No. 11 wire. It is 10 lbs., and $1 50 per rod. 

 This kind makes the best and most practicable barrier against cattle, around fields, 

 along canals, railroads, etc. Some of the railroad companies have already adopted 

 it. Indeed, it is emphatically a railroad fence. 



No. 7 is precisely like the sixth kind, except that the two middle lateral wires 

 are omitted. It is 8^ lbs. and $1 per rod. It is the cheapest sheep fence that 

 can be erected ; and, like the second kind, it is admirably adapted for trellis work 

 for grape-vines and roses, for garden arbors, etc., as seen by second diagram. 



The prices given above are those at which we 

 deliver the fence in rolls at the Boston Depot, 

 for cash in all cases ; the cost of transportation 

 to be defrayed by the purchaser. A roll con- 

 tains about twenty-five rods ; and less than one 

 roll will not be sold, unless as a sample. 



None of our fence is consigned ; but a discount 

 of twenty per cent, on the above prices is made 

 to agents, retailers, and others, giving an order 

 to the extent of $500 ; and any person or firm, 

 who will make an effort to introduce our fence, 

 can have an agency in anyplace where an exclu- 

 sive agency is not already established, on appli- 

 cation to the proprietors, giving suitable refer- 

 ences as to his commercial responsibility. Re- 

 tailers and agents are expected to advertise. An 

 extensive field for the operation of agents is still 

 open, especially in the West. 



Our fencing is varnished black with asphaltum 



varnish, before leaving the mill ; the varnish 



gives it a beautiful ai)pcarance, and protects it 



from the influence of the weather — from rust. If preserved from oxidization by 



this varnish, or by paint, or tar, or japanning, or galvanizing, the fence will never 



wear out ; but the varnish will require renewing once in every four or five years. 



This fence is impassable to all stock ; it does not " hold" the wind, and can never 



own down in a gale ; no flood will wash it away, since it offers no resistance
