Nothing adds more to the beauty and attractive- 

 ness of your grounds than a good, substantial 

 fence. Permanency is of prime importance, too. 

 Select the fence that defies rust and withstands 

 all weather conditions. 



fences are made of big, strong wires wilh clamped joints 

 which prevent slipping, sagging or twisting. This exclusive 

 feature assures unusual rigidity under the most severe strain. 

 Excelsior Fences are dipped in molten zinc which makes 

 them practically indestructible. Write for Catalog J from 

 which to select the style best suited to your needs. Ask 

 your hardware dealer for Excelsior " Rust Proof " 

 Trellises, Flower and Tree Guards.
