When you Jjuy bethanized fence you get extra years of service 

 at no extra cost. You get tlie double value of an electrical zinc 

 coating that has been thoroughly tried and proved in service. A 

 coating that is so pure — 99.S>9 per cent — as to be praaically 

 immune to attack by weather. 



Bethanized fence started the trend toward electrical coatings. 

 It was introduced a year ago, after bethanized wire had proved 

 its superiority in every application over a period of three years. 

 At that time it was prediaed bethanized fence would begin a new- 

 era in fence manufacture. The recent swing toward electrical coat- 

 ings bears out this prediction. 



Practically pure zinc grows on the wire 



The bethanizing process grows pure zinc right on the wire. 

 There is no metallic zinc present in the system until it appears on 

 the wire. A casing of pure zinc is built up on the surgically clean 

 base wire from the highly purified solution. There is no chance 

 for impurities to get into the bethanized zinc armor. 



No zinc-iron alloy to cut down fence life 



Older processes depend on a layer of zinc-iron alloy to bond 

 the coating to the wire. Yet iron in zinc weakens its resistance 



to the weather. Consequently this zinc-iron alloy has little pro- 

 tective value. The bethanized coaling has the same high degre* 

 of weather-defying purity all the way to the wire. 



Bethanized coating is on to stay 

 The heavy bethanized coating is so tightly bonded to the wire 

 that it is unaffected by the roughest treatment. Bethanized wire 

 can be bent flat back on itself without cracking the protective 

 coating or causing the slightest flaking or peeling. That's why 

 bethanized fence won't rust out at the wrap joints. 



Uniformly thick coating everywhere 



Because it is electrically built up, atom by atom, on the base 

 wire, the bethanized coating is uniformly thick and heavy every- 

 where. There are no thin spots to rust out relatively soon and 

 cut down fence life. 



For further protection against rust, all bethanized fence is 

 woven of copper-bearing steel, containing from 0.20 to 0.30 pet 

 cent copper. It is available in the following styles: Bethanized 

 Lawn Fence; Bethanized Farm Fence; Bethanized Chick Fence.
