"G & B" Web=Wire Fencing 



MEETS THE POPULAR DEMAND FOR 



A Harmless Fence at a Reasonable Cost. 



HUNDREDS OF MILES IN USE 



BY SATISFIED CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE FOUND IT 



PERFECTLY SAFE for horses and cattle. 

 SUFFICIENTLY STRONG for vicious stock. 

 A SURE INCLOSURE for sheep and hogs. 

 A RELIABLE PROTECTION against dogs for 



sheep. 

 A SATISFACTORY FENCE to property-owners 



along railroads. 

 A FENCE COMBINED for both large and small 



animals. 

 A COMPACT MATERIAL for portable corrals. 

 Excellent for grapevine trellises. 



Animals will not bend it to crawl under or climb 

 over, or loosen it from the posts. 



"G & B" WEB-WIRE FENCING is made of the 

 best quality Heavy «jiiilvanlzed Steel Wire 

 (No. 14 in the meshes, No. 13 in tiie selvages) 

 woven into diamond-sh;ipe meshes by automatic 

 machinery, insuring a regulir and smootli fab- 

 ric, strengthened by tliree-»traiid rope sel- 

 vages at botli sides. 



The 3.x6 inch Mesli Is suggested for sheep-enclos- 

 ures; the 4x8 for cattle and hogs, and the 5i4x 

 10!^ for a ver.v low-priced funce lor any purpose 

 named. 



PRICE IN FULL ROLLS, 20 RODS EACH. 



All widths put up in bales 20 rods (330 feci) long. 



A higher price charged for lengtlis shorter than a 

 full bale. Sliipped direct from Chicago or New York. 



What we wish to call your attention to especially 

 is tlie following list of pieces and short rolls which 

 we can sell, to close them out, at less than fidl-mll 

 prices. In this list are some full rolls and pieces of 

 sizes which the factory have discontinued making, 

 and for that reason they offer them at a sacrifice to 

 clean up the stock of odds and ends. 



The above, you notice, is woven from galvanized 

 wire, while yon will find the most of the following 

 list is 4x7-inch mesh, galvanized after being woven, 

 and on that account very much superior, and more 

 expensive to make. It foiinerly sold for about 

 double the prices named below. It has also one 

 number heavier wire in the meshes than the rest, 

 being No. 13 wire throughout. All other sizes are 

 made of No. 14 galvanized wire, woven in the meshes, 

 anda3-strand rope of No. 13 wire for selvage, ex- 

 cept the 4x8, which has No. 10 wire selvage. 



The wide fencing is designed to be put up alone, 

 while the narrow widths are used at the top or bot- 

 tom in connection with barb-wire or other strand 

 fencing. Much narrow is used at the bottom of 

 posts for hogs and sheep, while for horses and cat- 

 tle it is often used at the top of posts in place of a 

 board or rail. 



All the fencing in the list, except the last few 

 lines, is in stock in Chicago and New York, and 

 shipments will be made from these points. That 

 you may know what is in stock at each place we 

 have inclosed within brackets [ ] all the stock in 

 New York ; and what is not so inclosed is at Chicago. 

 Tlie length of the pieces is given in feet, and the 

 price per foot as well as per rod. This fencing is 

 usually sold by the rod; but for convenience in 

 ascertaining the cost of each piece we have jriven 

 also the price per running foot, and you have sim- 

 ply to multiply the combined length of the pieces 

 you require by the price per foot to get the cost. 

 We get an additional discount if ordered in lots of 

 10 pieces; and, therefore, if you can use so much 

 you can secure this fence at a price which is below 

 what new regular stook in above list costs us at 

 wholesale. The freight from New York to Chicago 

 in l(X)-lb. lots or more is only from 2 to .5 cts. per rod; 

 so it any of our western customers desire some of 



the New York stock they need not refrain from or- 

 dering on account of fieight charges. 



In the following table the width in inches is 

 given in the first column; size of mesh in second; 

 price per rod in third; price per lineai' foot in fourth, 

 and a list of the pieces, with length in feet, in fifth.

\NIRE NETTING. 



SHORT ROLLS AT FULL-BOLL PRICES OR LESS. 



We have the following lot of wire netting of vari- 

 ous sizes and widths in short or odd-length rolls. 

 Very often a pei scm wants a piece and can not l)uy 

 it cut from a full roll \sithout pHying double price. 

 You may be able to find in this list just what you 

 need, or very near it. Even if you want more than 

 a full roll you will find the prices at which we offer 

 these to be in most cases less than full-roll price. 



Of 2-inch mesh No. 19 wire, we have the following 

 renmnnts and short rolls at i c per S(juare foot. 

 The figures at the left give the width in inches, and 

 the other figures give length of each piece in feet. 

 Multiply this by the width in feet, then take one- 

 half of the result to nnd the price of each piece.
