The demand for fence netting or fabric made from 

 wire, for the purpose of restraining domestic animals 

 and fowls, has grown to vast proportions, and, like 

 every thing else, the mode of manufacturing the 

 same has undergone important changes. After test- 

 ing many different makes we have purchased a large 

 stock of the "Climax" netting, which is practically 

 the G. & B. netting improved. The same being far su- 

 perior to the product of recent years or inexperienced 

 manufacture of to-day. It is a well-known fact that 

 frequently ordinary steel wire is neated in the process 

 of manufacture, and, when finished, is soft, and pos- 

 sesses a low degree of tensile strength and elasticity. 

 Although wire of this kind is more easily manipul ited 

 in manufacturing, it is also true that the netting is 

 more easily bent out of shape. All wire used in the 

 "Climax" netting is manufactured by a patent pro- 

 cess described as "cold drawn " steel wire. By this 

 process the wire is not heated to a point that will de- 

 tract in the least from the tensile strength, and, when 

 woven, forms a fabric capable of wilhstandirg a much 

 greater strain than other brands of netting made 

 from No. 19 wire or heavier. "Climax" poultry-net- 

 ting therefore possesses an exclusive advantage, in 

 point of the superiority of its wire, over all others. 



Another notable feature of the " Climax " netting is 

 the Jo>ig ticist in the meshes. With a long twi.st the 

 wires are laid side by side for a greater distance, 

 thereby making it much more rigid and strong. The 

 meshes are uniform, and three-strand selvages con- 

 tribute to the strength where usually required most. 



"CLIMAX" POULTRY-NETTING. 

 Because the selvages are perfectly uniform in length 

 and also equal in body, "Climax ' poultry-netting will 

 roll out flat and straight, and smooth as a carpet or

"CLIMAX" SHEEP AND HOG FENCING. 



THREE STR.AND TWISTED SELV.AGAS. SOLD ONLY I.V 

 FULL BALES, 20 RODS^(330 FEET) LONG. 



The " Climax " meets the demand for a strong and 

 durable fencing for sheep and hogs. Each strand of 

 wire is capable of sustaining a strain of at lea^^t 300 

 pounds, thus being aifcply strong for any ordinary 

 requirements. The meshes are small enough (3x4 in., 

 instead of 3x0 in. formerly), to stop small animals, 

 while the shape of the mesh affords sufficient rigidity 

 to the fabric to prevent sagging between the posts; 

 also animals can not bend the fencing to crawl under. 

 Being galvanized after weaving, the coating will 

 withstand the action of the atmosphere for at least 25 

 years. In addition the wires are soldered where 

 twisted, which unites them and combines the 

 strength of all. It is the best material ever offered 

 for the purpose at as low a price.
