JOB LOT OF POULTRY-NETTING. 



Small Pieces at same Bate as full Rolls— 1 ct. 

 per Square Foot. 



'I'wo or more pieces, .5 per cent ott ; ten or more, 10 

 per cent discount. 



You will notice in this lot some with heavier wire 

 than No. 19, and some with smaller mesh than two- 

 inch. Both of these are worth more at regular 

 prices than two-inch No. Ul; but as it is a job lot we 

 put it all in at the same price. 



By dividing tlu- number ot square feet in this col- 

 umn by the width in the tlrst column, you can ascer- 

 tain the length of each piece. These figures give the 

 number of square feet in each piece.
