GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

Made of wire that is 

 all life and strength — wire 

 that stretches true and tight 

 and yields just enough under impact 

 to give back every jolt and jam it 

 receives. 



Made of materials selected and tested 

 in all the stages from our own mines, 

 through our own blast furnaces and rolling 

 and wire mills, to the finished product. Our 

 employment of specially adapted metals is 

 of great importance in fence wire; a wire 



that must be hard yet not brittle; stiff and springy yet 

 flexible enough for splicing — best and most durable 

 fence material on earth. 



To obtain these and in addition apply a quality of tjnl- :■ 

 vanizingthat will effectually protect against wealhci 

 conditions, is a triumph of the wiremaker's art. 



These are combined in the American and EUwood 

 fences — the product of the greatest mines, steel 

 producing plants and wire mills in the world . 

 And with these good facilities and the old 

 and skilled employes back of them, \\( 

 maintain the highest standard of ex- 

 cellence possible for human skill 

 and ingenuity to produce. 



Dealers everywhere, carry- 

 ing styles adapted to every 

 purpose. See them.
