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 gal- 

 vanizing that will effectually protect against weather 

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

 fences — the product of the greatest mines, steel :w 



producing plants and wire mills in the world 

 And with these good facilities and the old 

 and skilled employes back of them, we 

 maintain the highest standaid of ex- 

 cellence possible for human skill 

 and ingenuity topioduce.

 ing styles adapted to every /
