A higher price charged for lengths shorter than a 

 full bale. Sliipped direct from Clii'iago or New York. 



What we wisli to call your attention to especially 

 is tiie following list of pieces and short rolls which 

 we can sell, to close them out, at less than full-roU 

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

 sizes which the factory have discontinued making, 

 and for that reason tliey offer them at a sacrifice to 

 clean up the stock of odds and ends. 



The above, you notice, is woven from galvanized 

 wire, while you will find the most of tlie following 

 list is 4.K7-inch mesn, galvanized after being woven, 

 and on that account very much suijerior, and more 

 expensive to make. It formerlj' sold for about 

 double the prices named below. It has also one 

 number lieavier wire in the meshes than tlie rest, 

 being No. 13 wire throughout. All other sizes are 

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

 and a 3-straiid 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, exceitt the last few 

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

 shipments will be made from these poilits. Tliat 

 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. 

 The length of the pieces is given in teet, 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 given 

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

 l)ly to multiply the combined length of the pieces 

 you require by the jirice 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 tit a price which is below 

 what new regular stock in above list costs us at 

 wholesale. Tlie freight from New York to Chicago 

 in 100-lb. lots or more is only from ;i to 6 cts. per rod; 

 so if any of our western customers desire some of 

 the New York stock they need not refrain from or- 

 dering on account of freight charges. 



In the following table tlie width in inches is 

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



price perrodin third; price per linear foot in fourth, 

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