 The Pnqp XVnven Wire Fence Co., Ailrinn,Mich.: , 



Gii.NTi.K.MEN:— About a year ago 1 procured from 

 you a roll of your woven wire fence, with the in- 

 tention of probing its merits. The fence was used 

 for the enclosing of a yard containing a consider- 

 able number of cattle. It was thus put to a severe 

 test. It gives mo great pleasure to inform you that 

 the fence gave the greatest possible satisfaction. I 

 concluded that no other fence should ever be erect- 

 ed on Itiverside Farm while I had the control of it. 

 ntending to repair an old barbed wire fence in a 

 manner to give complete protection against the in- 

 trusion of hogs, 1 beg to inclose my order for sever- 

 al rolls of the fence woven for that special pur- 

 pose. 



1 remain, gentlemen, with high regards, yours 

 truly. FK.ANCIS A. IIOFFMaX,
