All widthx put up in bales 20 rods {330 feet) long. 



A higher price charged for lengths sliorier than a 

 full bale. Shipped direct from Chie;igo or New York. 



What we wisli to call your atteutltni to especially 

 is tlie following list of piece-s and short rolls which 

 we can sell, to close them out, at Jess thaiifuU-roll 

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

 sizes which the factory have discositinued making, 

 and for that reason they 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 the following 

 list is 4x7-inch mesh, galvanized after being woven, 

 and on tliat account very much superior, and more 

 ■expensive to make. It formerly sold for about 

 double the prices named below. It has also one 

 number heavier wire in the meshes than the rest, 

 being No. 13 wire throughout. Ail other sizes are 

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

 and a 3-strand 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 Avidths are used at the top or liot- 

 tom in connection with barb-wire or t)ther strand 

 fencing. Much narrow is used at the bottom of 

 posts for hogs and sheep, wliile for liotses 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, except the last few 

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

 shipments will be made from these points. Tliat 

 you may know what is in stock at each place we 

 have inclosed within brackets [ ] all the stock in 

 New York ; and wliat is not so inclosed is at Chicago. 

 Tlie length of the pieces is given in feet, and the 

 price per foot ag well as per rod. This fencing is 

 usually sold by the rod; but for convenience in 

 ascertaining the cost of each piece we have aiven 

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

 ply to multiply the combiru'd length of the pieces 

 you require by the price 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 at a price which is below 

 what new regular stock in above list costs us at 

 wholesale. The freight fiom New York to Chicago 

 In l()0-lb. lots or more is only from 2 to 5 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 the width in inches is 

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



price per rod in third; price per linesir foot in fourth 

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



Not less than 10 pieces in one o; 

 der, 15 % ott' f rom above prices; 20 pieces or more, 20 % o 

 from prices in this lar-t table only. Staples, 11^-in., 5 cts. per 11 



W/RE NETTING. 



SHORT ROLLS AT FULL-IKJLL PRICES OI{ LESS. 



We have the following lot of wire petting of var 

 ous sizes and widths in short or odd-length roll; 

 Very often a person wants a piece and can not liu 

 it cut from a full roll wiih'iut paying double pric< 

 You may be able to find in this list just what jo 

 need, or very near it. Even if you want more tlia 

 a full roll yiiu will find the prices at which we ofCt 

 these to be in most cases less than full-roll price. 



Of 3-inch mesli No. 19 wire, we have the followiu 

 remnants and short rolls at ^ c per square foo 

 The figures at the left give the width in inches, an 

 the other figures give length of each jiiece in fee 

 Multiply this by the width in feet, then take thre^ 

 fifths of the result to niid the price of each piece.
