GREAT REDUCTION OF 16 2-3 PER CENT 



IN PRICES OF 



GALVANIZED WIRE NETTING, 



FOR POULTRY INCLOSURES, ETC., 



And Freight Charges Paid on 10-Bale Lots or IVIore. 



of netting. The posts to hold it should not be more 

 than 10 feet apart, and they should be set in the 

 ground at least 2 ft. for a permanent fence. In put- 

 ting it on the posts, draw the top of the selvage 

 tight, and fasten securely with the staples, and aft- 

 erward ;draw the bottom down and fasten that. 

 You can put a board a foot wide along the bottom, 

 if you choose. This will prevent small chickens 

 from getting through, and makes the fence one 

 foot higher. If \ on want to make division fences, 

 so as to keep different breeds from the same yard, 

 it is better to have a board at the bottom at least 

 one foot wide, so the fowls can not be gossiping 

 through the wire, and pecking at one another. 

 You will notice that one roll makes a yard nearly 40 

 feet square, ^d this is plenty large enough for 20 

 or 30 fowls. 



TABLE OF PRICES. 



This netting is made with 2, li4, IJ4, 1, and % in. 

 mesh, of different sized wire, and from 6 inches to 

 6 feet wide, and is put up in bales l.')0 feet long. 

 That most used for poultry fences is 2-inch mesh. 

 No. 19 wire, 4 feet wide. 150 feet long. This makes 

 000 sq. feet in a bale. Our former price has been 

 one cent per sq. ft. in bale lots, or $6.00 per roll. 

 We now offer it as follows: 



TWO-INCH MESH, NO. 19 WIRE, ANY WIDTH. 



Less than a full bale, or any fraction of a bale, le per sq. ft. 



One bale, at 83>^ cts. per 100 sq. ft., or $5.00 per roll, 4 ft. wide.

You will notice that this last price is ?i cts. per sq. 

 foot. Besides this, on all shipments from New 

 York, of 10 bales oi' over, we will pay the freight to 

 Jacksonville. Fla., or Cleveland, Ohio, or to any 

 other place where freight is no more than to these 

 places. We can ship from New York, Chicago, 

 Cleveland, or from here, with other goods. We 

 keep in stock only the 2-in., No. 19 wire. 4 ft. wide, 

 and all other widths, weights, etc., will have to go 

 from one of the three other places mentioned. 



Three-fourths-inch galvanized staples, for putting 

 up the netting, 20 cts. per lb.

 uses, mailed free on application. 



Immense quantities of this netting are used an- 

 nually for constructing fences to inclose poultry. 

 It is popular for this, because it is so well adapted, 

 and nothing else makes so good a fence. 



A FEW OF ITS MANY ADVANTAGES. 



It is the cheapest, costing less than 75 cts. per rod 

 for posts, staples, and all. It will last a liietimc, 

 and never needs repairing, because it can't get out 

 of order. Being galvanized after it is woven. It will 

 never rust. 



If you ever go to 42 Cliff St., New York, you can 

 see a piece that has been in the weather over 25 

 years, and is just as good as the day it was made. 

 It is easily put up and taken down. Ernest has a 

 roll fastened to light stakes, which he has taken 

 down and set up again in a ditforcnt location in 15 

 minutes, when the ground was soft. It can not be 

 blown down, as the wind goes right through it. On 

 this account you don't need very heavy posts where 

 the fence is u.sed for poultry only. It docs not keep 

 out the light and liosh air, so needful to poultry. 

 It is neat and ornamental, and alvvays looks well if 

 properly put up. It is so Invisible that fowls can 

 not see the top, and will not tly over. You can see 

 inside as well as if there were no fence at all. 



HOW TO PUT IT UP. 



About one pound of staples is needed for a roll
