STEEL WIRE NETTING and FENCING. 



GALVANIZED AFTER BEING WOVEN. 





The cut above illustrates some of the many uses 

 to which this wire netting- and fencing may be put 

 about the liome. You will notice back of tlie house 

 a poultry -yard. Probably tlie greater part of tl»e 

 netting heretofore sold has Ijeen used for fencing- 

 poultry, and nothing can be devised tliat Is cheap- 

 er, better, or more durable. 



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

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

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

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

 never rust. It is easily put up and taken down. 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 used for poultry on- 

 ly. It does not keep out the light and fresh air, so 

 needful to poultry. It is neat and ornamental, and 

 always looks well if properly put up. It is so invis- 

 ible that fowls can not see the top, and will not tiy 

 over. You can see inside as well as if there were no 

 fence at all. 



But the uses of wire netting are becoming more 

 and more diverse. If you wish to let poultry run, 

 and have flower-beds, or choice crops that you wish 

 to keep from them, all you need is some of the light- 

 est netting, not over one to two feet wide, stretched 

 around as shown in cut above. This can be attached 

 temporarily to liglit stakes, and quickly removed 

 when desired. For holding up green peas and beans, 

 tomatoes, and other such crops, nothing could be 

 cheaper or more convenient than the light narrow 

 netting, 12 or 18 inches wide. You notice, by table 

 of prices below, that the light weight, No. 30, 3-inch 

 mesh, is only 90c a roll, 1.50 ft. long, 12 in. wide. This 

 is indestructible, and, if properly handled, can be 

 used year after year, over and over again. You 

 could not furnish any thing else half as good for 

 the money; and the time >>f putting this up and tak- 

 ing care of it again after the crop is gathered is in- 

 significant corn|)arc(l with sticks or brush, or anj' 

 thing else that can be used. 



For stiK-k fences the heavier weights are used, or 

 the cottage fencing, which is extra heavy and well 

 made. There are a great many makes of netting 

 and fencing, and it is needless to say that some are 

 inferior to others. We still handle the G. & B. 

 brand, the same as we h;ive always sold since we be- 

 gan selling this class of goods, because we believe 

 it to be the best value for the monej' of anj' on the 

 market. The goods for this year are better than 

 ever; being made of stiff steel wire it will not kink 

 and get out of shape so easilj'. Our contract for 

 the coming year enables us to make very low prices. 

 The 3-inch mesh we are able to offer at about H less 

 than last year, and other sizes over 10 per cent 

 lower, or as low as we have ever been able to sell it 

 before. 



COTTAGE GATES. 



There are many sizes of these gates, made with 

 plain and ornamental top, all of which, with many 

 other interesting things, are listed in our 28-page 

 netting and fencing catalogue, mailed on applica- 

 tit)n. Gates like above, 3 feet wide, are worth $3.'i'0 

 each, 3 feet high; $2.85 for 3i feet high, and $3.00 for 

 4 feet, including latch and hinges; with plain top, 

 30c each less. We do not keep these in stock, but 

 ship from New York or Chicago. This is also true of 

 most of the netting and fencing listed below. We 

 have in stock at Medina all widths of 3-inch No. 19. 

 Everything else listed below will be shipped from 

 New York or Chicago. 



We are prepared to make special low prices to 

 dealers, and those who buy in large quantities. On 

 goods shipped from New York or Chicago we must 

 add 35 cts. for cartage on each shipment, large or 

 small. When you pick out from the table what you 

 want, and deduct the discount for quantity, if 5 

 rolls or more are ordered, then add 25 cents for cart- 

 age. The following table gives our net price per 

 roll of all sizes, in lots of from 1 to 6 rolls. On orders 

 for 5 rolls, deduct 5 per cent; 10 rolls, 10 per cent; 25 

 rolls or more, 15 per cent. Less than full rolls or 

 parts of rolls cost double the full roll price, because 

 of trouble of unrolling, measuring, etc. Always 

 order full rolls if possible.
