 It is light, strong and convenient to handle. The frame is made of 

 select hard pine and strongly braced. There are ten strands of high 

 CARBON COILED SPRING STEEL WIRE ou this gate which are attached to 

 the frame work with a patent rachet so as to allow for tightening 

 when needed. You cannot reproduce this gate for less than 50 per 

 cent more than we ask. We sell the Best gate

300 miles from Shelbyville. Price 



$5 and upward according to the

lbs. without buckling or sagging. Write for our booklet, it describes 



The Best Gate more thoroughly than we can in this advertisement^^
