 Dear Sirs:— Please deliver to bearer, 

 Albert Luther, six 12 ft. BEST Gates for 

 Fairland farm. This will make eishty- 

 five BKST gates bought of you for our 

 larms in this county, many of which have 

 been in use several years. They are 

 light, durable, and do not sag or warp, 

 and have not cost one cent for re- 

 pairs. In view of these facts, I will con- 

 tinue to buy BEST Gates, and no lioubt 

 will have one hundred or more in use 

 before fall. Very trulv yours, 



J.B. HAMILTON. 



SOLD to ONE MAN 



and are now in actual everyday use on 



his farm. This certainly is pretty 



strong evidence of the superiority of the Best Gate. A good gate 



is necessary to complete th3 fences on a well kept farm. It will more 



than pay for its first cost in one season in the time and labor it saves the 



farmer in passing through it, or in driving from one field into another. 



The BEST Gate 



is certainly just what its name implies — it is the best for any purpose. 

 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 



Direct from Factory to User 



and PREPAY the freight as far as 



300 miles from Shelbyville. Price 



$5 and upward according to the 



size of gate. The illustration below 



shows the strength of the Best gate. 



It is not an exaggeration for this gate 



will hold a weight of more than 700 



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



The Best Gate more thoroughly than we can in this advertisement
