4O The Fence Question in the South. 



Barb Fencing. The Barb Wire Fence industry of this country is now repre- 

 sented by nearly fifty manufacturers licensees under our patents. The state- 

 ments brought together in these pages will not be understood as manufactur- 

 ers' facts, but as public facts the manufacturers find it their interest to seek out 

 and bring together. They will have only the weight deserved by the high 

 sources whence they are derived . 



Are these facts controvertible ? Can the same measure of benefit be reached 

 in any other way so cheaply, so well, and so thoroughly, as by the improved 

 system of fencing, herein suggested? It will be for all, as practical men, 

 alive to their own interests, or as leaders of public thought and opinion, to an- 

 swer, after giving due weight to the facts brought together in these pages.
