are progressive, enterprising and ready to spend time and money in the develop- 

 ment and improvement of your land; possibly are raising stock, engaged in diver- 

 sified farming or growing young orchards. In line with this improvement, it will 

 be necessary for you to consider fencing; the day has passed when a couple of 

 strings of barb wire can be called fence; this is an age of better things and you can 



now buy the best quality of hard steel, springy, galvanized, woven wire fencing, ready to staple on 



your posts for slightly more than the cost of the raw material. 



We are searching for dealers and agents all through the newly opened territory in the west.

Dear Sir: You will please find enclosed draft for $65.00 in payment for one Rural Road

 we cannot the larger one, so you can rest assured we are well satisfied with the machine.
