Are the style numbers by which we designate 



TWO NEW STYLES OF FENCES 



which are being put out this year for the first time. They are 

 especially designed for use where a close spaced garden and 

 poultry fence is desired to be combined with a stock fence for 

 general use. 



Four feet high. No. 10 top and bottom wire, No. 13 laterals, No. 14 crossbars, 12 inches apart in 

 one style and 6 inches apart in the other. Will keep rabbits away from your young tree*, dogs 

 or wolves away from your sheep, and will turn small chicks; spacing at the bottom 2 inches, gradu- 

 ally widening toward the top. A million rods of this one style will be sold this year, and orders 

 should be placed early to insure attention. 



Many farmers want 



A CLOSE SPACED HOG FE^CE 



26 inches high. Our 0725 fills the bill, and is the most popular 

 seller that we have. No. 9 top wire, middle wires No. 12, with 

 cross bars six inches apart; by stringing two or three barb wires 

 over this fence it is suitable for cattle and horses. 



Agents and dealers wanted throughout the entire west.
