Peerless Woven Wire Fence on the Farm of Aden Crable, at Delta, 

 Colorado. 



The above is a picture of a farm at Delta, Colorado, under the 

 famous Gunnison Tunnel, built by the United States Government at a 

 cost of approximately $5,000,000, to water the land of the Uncompahgre 

 Valley, the finest apple country in the United States, and now with a 

 water right that cannot be excelled. 



Mr. Crable's first order was for 480 rods of PEERLESS WOVEN 

 WIRE FENCE for his farm south of town, and was built for the pur- 

 pose of improving the farm and placing it on the market this spring. 

 Six months after building the fence Mr. Crable sold the place to the 

 Clark Realty Company of Denver and Delta for an advance of $6,000 

 over what the farm cost him less than two years ago. Mr. Crablr 

 claims that the Peerless wire fence sold the place. 



Mr. Crable was so well pleased with his first order of Peerless 

 Fencing! that he bought 2,980 rods of No. 1047 (10 lateral wires, 47 

 inches in height), in March of this year, fencing in the neighborhood 

 of a thousand acres and placing a strand of our single strand, high 

 carbon, corrugated steel Peerless Barb Wire five inches above the 

 top of the woven fencing for the purpose of protecting the fence from 

 being crushed down by hunters, wild range cattle and horses.
