PEERLESS FENCING-"Without a Rival." 



947 



A four-foot general purpose fence close spaced enough to turn 

 pigs, high enough to turn all kinds of stock and strong 

 enough for all general purposes is coming to be recognized 

 as the most desirable style to buy. 



Mr. Anderson, editor of this paper, has recently purchased a quantity of this 

 fencing for use on his experimental farm at Cadillac, Mich., and we refer you to him 

 he will tell you frankly what he thinks of it. 



Made with No. 9 top and bottom wires; No. 11 lateral wires and No. 12 crossbars, 12 inches 

 apart. Spaces from bottom up as follows : 3, 3^, 4^, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8. 



We make many other styles, from which you may select one especially adapted to your own 

 particular needs, if you wish. We have them all, high and low, close spaced and wide spaced, 

 heavy and light. Our catalog will describe them and is free. 



Representation through dealers or agents sought in all new territory.

Dear Sir: You will please find enclosed draft for 1125.00 in payment for one Rural Road 

 Grader and Ditcher, ordered of you April 28, 1906. Would much rather have it than an eight- 

 horse grader. Can do more and better work with it at one-half the expense and can work it where 

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

 Yours respectfully, J. R. FLOYD, R. F. D. No. 1.
