PEERLESS 

 PERFECTION 



is much heavier and stronger than common poultry I 



netting. Peerless Poultry Fence is built just like I 



our farm fence It is the best Canada Fence made 



by Canadians and sold exclusively in Canada. 



The Fence That's Lockeil 

 Together 



It's close enough to keep small fowl in and strong' 

 enough to keep large animals out. Securely locked 

 together at each intersection of the wires. It's 

 many times heavier and stronger than poultry 

 netting, and being well galvanized, will last 

 many years longer. Top and bottom wires 

 are extra heavy. No top and bottom boards 

 required. PEERI^ESvS Poultry Fence is 

 built so strong and heavy, that but 

 ,.alf the ordinary number of pasts are required. It gives you real fence service. Think 

 of it— a poultry fence strong enough to withstand the combined weight of two big horses. 

 And that without a top or bottom board either. If you are interested in such fencing, write 

 us. Ajk for our literature. We also manufacture farm fence and ornamental gates.
