American Park and Paddock Fence 



FOR such service as enclosing a private 

 park, or the grounds of a private 

 residence, the Park and Paddock 

 fence is particularly valuable. It thor- 

 oughly encloses and excludes, yet does not 

 obstruct the view. With posts having 

 ball tops, the structure becomes an orna- 

 ment. 



The feature of exclusion without mar- 

 ring the ensemble of a fine piece of land- 

 scape gardening, especially recommends 

 this fence. Its height repels intrusion, 



particularly if the top is surmounted with 

 one strand of barb wire — a desirable ad- 

 dition at times. 



The large, heavy wires of hard steel, No. 

 9 gauge throughout, both upright and 

 horizontal wires, ensure against breakage. 

 If erected substantially and properly, the 

 fence presents a handsome wall of resilient 

 steel — a sure protection. 



A wide range of heights is provided, 

 from the extreme height of 88 inches down 

 to 6i inches. 



T*^^ nloi*G F* V^t*17"lA7 , Vl< a l*^ Stocks of American Fence are carried in every place where

 the buyer money in many ways.
