American Park and Paddock Fence 



HERE'S a fence that thoroughly incloses and excludes and 

 yet does not obstruct the view — that guarantees seclusion 

 yet melts into the landscape without the least jarring note. 

 Both upright and horizontal strands are built of large, heavy, hard 

 steel wires that insure against breakage and afford a sure protection. 



In spite of its many superior features American Park and Pad- 

 dock fence is manufactured on such a large scale that it may be 

 had at a price even lower than that of many inferior grades. 



It comes in a wide range of heights — from 61 to 88 inches — 

 and is carried by dealers in every part of the country. 



O^al^rft Fv^rirwri f*rf* Stocks of American Fence are carried in every place where farm supplies 



1/CalCIs LiVCryWHCrc are sold. The Fence is shipped to these poinls in carload lots, thereby 

 securing the cheapest transportation, and the saving in freight thus made enables it to be sold at the low- 

 est prices. Look for the American Fence dealer and get the substantial advantages he is enabled to offer. 

 He is there to serve the purchaser in person, offer the variety of selection and save the buyer money in 

 many ways.
