The "Vision" of 



Pearl Wire 



"YXTHEN you screen your porch you add an out-of- 

 * * door living room, or a sleeping porch, protected 

 against disease carrying insects. 



Specify PEARL WIRE CLOTH for porch screening. 



Due to its metallic coating, Pearl Gray Color and 

 even mesh, PEARL is the most beautiful wire. It 

 offers little or no obstruction to the vision and you 

 enjoy the advantages of out-door living with in-door 

 comforts. 



PEARL is also, because of this special process coat- 

 ing, the most durable — therefore the most economical. 



Insist upon the Genuine. It has two copper wires 

 in the selvage and our red tag on every roll. 

 Made in two weights — regular and extra heavy.
