ABOUT OUR GATES AND 

 FENCINGS 



The point is— have you seen our catalog? 



If you haven't, it does seem to us that before making any 

 decision about your fence or gateway, it would be to your 

 advantage to know something about the kinds we make 

 and how their quality and prices line up. 



Everything from a simple fence up to highly ornamental 

 gates, are shown in goodly number. 



One thing sure — no one can make any better fence, any 

 cheaper. 



Let's open a fence correspondence, you and we. A good 

 ■way to start it is to send for the catalog.
