EXCELSIOR " Rust-Proof " Fences look light and graceful, yet they are stronger 

 than wood fences and more difficult to climb. They are quickly and easily erected. 



EXCELSIOR " Rust-Proof " Fence is rendered impervious to rain and snow by 

 being completely immersed in a tank of molten zinc. This prevents rusting and also pro- 

 duces a fabric that is not only clamped but soldered together at every joint. There is 

 no sagging or bending. 



EXCELSIOR " Rust- Proof " Fencing may be ordered in various heights from 

 your local hardware stores. Write to us for a Catalog.

How Any One Can 

 Grow Mushrooms 



Delightful Occupation — Delicious Delicacy for the Home 

 Table a.nd a. Good Income if you Wish. 



I have been growing- mushrooms for 

 over twelve years. I probably know 

 more about the subject of mushroom 

 culture than anyone else in America. 

 From a start with a few dollars capital 

 I built up the largest mushroom farm 

 in America, with acres of bed space in 

 cultivation. By actual experience I 

 have learned just how mushrooms can 

 be grown and what's even more im- 

 portant, how they can not be grown. 



Growing mushrooms is really no 

 more difficult than growing radishes. 



It's just a matter of knowing how. 



Every failure in the mushroom busi- 

 ness can be traced to poor spawn and 

 unreliable information. 



I have shown thousands of men and 

 women how to grow mushrooms suc- 

 cessfully. Most all of them are now in 

 the business growing: for profit and making 

 a good income without interfering with their 

 regular occupation with this wonderful, easy, 

 pleasant pastime. I hope soon that a mush- 

 room bed will be as common as vegetable 

 gardens. 



I have written a little book which gives 

 truthful, reliable, experienced information 

 about mushroom culture, where mushrooms 

 can be grown, how to have a mushroom bed 

 in your cellar, etc. It also tells about spawn 

 and how to secure really reliable spawn. 

 I shall gladly send you this book Free. 



If you have never tried mushroom grow- 

 ing, or if you have tried and failed because of 

 the causes of which I have spoken, write for 

 my free book in which I will show you be- 

 yond the shadow of a doubt that you can 

 have a fine mushroom bed. Address
