Ny oes fences are now out of the question. Hedges require years 
to grow. Ordinary wire fences quickly rust to pieces. The only 
satisfactory and durable boundary marker is 
Wright’s Excelsior “RUST-PROOF” Fence 
This fabric is treated to a hot bath of melted zinc, which completely encases it in a weather- 
resisting armor. Without a drop of paint it will stand year after year unaffected by rain or snow. 
EXCELSIOR Trellis, Tree Guards and Edgings are alike ‘‘Rust-Proof,” and the only devices 
of the kind that it really pays to use. 
Your hardware dealer will order for you.
