Superiority of Waukegan Barbed Wire. 



For several years makers of Barbed Wire have sought how 

 best to retain the acknowledged merits of the " Old Glidden," 

 and at the same time produce a barb which should be lighter, 

 and yet equally efficient. Our manufacturers have been 

 remarkably successful, the Waukegan Barb being superior to 

 others in that, while it is lighter than any other, it is as strong 

 as the strongest, this being accomplished by using a half-round 

 wire which clasps the main strand as if welded to the same, 

 while the flat projecting points receiving a half turn before 

 they are sharpened, include the strength of full-sized round 

 wires, thus securing all the stiffness and resisting qualities in 

 less than half the weight of round wire, to say nothing of the 

 great advantages of stiffness and snugness consequent upon 

 twisting these ends firmly to place. 

 The result is a style of Barbed Wire as strong as any made, 

 and weighing lefts to the rod than ar> y other.

Galvanized Flat Twisted Fencing, 3 ^ inch wide. Putupon 50 and IOO Pound Spools. 



This style of fencing is capable of 

 wonderful resistance, owing to the 

 great strength obtained by the size of the wire and method of construction. It makes a fence which 

 can be plainly seen from a distance, and with the elasticity imparted by the twist, no sagging can 

 occur, if properly put up. Special square top staples and clasps for splicing furnished at lowest 

 prices. A very popular lawn fence.

Truss and Cable Fence Wire. 



This Fencing is constructed upon well-known mechan- 

 ical principles. It is composed of six galvanized spring 

 steel wires of superior quality and is about 1 1 / 2 ins. wide. 

 Its strength is equal to the combined tensile strength of 

 all the wires, and its construction is such as to allow for 

 the expansion and contraction of heat and cold without 

 stretching. It combines all the desirable qualities of 

 the simple cable with those of increased strength, width, and therefore visibility, resulting from a 

 union of truss and cable, and costs less per rod than any stran d of equa l widt h in the market.
