Superiority of Waukegan Barbed Wire. 



For several years makers of Barbed Wire have sought how 

 bestto 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 re- 

 markably 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 fiat 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 qual- 

 ities in less than half the weight of round wire, to say noth- 

 ing of the great advantages of stiffness and snugness'conse- 

 quent upon twisting these ends firmly to place. 



The result is a style of Barbed Wire as strong as anv 

 made, and weighing less to the rod than any other.

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 \y z in. 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 strand of equal width in the market.
