Woven Wire Fence 
at Wholesale Prices i PEERLESS 
The best, cheapest, strongest and most endur¬ 
ing woven wire fence ever made by any kind 
of machinery is the kind made by the 
Wire Fence. 
Peerless Fence Machine. 
It makes the fence on posts, thus saving the kinks and sagging places that are so hard to get 
out of ready made woven fences. This fence costs less than half fence manufacturers’ prices 
and will last as long as the posts stand without getting out of place. The deadlock in the stay 
wire makes it elastic and prevents stock from shoving wires up or down and thesiay wires tire 
held firmly in place. One man can operate it—a boy might, it works so easily. No rackets or 
tighteners needed. We guarantee every buyer satisfaction or money back. Thousands sold at $3.50. For 
a little while we will sell complete Peerless Pence Machines ready to operate for ONLY S2. 
and get one and make your own fence
