ROOFING 
aves Labor and Money 
roofing that has to 
be painted every 
year or two is a 
j* ,tant care. Suppose 
> T should neglect to 
_ paint yours in time. The 
chances are that when you did 
remember, (which would prob¬ 
ably be when you discovered it 
leaking) it would be too late 
to paint or patch. You would 
need a new roof. 
Now you can avoid all this 
bother and expense by buying 
Amatite, which needs no paint¬ 
ing or coating of any kind. 
We will send you a sample 
free. Write for it to-day and 
settle the question for yourself. 
It will only cost you a postal 
card and will save you many 
dollars in the end. 
Amatite comes in convenient 
rolls ready to be laid on the 
roof. Anyone can do the job. 
Liquid cement to seal the laps 
and large headed nails are sup¬ 
plied free in center of each roll. 
We wish you knew as much 
about Amatite as we do; you’d 
buy it every time. It’s the 
kind of ready roofing that 
makes satisfied customers. 
Send to-day for a free sample 
to nearest office. That tells 
the story.

time, for thrv are mad” of large, heavily galvanized 
Bessemer Steel wire tnat will not rust out, break 
or sag. Republic fabrics are made by cabling to- 
r gether horizontal wires and inserting upright picket wires 
which are corrugated only where they pass between the 
cable strands. This prevents the fence from sagging out of 
shape and does away with the injury done to the galvanizing 
where the method of continuous crimping is used. 
There are many important, exclusive features in Republic con¬ 
struction that you should know about before you buy a fence. 
Write to-day for our catalog showing the many styles of fence and our 
high carbon, extra heavy, tubular steel farm gates,

IDOK/o/^WELD 
The Weld that Held is the distinguishing feature 
of the one and only fence which has no waste wire, 
no dead weight. Whatever fence you get, remem¬ 
ber, you pay for every ounce of wire in it. Why 
pay for waste wire ? Every ounce of wire in wraps, 
ties and clamps is waste wire, because these wraps, 
ties and clamps add nothing to streng th or durability. The 
strongest as well as the most economical fence made, the 
“Pittsburgh Perfect” Fence 
Is One Solid Piece of Steel Throughout 
It costs less per rod than any other fence made of the same gauge 
(size) wire.^ The wires are electrically welded at every contact point. 
Every wire is of open hearth steel, conceded to be far superior to 
Bessemer, being tougher and stronger. Every wire is galvanized by 
our own improved process. Made in 73 styles for every fence pur¬ 
pose. Don’t buy any fence until you’ve seen the Perfect—you can’t 
afford to! Your dealer sells it. Write for free catalog.
