PREVENT boundary disputes and guard your grounds by erecting a fence that 
will always be in prime repair and never need painting. There is only one such 
fence—the Excelsior “Rust-Proof” brand. It costs you a little more than ordi¬ 
nary fencing, because it costs us a great deal more to make. We give this fence 
a heavy all-over coating of pure melted zinc. That is why it lasts so much 
longer than other fences. 
YOU will also want Excelsior “Rust-Proof” Trellis, Flower Bed and Tree 
Guards. They are made like. Excelsior fencing and last just as long.
