EXCELSIOR “Rust-Proof” Fences look light and graceful, yet they are stronger 
than wood fences and more difficult to climb. They are quickly and easily erected. 
EXCELSIOR “Rust-Proof” Fence is rendered impervious to rain and snow 
by being completely imrnersed in a tank of molten zinc. This prevents rusting 
and also produces a fabric that, in addition to the steel clamp joints, is soldered 
together at every point of contact. There is no sagging or bending. 
EXCELSIOR “Rust-Proof” Fenci ng may be ordered in various heights from 
your local hardware store. WRITE TO US FOR A CATALOG.
