It is a waste of time and money to erect a cheap wire fence. It will begin to 
rust at once—and nothing looks worse than a rusty wire fence. A cheap fence 
will soon, begin to sag, snap and break. .... .... . 
EXCELSIOR “RUST-PROOF” 
Wire Fence will cost more than a common wire fence; but it will look a great 
deal better and last infinitely longer. It does not get out of shape, or rust apart 
at the joints. 
WHENEVER you see an ornamental wire fence that has stood many years 
without paint or repairs, you can rest assured that it is an Excelsior “Rust- 
Proof.” It is the only wire fence that can withstand the attack of time. 
Sold by Hardware Dealers. Send for catalog 
“C” and sample of Rust-Proof finish.
