Why Fiske Fences 
Outlast All Others 
The enduring qualities of Fiske Chain. Link 
Climb Proof Fences lie in part in the fact that 
Fiske Fences of this type are galvanized after, 
not before, the wire fabric is woven. Only too 
often in weaving the wire fabric of galvanized 
wire, the rust proofing is cracked leaving bare 
wire exposed. 
More than that, Fiske’s 
sixty-odd years’ experi¬ 
ence in the manufacture 
of fencing has taught 
Fiske the ways and means 
of making fences stronger 
and more rigid than other 
makes. 
Fiske fence posts, set deep 
The mesh and top con¬ 
struction prevent anyone 
climbing over the fence. 
We contract to do the in¬ 
stallation work, or we 
will furnish plans and 
blueprints with full erect¬ 
ing instructions.

T HESE attractive, modern American homes of the 
Middle West and the East have an inviting, com¬ 
fortable, well-bred look that suggests the kind of people 
one enjoys as friends. They have the further advantage 
of costing little for painting and repairs. Their ex¬ 
teriors are Redwood—siding, shingles, porch-posts, 
mouldings, gutters and trim, window frames and 
balusters. 
Redwood is permeated during the tree’s growth with 
a natural, odorless preservative which protects Red¬ 
wood lumber against all forms of rot and decay. 
Weather won’t rot Redwood. Boring worms and 
insects leave it alone. Climbing vines that hold 
moisture do not lead to the quick decay of Redwood 
siding. 
The uniform cell structure and even texture of Red¬ 
wood provide surfaces that take and hold paint well. 
The bother and expense of frequent repainting is 
avoided. Absence of pitch or inflammable resinous 
compounds makes Redwood slow burning. Redwood 
reduces the fire hazard wherever used. 
The price of Redwood compares favorably with what 
you pay for wood that cannot compare with Redwood 
in rot resistance, percentage of clear lumber and free¬ 
dom from warping, shrinking and swelling.
