When You Fence Your Home 
Combine long life with neatness. Rust is the great enemy of fence. 
When rust comes, the fence goes. The only way to avoid rust is 
to erect a heavy galvanized fence. Its extra heavy galvanizing is 
one feature which distinguishes 
fences from others. The completed fence is immersed in the galvanizing spelter. 
Every crack and comer are covered much more heavily than is possible in any 
other method of galvanizing. Rust cannot get a hold — it has no chance to start. 
The fence lasts. 
The wide variety of Excelsior Rust Proof fences enables you to indulge your taste 
in fencing your home or estate, We also make Excelsior Rust Proof Trellises, 
Trellis Arches, Lawn, Flower Bed and Tree Guards. Ask your hard¬ 
ware dealer, or write us for illustrated Catalog C.

An important part of a fence is 
in the ground 
It’s the anchorage of the posts that determines 
whether the fence will keep its alignment and 
stand straight and true after years of service. 
Anchor Post Fences 
are built on Anchor Posts which are U-bars of high carbon steel 
thickly galvanized to prevent rust. These posts are driven into 
the ground and then held rigidly erect by two Anchor stakes 
driven diagonally through slots clamped to the sides of the posts. 
Twenty years of frost and thaw have failed to disturb Anchor 
Posts. Iron Railings and Entrance Gates, Lawn Fences. 
Tennis Court, Poultry and Kennel Yard Enclosures; Arbors, 
Trellises and Flower Bed Guards. Catalogues of any or all are 
yours upon request.
