Ross' Strong and Durable Fences 
Our general purpose farm fence is the 1047x12, and the dimensions contained in the above 
figures are explained as follows: Figure 10 represents the number of horizontal wires, 47 repre¬ 
sents the height in inches, and 12 represents the distance apart of the upright bars. The top 
bars are No. 9 wire, the bottom No. 10, and the intermediate bars and stays No. 1 1 wire. This 
makes an ideal up-to-date farm fence, strong enough for any use. It is heavily galvanized and 
will last for years and is much more sightly than the old ramshackle stone walls or wooden 
fences. When this fence is used in connection with steel posts, all of the weeds, etc., can be 
burned right up to the fence, which is another great advantage in keeping the field entirely 
free from refuse matter. 
We have good stock on hand at all times of the following numbers.

845x12, 10 rods. 5.50 
832x 6, 10 rods. 6.65

American Steel Fence Posts 
Better ■— Stiffer -— Heavier 
Too much cannot be said of the American 
Steel Fence Post. While the first cost of the 
steel post and the wood post is practically the 
same, the steel post can be set in about 5 min¬ 
utes, while the wood posts take surely a half 
hour. With the American Steel Post the fence 
line can be burned off every year, thus getting 
rid of insects, weeds and rubbish. The clean 
farmer grows the best and biggest crops and 
with the least labor and expense. We carry a 
good stock of the following heights which are
