AFCO ESTATE FENCES 
have no equal as guardians of the otherwise unpro¬ 
tected reaches of the estate or game preserve. They 
are literally “ barriers of steel.” 
They are break-proof, climb-proof, and cannot be dismantled. 
They have the special Afco steel angle posts with overhanging 
arm carrying barb wire, integral with the post. Particularly 
rust-proof and easily erected over the roughest of ground. 
Also highly practical from the angle of price.
