American Galvanized 
Steel Fence Posts 
“The Post Without a Fault” 
The American Galvanized Post surpasses all 
others in Strength—Durability—Economy. 
The cylindrical shape gives greater resistance 
at the ground line and makes it easier to drive 
the post. The Line Posts are a straight cylinder 
inches in diameter made of 1434 gauge 
metal. Tongues are placed 1J4 inches apart and 
may be bent up or down to hold fence wire. 
Posts are galvanized after being formed and 
punched, all parts being protected by galvaniz¬ 
ing. Line Posts, when driven, open automatically, 
providing self-anchorage. 
Twenty-five years of actual service is convinc- 
3 ing proof of the lasting quality of the American 
Post. Nothing adds more to the appearance of a 
farm than fence stretched on neat, uniform, and 
sightly steel posts. 
For woven-wire fence, barb wire, and plain wire.
