Good farming demands Cood fences. Every fiood farmer
S ;knows this, and it is the wise farmer who buys his fences on V
- the basis of quality and weight. ? . t
'Zy; Use Anthony Fencemade of big hearlly galvanized wires
with strong continuous stays and the famous Anthony CLOSED e '
, Knot.The ideal fence is Anthony fence hung on American or '
A U. S. Steel Posts. Driven like stakes, they anchor themselves. ;
Fireproof, weatherproof this combination gives you a fence
, that lasts forages. , v ';,.1v;; k -'"'.yn y - 'V
The best fence is heavy fenceof thick, strong Wes. This is
; -the type we recommend. We know that in the long run it
k ralways gives the best service. Such fence can be more heavily ;
galvanized, looks better, lasts longer and gives better service. ;
:: In response to trade demands we also manufacture highest i-
quahty light-weight; fences, with email gauge, wire.' Ofthls
type there Is no better t fence on the market, but we strongly t,
; urge the more certain economy of heavy fence. , r . ." '
; See our dealers everywhere. J Get prices. They have stocks
-j on hand for quick delivery. , Write us and get our new catalog
illustrating many kinds of fences, gates and posts for every
purpose. " . s,.. ' y ;,; -,-.- ,
