IAMERICAN FENCEI i
& ? What makes a good fence? Should it have wire hard as flint
Sfij made with the highest carbon the same as the makers of American
H| fence put into its piano wire ? Or should it be a soft wire such |g
HI as they put into their weaving wire that is sold to manufacturers of
wire cloth? Neither?it should be a medium wire that many jiS
s| years' experience has shown to be exactly right for the purpose. |g
The American Steel & Wire Co. makes every kind of wire that
|gj is used, beginning with its own mines, through its own furnaces and
s| steel and wire mills and they know what is the right kind of steel |||
|p?j to use for a fence. Trust their judgment. |p
Should a good fence have a rigid stay? No jgig
9?we believe in the hinged joint that is strong, (???;
s flexible, yielding to pressure like a spring bed
* and snapping back again to its place. Flexibility
"is its life. A pneumatic tire on a bicycle Hw
"is more durable than a solid tire for this
? reason. American fence is made of large wires wB
? thoroughly galvanized and proof against weather. s?2
