Galvanized or Painted.

Is made from NO. II STEEL WIRES,
Evenly TWISTED and is warran
ted to be uniformly stronger and to
present more barbs per rod, being at the
same time lighter, with the same size OF
main wires, than any other style. In conse-
quence OF these combined advantages, we
have good reason to believe that its sales are
FIVE TIMES BETTER than the united
sales of all others. After reviewing the above
statements and facts, the question arises:
Can purchasers afford to make a series OF
experiments with other, cheaper and less
wild ly known styles and grades of wire,
which Is manufactured Without n license,
and by this course sublectiHg themselves to
assessments for damages by the United States
Courts? IT is possible that the manufacture
ers OF unlicensed barb wire may offer to pro-
tect their patrons; but when this protection
IS Offered we respectfully suggest that you
investigate the responsibility of the guaran-
teeors While we disc aim any intention OF
monopolizing the barb wire business, our
readers will please remember that there are
few, If any, articles manufactured which
leave so small a margin between actual first
cost nd fba OF nh
