Galvanized Steel Wire Fencing.


The most extensive and %cottplete
plant for the manufacture Of wire fenc-
ing in the United States is the DE kalb
Fence Company. located at DE kalb.
III. For year, prior to 1890 barbed
wire was extensively used for
fencing, but those using it often lost in
fine stock, more han its cost n to
avoid danger to man or beast there was
need Of, and a demand for. a barbless
fence.
The proprietors OF this company
having spent more than IL years in tho
manufacture of wire fencing, recog-
nized this fact, and ave produced the
best lines of smooth wire fencing for all
purposes now In use. The success OF
this company IL due to the managers
adopting the true business principle OF
making good what they make, putting
enough material in their lines to maxi
them both strong and serviccable. in
stead Of producing a cheap tlimsy ar
ticle only to meet the price Of a fence
that has never given satisfaction. This
is what has made their fence so popular
and in such great demand and to-day
they have over 40 special machines.
with a capacity Of over % miles OF
fence per day. and their fencing is used
in every state In the Union. The fence
most used is their Gable Steel and Hog
Fence for field fencing, Gable Poultry
Fence, Steel Web Picket Fence. and
Park and Cemetery Fence, and to COM
plete same they also make gates Of wood
or steel frames to match, and also fur
nish iron posts. All OF their styles of
fencing are strong, neat. durable and
economical in price.
And everyone needing fencing Of any
kind will consult their own interests by
sending to the DE Kalb Fence Co.. 121
High street, De Kalb, ILL.,, for their ~
page catalogue and prices. The reader
is also directed to their advertisement

started to wait On a couple of ladies.
He drew a napkin from the coat peck
ct to brush a crumb from the table
cloth, when out jumped a a nearly
as big as a grounding. The women
were on the table in o second. Men
upset the chairs and tables in trying
to stamp on the animal. but it escaped
all the blows aimed at it, and chased
around and around the place looking
for some avenue of escape for fully
five minutes. BY the time the restau-
rant cat woke up and caught the rat
the place was 4 sorry wreck and half
the patrons mad disappeared.-San
