Notice to Farmers

If you are going to need American or
Page Fence this Spring you Will make a
big mistake unless you put your order in
without further delay. This is the great
est year the country has ever known for
Wire Fence, and the factorys are now far
behind with there orders and if you put
off buying you will surely get left. It is
also the opinion of Wire people that the
prices are going to advance. Measure off
about what you will want and call at our
office and we will give you the very
lowest price possible. We have in stock
for you to see all the different sizes of
Hog and Fence Wire, also Barb Wire.
Leave your order and we will put the
Fence up when ever you say. We ask
no settlement until after the Fence is
up. We buy in car load lots and have
now orders booked for over 5000 rods.
Respectfully yours.
