Admtnlat ' MEANS FENCE ECONOMY * ^ ' mm First, it is durable. Think of the time yon have spent in the last five years repairing and rebuilding fences of other kinds. Also the time spent in watchinpyour stock and the crops de stroyed in spite of yonr carefulness. There are few ' J who have not lost valuable animals because poor fences them to jump. There are few communities where neighl disputes have not been die result of poor fendnf. The vrire fence overcomes all of these troubles, enhances appearanc and, the value of yonr farm and instead of ban hard, profitless job to keep the fence corners clear ^of we you cultivate thl soil now worse than wasted. Think this over, then come in and talk wire fencing with We will sell you the best and cheapest fencing there is.
