This is the essential of every good wire fence. Unless the stay has a hinge joint the for.ee cannot receive pressure from contact and right itself. All rigid stay fences have been unsatisfactory and disappointing, as they crush down and when once down, remain so. AMERICAN FENCE Is made with a hinge joint, by which the maximum of elasticity is secured and the fence if properly stretched, remains in place indefi nitely. With the binge joint, no amount of strain on the bars can effect the connection of stay and bar, while the opposite is true of all rigid stay fences. wk \ Big line of Turn Piows at Reduced Prices.
