SHOWING VARIOUS STYLES OF FENCES In order to enable our Agents to furnish Railing for Cemetery Lot Enclosure at small cost to the purchaser we have devised a plan to enclose lot without using large posts at the corners.— simply connecting panels at comers with malleable iron connections, to a ( y % of an inch ) picket which runs into an iron base. This makes as good and substantial an enclosure as if large posts were used, the panels at comers bracing each way. Often large posts cost as much as fence for small jobs Only our PUNCH FENCES can be used without comer posts. We make no extra charge for the pickets and bases used in the comers of this style of enclosure.

Tf\a C^arqpior] Iron Co., Kerytori, OI\io. 29 We manufacture the Baines It*on pence, And claim that it is the best Farm and Railroad Fence m the world for the following reasons, viz: Its simplicity, strength, durability, convenience, safety, neatness and cheapness. SIMPLICITY. The Barnes Iron Fence by an ingenious contrivance, fully covered by Letters Patent, is constructed of only three pieces, the post and rail—which lock firmly and securely together without the aid of wedges, bolts, nuts, plugs, or any other part—and the brace. The posts, being sharpened at the lower ends, are driven into the soil; the rails are flat, and locked into the posts—continuously; the braces are only used where the fence begins and ends, and at the corners, and the whole stands a perfectly rigid and united structure, exceedingly neat and attractive. STRENGTH. The construction of this fence is perfect ; the rails are provided with lugs and tongues which fit into ingeniously constructed slots in the posts, and bear against and inject into the opposite faces of the posts so as to lock the rails and posts firmly together, thus securing a very rigid and strong fence; being locked together as it is at each post, it makes one united structure from one end to the other, each post and rail rendering its full support to the others, making it impossible for the fence to sag, lean or be blown over; it will withstand a lateral pressure at any given point of over five tons in any ordinary soil; no team of horses hitched to the fence can pull it over. DURABILITY. The entire fence is made of iron, which will last for fifty years or more. There is no wood to rot or burn. After the fence is set up there are no repairs to be made, no broken or decayed posts and rails to be replaced. Frost will not affect it; the elements will not injure it, 30 Ti\e Qjarqpiori Irop Co., Keptop, Olqio. CONVENIENCE. It is portable and easily handled; it can be moved from place to place, however great the distance, without injury. It can be set and reset indefinitely, and is as good and perfect after being taken apart as it was when entirely new. It can be erected very much more rapidly than other kinds of fence, as their are no post holes to dig, no nails to be driven, no wire to be stretched, nor any mechanical work to be done, which takes time and means expense. The rails can be detached by man, but it would be utterly impossible for stock to remove or displace them in any way after the fence has been erected. SAFETY. The Barnes Iron Fence affords complete safety to stock. They cannot hurt themselves on or against it, as is continually being done where thin, sharp, ribbon or barb wire is used. All this suffering and loss of money can be prevented by using our fence. Another feature is that our fence can be made any de¬ sired height; the rails can be made light or heavy, and put as close as any one may wish them, so that it is adapted to all kinds of fencing, and the enclosure will be entirely safe. NEATNESS. When this fence is properly erected, it stands in a per¬ fectly straight line; there is no leaning, bulging or sagging; the rails enter the centre of the posts, so that both sides of the fence look exactly alike, thus presenting a most attractive and neat appearance. CHEAPNESS. The simplicity of construction of our fence, its lasting qualities, safety, neatness, and a comparison of our prices, will convince any intelligent man that it is the Cheapest and Best Practical Fence in the World, Tl\e Ct\arr\piori Irori Co., Keritori, Ot\io. 31 The Barnes Fence is especially adapted for fencing along Railroods, and is the best Fence for Farms and Ranches now in use. 3 2 Tl^e Ct\arr\pior\ Iron Co„ Keptori, Ot\io.

J r First put in the corner post; be sure to have it plumb; thenjplace a' rail in the bottom slot of this post, put a nail opposite the rail [inj the£slo t [w’here'the other rail would be if the fence were continued on, to hold th e rail securely in its place :“then drive^down aline post until the rail, pla ced inlthe’bottomtslot of the corner and|lineCpost, is parallel with the ground, thenjplace .the'oth'er roilsjin their respective slots in the posts in the same manner~as]th e first one ; then commence the second panel by placing the end of another rail in the bob- tom slot of the first line post alongside of the rail already there, this is done by elevating one rail into the upper part of the slot, then p u tting the other rail into the lower part of|the‘s lot*with the ton gu es on the ou tside of jtheir Jrespective rails and clearing the face of the post, then push the elevated rail into the lower part of the slot alongside the other rail and draw the rails so that the tongue on each will fit into the slot provided for it in the post, thus locking the rails and post firmly together; then drive down the second line post and put the other end of the rail into its bottom slot; then put on the brace by first fitting one end on the bottom rail next to the line post of the first panel and the opposite end to the corner post at the hole therein provided; then put in the other rails of the second panel and proceed with the third and remaining panels in like manner. Be careful to keep all the posts plumb and the proper distance apart, and to reverse each alternate line post so that the slots therein will be in proper position to allow the elevation of one rail so as to admit the other, and keep each panel stretched tight as it is put up; before putting in the next corner post be sure that all the slack has been taken up, then put it in and fasten the rails and attach the brace as before directed. If the ground is very hard, it may be well to dig holes for the corner posts; where this is done, see that the earth is rammed around the posts very tight so that they will stand firm. When driving the post down, use a block of wood on the top of it, to cushion the sledge blow. By stretching a cord along the line of the proposed fence and putting in the corner posts directly against it and the line posts one-quarter of an inch from it, the fence when erected will be on a straight line from one end to the other. In order to get the posts the proper distance from each other, take a piece of board and cut two grooves in it, 5 feet 6 inches apart, inside measurement, each % inch wide and 1)4 inches deep, fit one of these grooves on the post already in, and then place the next post in the other groove and drive it down the required distance. Proceed in the same way with the other posts. View of Champion Iron Co. Works, Kenton, Ohio.
