I N presenting this Catalogue of our Buckeye Iron Fencing, we desire to call your attention to the points of superior merit and the manner of constructing our Fence, as compared with those of other manufacturers. While we do not wish to refer to other kinds of fencing in criticising terms, yet we think it is to the advantage of every one desiring to purchase an iron fence, to under- stand the construction of the different kinds in the mar- ket, after which you will be better prepared to appreciate the superior merits of the Buckeye Iron Fence. The Fences heretofore offered to the public were as fol- lows: An ornamental and the other a plain Punched Bail. In the construction of the former, the strength and durability of the Fence depends entirely on the malleable ornaments ; which, if one ornament should become dis- placed or broken, the result can readily be realized. In regard to the latter, the plain Punched Bail, which will not admit of any ornaments, notwithstanding the holes are punched and pickets pass through the rails, yet in most cases these pickets are secured only to the bottom rail, and do not pass below that point, which detracts very much from the beauty of the fence. In the construction of the Buckeye Fence you will find the following points of superiority : 1st. The pickets pass through each and extend below the bottom rail, adding very much to the beauty as com- pared with other punched rail fences. 2d. Each picket is secured at the junction of each rail .by a portion of the rail being compressed into a notch in the picket. 3d. In producing the notches in our pickets we remove no material, consequently the picket is not weakened, as is the case in many other fences, 4th. In appearance, our Buckeye Bence is a combing tion of both the Ornamental and Plain Punched Pence, but in construction is far superior to either. 5th. You will notice in our Ornamental Pence, the pickets do not depend on the ornamnets for support, but are secured entirely independent of the ornaments. 6th. The Buckeye Pence is built in the shop, complete in panels of five feet each (except when special lengths are required), by experienced workmen, with proper tools and facilities for doing the work as it should be done, Each order is thus made complete and fitted for its particular place, and when shipped is ready to set up at once with- out trouble, thus overcoming the annoyance of being shipped in boxes and bundles and to be built on the ground under great disadvantages, and out of just such material as is generally sent out in such cases. 7th. Our Pences are all made standard height — pickets being full 36 inches long, or 39 inches from gronnd to top of picket. This height seems to be the most popular; however, the Pence is so constructed that we can make it any height desired. 8th. We use heavier and stronger material than most other feace manufacturers. 9th. It is very evident that the frost will move any fence, more or less, whether on stone or cast iron bases, consequently we make all our fences so that they can be put in perfect line at any time without disturbing the foundations. Our fences can be built to suit any grade. If over one inch to the foot it should be so stated in the order. 10th. The BUCKEYE is the best fence in the world for agents to handle, as no mechanical skill and but little time is required to erect it. 4 BUCKEYE IKON FENCE. Two Rail, with bow-top picket.
