It is impossible to slip the stays. SEE THE KINKS. It is absolutely right and perfect m every detail. It is manufactured of highest grade galvanized steel wire. It is woven with a series of kinks in the strand wires to provide for expansion and contraction by heat and It is the best, all-round fence ever made in this or any other country. It is as low in price as can be, quality considered. It is used by the best farmers.
