PAGE METHOD OF SPLICING BOTH QUICK
AND SECURE
You Can't Beat It Anywhere
Loops are turned at the factory in each end of every
line wire of Page Fence, and every roll of fence con
tains a bunch of small coils by the use of which two
rolls of fence are joined together in the same manner
as you would place two keys on a ring at the same
time, thus joining your fence together quickly and
securely.'
Page Fence is the only fence having this method of splicing and
this feature alone has won it many friends and buyers, as it is easy
to sec the direct advantage the Page Splice has over the other methods
of splicing the single wires hy hand at each end of a roll of fence.
Page Fence Is Better in Every Way Than Others
