They tell you over at Ottawa that this is the largest exclusive woven wire fence factory in America, and that no (other concern in the world makes as many different kinds of woven wire fencing, 'embracing' hog, chicken, rab bit, ornamental fencing for. lawns and fencing for any and alF purposes, the leader of the kinds being the barbed wire margin fencing for hogs. The Pride of "Ottawa people will tell you how, since locating in their city, the Warner fence business has shown each year an increase of 75 to 100 per cent over the year before; that the Warner fence goes to all the leading hardware, lumber and implement dealers in all the western states and Canada; that practically every town in the west buys Warner fence; that where 16 years ago woven wire fence was something of an experiment, the. Warners -have established the product a staple article of recognized merit. "But the thing that seems to tickle Ottawa most is the fact that of 1 the five or six wire fence factories that have been started in the west, the Warner Fence company is the only sure enough success the only one in the bunch that eve got a right g6od toe-hold.

Naturally the town of Ottawa is proud of this perhaps be- lievea with all its heart that the loca- lion nas maae this company a -suc- cess, and far be it from the writer to rob thig rich old city of its fond delu- sion.

He built it with a barbed margin woven in at the r- used, aiid it' held. Neighboring 'farmers wanted it: Then hardware men-: sent orders for it, and soon he, hr (inore order than' he could take care of. After securing a patent on bis fencehe devised'; -a 'Hldtf band machine for -malting The -machine was set up In the barn and men em- 'ployed te" or ders.

And as farmers around found out about it, more orders'came in. rJFlra Plant Jn Barm "A power, loom was devised to weave it faster. This was set up in the barn and run by a thresher The "little business increased rapidly with.no efforts to make a sale. All this time the wire used had to be hauled from town out to the farm, made into fencing and hauled back again. The demand for the new hog fence with barb margins became to great that the hauling back and forth became too much of a task.

The plant was moved into the town of Melvern- anj additional machinery constructed. "But all "this time there was a defect the defect of almost every wjire fence, even today.
