Serving a great Railroad Svstem~

ROVIDING adequate, strong, good will building woven wire fences- strong, easy to set up, low cost steel fence posts-signal strand-barbed wire for fences- tie dating nails-rail bonds for signaling and electrifica- tion-wire rope for many uses-are some of the functions of this company in its relation to a great railroad system such as the Frisco. BANNER STEEL FENCE POSTS-r. r. rail design-are well thought of by railroad men as they are easy to install, of great strength and combine a long, useful life with low cost. AMERICAN WOVEN WlRE FENCE has an equal preference and for the same reasons. Guaranteed to give the equal or longer service than any other fence using equal size wire under any given conditions. AMERICAN RAIL BONDS-the standard rail bonds for safety in signalling and telegraphing. Built and engineered to be superior under any service con- ditions. AMERICAN MONITOR WlRE ROPE-conceded by most railroad men to be the strongest and most efficient of all wire ropes. AM ERICAN BARBED WIR E-the original barbed wire-known and used by railroads the world over.

The best dealers in your town are now offering the most unusual buy ever presented American overall wearers. A famous overall company has supplied them with a garment made of a new type denim designed to resist shrinking-to stay the same size despite repeated washings. These dealers guarantee "A new pair free if they shrink." The overalls are called Crown-Shrunk and are made by The Crown Overall Mfg. Company, largest in the world. .

Now The Crown Overall Mfg. Co., largest in the world, has furnished the answer. They bought two denim mills and an entire town, and installed special equipment to produce a super-denim along the lines sct down by Crown textile experts. Crown-Shrunk Denim, the result, is worth many times its cost of development. Xot only does it resist shrinkage as per sworn affidavit ol United Statcs Testing Company, but it is more closely-woven, heav- icr, stronger, tougher and quadruple-dyed! Yet this amazing shrunk feature costs you nothing extra. In fact its long wearing qualities make it far more economical. Crown-Shrunk Denim is produced by a sccret process. The only mills that make this denim are owned by Crown-no other overall maker can buy it. The dealer who sells you Crown-Shrunk Overalls is offering you an exclusive product- the best that his money can buy and the best that you can buy. If Crown-Shrunk Overalls get tight-if they
