An ope)) letter to tlia rr?ljlloycs of the Frisco SYS~EIII:

'l'lie employcs of the great Frisco System antl the American Steel Sr Wire Company stand together to serve the public, each one in his own way doing what he can to help the other. During the last twenty-five years tlie railroads of this country have made wonderful progress antl the FRISCO SYSTEM stands out as one of the leaders in giving the public improved service. In this great work the employes of the American Steel & Wire Company have in a small way, lielped the eniployes of the Frisco Systcm by supplying them with many kinds of wire and steel products, such as steel fence posts and woven \\ire fencing to keep live stock and trespassers OR the right-of-way so trains could be moved quickly. l'heir rail bonds and signal wires have also helped. Many improvements have been made in the manufacture of steel and wire and to-day the .American Steel & if%-e Company stands out as one of the leaders furnishing quality products. From our vast ore fields we select just the right kind of iron ore for each kind of wire antl all through our steel nlills and wire mills our employes stand ready to help the employes of another great system-The Frisco, in serving the public. Railroad executives know that it pays to buy quality antl the men <\rho use the material pur- cllasecl for them, know that they can (lo better work antl give better service in their section if they have good material to work with. Everyonc is satisfied when quality merchandise is used. Hcre are a few of the American Steel & Wire Company's products used by the railroads: AMERICAN WOVES WIRE FEKCE-American railroad right-of-way fencing is strong and durable.
