It won't cost you a penny more to put up genuine CAN'T SAG gates op
your ranch or farm than to build the clumsy, short-lived all-wood gates you
have used for years. That's why the farmers are putting up thousands of
these gates every year. They have found that here is the first practical farm
gate one that will really stand' the hardest knocks, outlast the fell-wood or
wire and gas-pipe gates three to one, and yet actually costs them no more than
the cheapest home-made gates they can build.
CAN'T-SAG gates are not only stronger and cheaper, but they are also
the finest looking gates you can own. They swing both ways easily, aud are
guaranteed never to sag or drag.
PUT UP GUARANTEED CAN T SAG GATES
Buy them complete or build them just as you prefer. We furnish the
gate steels which includes angle steeples, hinges, braces, lag screws every
thing including the lumber. We furnish them so that you can build them any
length or height.
The sample gate now on demonstration at our yard will shojv you just
how they ar made and how they look when hung. The price is low.
