At the beginning of the inside are an introduction and a note on the type of wire used for the construction of the fences. The fences, which were made or galvanized wire, wood, and steel, were offered in a variety of styles and sizes for yards; cemeteries; cemetery lots; parks; gardens; and as tree and garden guards. Trellises, arches, and farm gates were also available. At the end are terms and conditions. Many black and white photographs and illustrations are included. With abrasions along the spine and corners; creases; slightly dented corners; light foxing; some soiling; and a stain on the cover, the object is in fair condition.
