PENNY WISE AND POUND FOOLISH Mr. Farmer: How true this old adage is when it comes to a question of Fencing ! How many farmers realise that the actual wire used in a sevenwire fence (six plain and one barb) represents only about onesixth of the cost? , Exhaustive investigation shows that in a mile of fencing (in average country), Strainers, Posts, Battens Staples Labour and Transport are the principal costs incurred whether a cheap thinly-galvanised wire or the World’s Best Fencing Wire, JOHNSON’S, is used. Do you realise that if you have to pay over £4 per ton more for Johnson’s Wire the actual saving is only between 2/o and U/c in the cost of the completed fence? And that leads us back to our caption—you will be certainly “ penny wise and pound foolish ” if you do not insist on using the Special Heavily-galvanised Wire—the Wire that has stood the strain of. years—built to stand New Zealand atmospheric conditions.
