IMPEOVED FENCING STANDARDS.Some time ago we issued a circular calling attention to our new Patent Selflocking Steel Fencing Standards, and are pleased to report that we are again in a position to supply any orders which may be sent us. The demand last season proving too great for our stocks, we were unable to quote many inquirers or to supply the whole of our orders. We have recently landed extensive shipments, and have large stocks ready for immediate delivery — in all lengths, from 4ft to 6ft, holed and slotted to any gauge required. The special- advantages of these standards are : their lightness, running 25 per cent, more in number to the ton than the ordinary plain standard ; absolute freedom from breakage in driving and shifting from one paddock to another ; and the patent device for locking the wire, without a single loose part, loss of time, or inconvenience of any kind. With fair usage these standards may be drawn and re-drawn a dozen times without the least breakage, and form, when in position, a strong and attractive fence, everlasting so far as wear and tear are concerned. For repairing as well as renewing any existing fences no more convenient standards can be used, and when lightness and durability are considered the cost of the Patent Self-locking Steel Standard is infinitely less than that of any of its heavier and brittle rivals. Large quantities of these standards are used by the Government and the largest "landed proprietors of the colony ; and we shall be glad to quote prices and send copies of testimonials to anyone requiring standards during the coming season. — Begg, and Wilkinson (New Zealand Implement Company), Castle street, Dunedin, ' "
