Barb-Wire Lawsuits,

The barb-wire lawsuits, which have been pending in the United States Courts for the past five years, have been decided, and the broad claims of the Hunt, Kelly and Glidden patents fully sustained. These suits involve millions of dollars, and render all persons making, selling or using barb wire not made under these patents liable for damages. It is important for farmers and dealers to know that the Kelly Steel Babb Wibe, made by the Thoen Wibe Hedge Company, of Chicago, is made under the patents, and all those who have used it can be happy, as none can molest or make them afraid.
