Grant-Warner Lumber Co. Hosts To Many Farmers.

The Grant-Warner Lumber Co. leased the Rex Theatre Tuesday night and used it for the purpose of showing the uses that are made of steel fence and also the methods of erecting the posts and the fence. Mr. Griffo, from the American Steel Wire Co., told of the development of steel posts and of their lasting qualities and many slides were sown in which the posts had been used where strong and durable fences werer-necessary. Books describing the posts and their use were given to each person In attendance, while a number of corner posts and line posts were exhibited. Ice cream, cake and cigars were served and the guests, who were largely farmers, took much interest in the explanation of the posts, and many questions were asked about them, and Mr. Griffo, as well as the proprietors of the lumber company, T. W. Grant and C. C. Warner, answered all questions.
