Mr. Carl G. Fisher, •
Indianapolis, Ind.
Dear Mr. Fisher:
Replying to yours of the 18th I agree with you that a thoroughly
high-class fence would be preferable to any other kind, but I was only trying to save
= the expenses which is something I feel we must do wherever we can.
You will realize that a fence as you suggest will cost several times what
one would cost like I propose. In the first place the posts would have to be not
more than ten feet apart to keep the board from swagging and looking out of shape,
whereas with the plain strands of wire as I proposed the posts could be twenty feet
apart. The woven wire fence would cost, of course, several times what the plain
strands of wire would cost.
It seems to me that we might run the style of fence that you propose, from
the Dairy up to a short distance above the Nursery and from there all the way over
to the ridge, paralleling ?ine Tree Drive, we could run a cheaper fence auk then along
Pine Tree Drive where it is easily seen by any one driving up that way, we might put
your style of fence again. What would you think of that?
Yours very truly,
