Quotations
1932
There was the rustle fence, with boom on top and centre; the straight rail fence, made with post planted in the ground, and stake bound alongside with tree wires to contain the rails--bottom, centre and top.
1953
The straight rail fence is used a great deal today. Posts are erected at suitable intervals and the rails are simply nailed into place. These fences have become practicable only since the invention of the wire nail.
